"It'd creeped over the far edge of the rock, just a hand at first, long fork-like fingers gripping the dead animal like a doll. Then I saw the head, and it grinned at me, bright golden eyes cutting the darkness like two beacons. It was as though it knew I was there and had waited for the most opportune time to make its grand entrance and scare the piss out of me, which it did, but I hadn't noticed that until later.
"When I finally made it past the dreadful glow of its eyes, the rest of the thing's face came into focus..."

GREG STECHMAN AND MICHAEL LAIMO PRESENT SUSPENSE/THRILLER ANXIETY
Principal Photography To Begin On Feature Film November 2006
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Friday, September 8th, 2006
SACRAMENTO, CA Horror Author Michael (Deep In The Darkness) Laimo and writer/director Greg (This Hollow Sacrament) Stechman have reached an agreement to bring Laimos short story Anxiety to the silver screen. Stechman will write and direct the film. Laimo and Stechmans frequent collaborators Jon Rogers, David Clough, Lacie Oakley, and Meaghan Sinclair will produce the film under the banner Burning Grounds Independent Media. Production has begun this week in Northern California.
Ive been a huge fan of Michael's work, states Stechman, and its a honor to be bringing one of his very first stories to the screen. Laimo and Stechman have been collaborating since the beginning of the year, when Stechman adapted three of Laimos novels into feature-length screenplays, all of which are still in active development.
Anxiety concerns the workings of a semi-celebrity psychologist and his controversial (non-medication) therapy for anxiety disorders. Instead of nurturing his patients to cure them, he forces them to face their worst fears. Stechman is no stranger to what scares us his first feature, the controversial This Hollow Sacrament, has been picked up for distribution by Unearthed Films, USA and it features some of the most grueling torture sequences and frights ever put to film. Critic Nickolas Cook states that Stechmans work drags you kicking and screaming into the depths of hell and doesnt let you up for air.
Stechman and Laimo have similar hopes for Anxiety. Stechman adapted his screenplay from Michaels short story, meticulously studying the nature of anxiety and the physical mechanisms of our fear.
Casting on the film has just begun. So far set to star in the film are Matthew Donaldson, who starred in the romantic drama Michael and Claire, Marcus D. Shelby of Hollow Sacrament, and actress Krystle Ferrin. The film will be shot in Northern California between November 2006 and January 2007. Post production on the film will immediately follow, at which time Stechman and company plan on releasing the film to all major festivals.
