\"Anxiety<\/p>\n

SACRAMENTO, CA Horror Author Michael (Deep In The Darkness) Laimo
\nand writer\/director Greg (This Hollow Sacrament) Stechman have
\nreached an agreement to bring Laimos short story Anxiety to the
\nsilver screen. Stechman will write and direct the film. Laimo and
\nStechmans frequent collaborators Jon Rogers, David Clough, Lacie
\nOakley, and Meaghan Sinclair will produce the film under the banner
\nBurning Grounds Independent Media. Production has begun this week
\nin Northern California.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been a huge fan of Michael’s work,” states Stechman, “and it’s a
\nhonor to be bringing one of his very first stories to the screen.”
\nLaimo and Stechman have been collaborating since the beginning of
\nthe year, when Stechman adapted three of Laimo’s novels into feature-
\nlength screenplays, all of which are still in active development.<\/p>\n

Anxiety concerns the workings of a semi-celebrity psychologist and
\nhis controversial (non-medication) therapy for anxiety disorders.
\nInstead of nurturing his patients to cure them, he forces them to
\nface their worst fears. Stechman is no stranger to what scares us
\nhis first feature, the controversial This Hollow Sacrament, has been
\npicked up for distribution by Unearthed Films, USA and it features
\nsome of the most grueling torture sequences and frights ever put to
\nfilm. Critic Nickolas Cook states that Stechmans work drags you
\nkicking and screaming into the depths of hell and doesnt let you up
\nfor air.<\/p>\n

Stechman and Laimo have similar hopes for Anxiety. Stechman adapted
\nhis screenplay from Michaels short story, meticulously studying the
\nnature of anxiety and the physical mechanisms of our fear.<\/p>\n

Casting on the film has just begun. So far set to star in the film
\nare Matthew Donaldson, who starred in the romantic drama Michael and
\nClaire, Marcus D. Shelby of Hollow Sacrament, and actress Krystle
\nFerrin. The film will be shot in Northern California between
\nNovember 2006 and January 2007. Post production on the film will
\nimmediately follow, at which time Stechman and company plan on
\nreleasing the film to all major festivals.<\/p>\n
