STACEY MALTIN
Writer/Director
EXCLUSIVE: Production is underway in New York on C-Side, an independent feature film from writer-director Stacey Maltin (Triple Threat), who reunites with Emmy and Tony nominee Tovah Feldshuh (Nobody Wants This) following her performance in the helmer’s 2026 Oscar-contending live-action short film, Malka.

Her cinematic choices, where flashbacks are stylized as performance, intentionally mirror the performative nature of identity and remembrance. With this, Malka becomes more than a reflection on history: it becomes a challenge to remember, to empathize, and to act with hope.
"The millenial musical has arrived and I'm here for it."
"It’s not hard to imagine theater kids watching Triple Threat
and being transfixed and falling in love, it’s a love letter to
those wicked souls who’ve left it all out on the stage. "
- Sean Patrick, Vocal Media Geeks
"Despite the despicable nature of her character, Stacey Maltin is
quite good as Chrissie; she’s bubbly and energetic when she needs to
be, but also selfish and hatable during the darker moments of the story"
"Maltin delivers a solid and fearless performance. Her script doesn’t
sugarcoat the dangers they face. At times, viewers may feel
uncomfortable with the choices these wayward women make.
But that’s probably the point.
"Landing Up is a dark, yet heartfelt, story about resilience, love, and
the will to dream even when the world tells us not to. Stacey Maltin
does an excellent job as Chrissie; her struggle through the city is
palpable, and the on-screen dynamic between Maltin and Hines is touching."
- Clent Bowers, Clent Bowers Reviews
"Not often do you get a movie that you feel you haven’t seen before
or heard the story told from a specific perspective. Landing Up is a
quality independent film, with good performances and engaging plot.

“Maltin has delivered a beautifully crafted film that is, in the end, a love story within a love story within a love story. With finely defined characters matched by solid performances, snappy music, and camera work (Dani Tenenbaum and Joel Crane) that highlights the motions and emotions of its players, TRIPLE THREAT is a welcome reminder of the energy and hope that is the lifeblood of theatre.”

THE OTHER SIDE
Recorded in New York City, Franklin Leonard chats about THE OTHER SIDE with writer Stacey Maltin. Franklin and Stacey talk about how a secular Jew from San Francisco ended up being a voice-over actress in Israel, and then returned to Brooklyn to write about a Williamsburg hipster and a Hasidic Jew falling in love.
"Stacey Maltin stars in and directs Triple Threat and is a producer on
the movie as well, essentially a triple threat, and she’s incredible. "
- Sean Patrick, Vocal Media Geeks
"For anyone looking for a film that's fun & provocative, this is a must-see."
"The songs here are fantastic. They have something to say and with good melodies…”
- Alan Ng, - Film Threat
""Stacey Maltin not only co-stars in this film, she also directed it, co-wrote it and co-produced it. Definitely, a rising star to keep an eye on. This film very much feels like her story, which only adds to the realism.”"
- Ris Fatah, - Queer Guru
"Triple Threat is a visual biography comparison to, ''Tick, Tick, Boom!'' from the millennial perspective. The film's respectful inclusivity of the LGBQ+ representation is a PRIDE month list to must-watch."
