We've got to separate the artists and the trashmakers. We make the art and call it trash. They --Hollywood-- make the trash, then call it art.

HISTORY

About three years ago, the concept for Anxiety Films came out of an idea Eric Eichelberger, the president of the company, had for a movie. He wanted to take a cinematic technique that Alfred Hitchcock used in many of his films, including "Rear Mirror" and "Frenzy" and apply it to a 1950's style sexploitation flick. Thus, the movie "Women in Anxiety" was born. What he realized then was that the same element he liked about different kinds of movies, such as Horror, Sci-Fi, Cult, Experimental, Arthouse, Eurotrash, Sexploitation, Sleaze, and B-Movies was the underlying anxiousness in the films. Since then, Anxiety Films has grown into an online community for lovers of all bizarreness and anxiousness in film and in life.

The goal of AnxietyFilms.com is to create a place for independent film-makers in these genre's from all over the world and all walks of life to explore their insanity and have a place to showcase their work. AnxietyFilms.com conducts interviews with film-makers, provides film- maker profiles, showcases art and still images, and sells dvd, video, and memorabilia from Horror, Sci-Fi, Experimental, Arthouse, Cult, Eurotrash, Sexploitation, Sleaze, and B-Movies the world over. AnxietyFilms.com explores different mediums and experimental modes of expression. We highlight making low-tech high-tech, and vice versa.

Anxiety Films, LLC is a Los Angeles based independent film company that writes, directs, produces, and edits microbudgeted horror/trash films for domestic and overseas direct to video distribution. Anxiety Films deals directly with distributors for financing. Films are shot on location with consumer quality digital video to keep costs low. Anxiety Films also puts all money allocated for film budgets into the picture to keep production value high.

Anxiety Films shoots with small crews who are extremely tight and have been working together for several years.

The company runs two successful film festivals, Shock-A-Go-Go, a 24-hour B-Movie Extravaganza, and Mini-Shock, a festival highlighting short films from the same genres.

Anxiety Films also produces a magazine, Anxiety Press, that features interviews with some of our B-Movie stars and directors (basically a self glorification with pretty pictures).

The company advocates D.I.Y. (Do-It-Yourself) ethics and has two primary goals: (1) To fuck up the Hollywood system and promote revolutionary ideas in film and video production, and (2) To make B-Movie stars out of seemingly ordinary girls (not the typical big tittied blonde types).
