On the evening of March 21, 1972 in Santa Monica, California, a teenage girl named Jill Johnson is babysitting the children of Dr. Mandrakis at his house.
Jill runs to the door as a light comes on at the top of the staircase, and the stalker's shadow appears.
The production of The Sitter was made on a low budget with both Feke and Walton working steadily for the financing, including their friends' contributing $1,000 here and there.
[1] Once post-production on The Sitter was completed, Walton and Feke realized that the market for short films wasn't nearly as good as they had both anticipated.
The Sitter had a short theatrical run being screened before Looking for Mr. Goodbar at Mann's Village Theatre in Westwood, California.
