Something Anxious: A Double Feature

About the Project

What tears a family apart… depends on the family.

Anxious Attachment – Tyler may just be having the best day of his life. He’s surrounded by the people he loves, in the house where he grew up, and for the first time in years, everything feels right. His brother Patrick would like a word. Written and directed by Douglas Clarke.

Something Ancient – The most deeply profound, yet entirely non-profound, marginally hilarious, heartfelt apocalyptic family saga of at least one person’s lifetime… maybe even yours. Written and directed by Michael Silva.

Both born in 50 hours at Zombie Joe’s in North Hollywood. We’re putting the minivan in second and heading over the hill. Hello Hollywood.
