At last, the wait is over.

Next month Anne Bobby teams up with actress Barbara Rosenblat (“Orange Is The New Black”) and re-teams with Dream Out Loud Media and the award-winning web series “In Fear Of” to take a trip of her own to that 'other dimension' with her first short film, a touching and terrifying glimpse into Hoarder's Syndrome where the horror that is being buried alive in a world of one's own making will take on a WHOLE new meaning...

DISPOSOPHOBIA:  

A 'Twilight Zone' Episode All Her Own

Before starring in Clive Barker's 'Nightbreed' and 'Bioshock'...

Before merging a 30-year acting career with her ever-expanding writing career...

Anne was a Twilight Zone fan. For her, television was never better – more thought-provoking, chilling, moving and timely -- than Rod Serling's short-form allegorical masterpieces. They've never stopped inspiring her, and for years Anne waited for the right time, the right project and the right story to put that inspiration to work. The time has come and "Disposophobia" will be the result. AND...

For as little as fifteen dollars - the price of a movie - you can take the journey with us and see it for yourself! 

(Ida Lupino, "Sixteen Millimeter Shrine" Twilight Zone,Season One, Episode 4)

And you can see it FAST, because in order to appear in Season Two of IN FEAR OF, Disposophobia needs to be completed by November 4! 

  • Your contribution will let us shoot DISPOSOPHOBIA over three days on locations in New York City and Brooklyn - covering insurance, transportation, and accommodations both on-set and off (for out-of-town crew) 

  • Money raised will also insure that at least ONE scene will be shot in green screen, as well as help expedite the post-production process without our quick turn-around impacting the quality of the finished film
  • Your contribution will also help us promote both the film and the webseries as a whole

    This film will be shot under a SAG-AFTRA contract. Combined, this creative team brings over a century of experience to this project, in front of as well as behind the scenes.

Every dollar raised will go into making this film the best it can be, with a union cast and top-notch crew earning a salary that their time, experience and artistry deserve. 
In exchange, you'll get a download of DISPOSOPHOBIA, BEFORE the release of the series. 


You can also get an opportunity to follow our progress in a private blog...

(John Williams and Jack Weston, "The Bard", TZ Season Four, Ep 120)

Attend a private screening and dinner party in New York...


(Larry Blyden and Sebastian Cabot, "A Nice Place To Visit", TZ Season One, Ep 28)

Even get a chance to appear in the film!

("A World Of Difference" TZ Season One, Episode 23)

AND...

If you have a story YOU'VE wanted to tell the world...?

(Burgess Meredith, "Time Enough At Last", TZ Season One, Episode 8)

You can even get Anne to record it for you!

So check out all our perks, give what you can... and help make THIS short film a classic that Serling himself would have loved!


Our Team:

Writer/Actress/Producer: ANNE BOBBY

(Photo: A Burroughs)

While most familiar to the horror/scifi/fantasy world as Lori in Nightbreed and as the voice of Brigid Tenenbaum in the Bioshock series, Anne has worked extensively on and off-Broadway, in film, television and commercials, games, audiobooks and publishing, with some of the finest masters of their craft. Her Broadway and Off-Broadway credits include Tom Stoppard’s The Real Thing with Jeremy Irons, Black Comedy with Peter MacNichol and Kate Mulgrew and Alan Aykbourn’s Communicating Doors, replacing Mary Louise Parker, as well as the long-running hit I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change. Her Television credits include Mad About You, Children of the Bride (and 2 sequels), Steven Bochco’s legendary experimental Cop Rock as well as lots of 'Law and Orders' that keep popping up late at night. Her films include Beautiful Girls, the Oscar-winning Born on the 4th of July, the Indie classic Happiness and The Pickup Artist (With Robert Downey Jr). Anne has thousands of commercials and radio plays to her credit and is the voice of dozens of audio books, radio dramas, podcasts and games. She's also devoted over twenty years to the cause of animal rescue, volunteering at shelters and her local animal hospital. This work has resulted in her writing two non-fiction works: Love Me Or Leash Me and Best Friend For Life: 75 Simple Ways To Make Me a Happy, Healthy and Well Behaved Dog (Forwarded by Neil Gaiman). She starred in the solo show That Woman: Rebecca West Remembers, co-written with West’s great niece, which ran off Broadway and toured Amsterdam and The Hague. She's just completed her second play, and is currently writing a miniseries based on her first novel, as well as awaiting the release of her next film, Corey Norman's modern gothic The Hanover House

Actress: BARBARA ROSENBLAT

Currently seen in Netflix's breakout hit (no pun intended!) Orange Is The New Black, Barbara has also worked extensively in theatre both on Broadway and in London's West End, as well as the Edinburgh Festival. She is also one of the most sought after and beloved narrators in this country and in the UK. Billboard magazine has said of her work that she 'is spoken of with the same reverence and affection that the music industry reserves for Frank Sinatra and the Beatles'. Her extraordinary range and distinguished body of work (over 400 titles to date) has earned her eight coveted Audie Awards from the Audio Publishers Association. The Audies are the industry's Oscar and Barbara has won more of them than any female narrator – making her, according to one critic, “to audiobooks what Meryl Streep is to film."

Production Company: DREAM OUT LOUD MEDIA

Director/Producer: JON ECKLUND

In his over 20 years of work in the production of on-camera commercials, Jon has worked in nearly every aspect of production on campaigns for Volkswagan, Wendy's Campbell's Soup, Exxon, BMW films, Verizon and dozens more. He holds an MFA from the Yale School of Drama, and a BFA from the University of Texas at Austin. In addition to his work as an actor,and director, Jon also produced 36 live productions during the first 3 years of Yale Cabaret Hollywood, where he is a founding member.

The Web Series: "IN FEAR OF"

Created by Scott W. Perry in 2012 In Fear Of is a web series that looks into the clinical phobias that inhabit us. The first season slate of episodes played at the 2nd annual Macabre Faire in Long Island, NY (the only films to play twice on the festival's schedule) and Monophobia won Best Horror Comedy Short Film at the 2012 Buffalo Screams Horror Film Festival.
