Up next from All Jacked Up and Full of Worms‘ writer/director Alex Phillips is the blood-soaked erotic thriller Anything That Moves, and it’s embarking on a cross-country theatrical tour.
Anything That Moves was shot in Chicago on fleshy Super 16mm, then blown up and presented on gorgeous 35mm film.
A lively screening at the New Beverly Cinema in November set the new tour in motion.
Next up is the Roxy Cinema in NYC on December 19, followed by Albuquerque at The Guild Theater on January 2, The Art Theatre in Long Beach on January 9, the Gap Theatre in Wind Gap, PA on January 10 (a double feature with “Corruption”), The Paradise Theatre in Toronto on January 21, SIE FilmCenter in Denver January 24, in multiple Alamo locations (Raleigh, San Francisco, Dallas and Chicago) on February 11, at the Circle Cinema in Tulsa on February 28 and March 1, LA’s Brain Dead Studios on February 20, at the Music Box Theatre in Chicago on March 10, and at the Gateway Film Center in Columbus, OH from March 20-22 – with more dates in the works.
Most screenings will host writer/director Alex Phillips for a post-show Q&A.
The film is described as a “rust belt giallo” and follows “nubile sex worker Liam who bikes with his girlfriend—his partner in both business and pleasure—through the city delivering snacks and divine satisfaction to his love-hungry clients. Meanwhile, a serial killer’s gory murders are piling up, and all the evidence points back to the lover’s bed. With a largely Chicago-based cast, the film also features stand-out performances from erotic film legends and fan favorites Ginger Lynn (The Devil’s Rejects) and Nina Hartley (Boogie Nights).”
Phillips said of the theatrical rollout for his sophomore feature, “As streaming companies smother the movie-going community, we are here to bring people out. And we keep selling out theaters.”
With Executive Producers Missing Link and Vinegar Syndrome’s help, theatres across the country are opening their doors. “Audiences are looking for more engagement with films, with the filmmakers, and with each other,” said Phillips.
