In his email, Wolford tells me that Myctophobia will begin production in February, for the short film compilation, The Collective Volume 4.
The theme of all films in The Collective Volume 4 is "emotions".
Wolford was assigned fear as his film's emotion. After researching phobias, he settled on myctophobia -- fear of the dark. His script is about a myctophobia sufferer who's alone at home when the lights go out.
The Collective Volume 4 is to premiere at the Days of the Dead convention on July 6-8, 2012, in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Wolford is seeking funds through Indie Go Go so that "the cast and crew gets a little pocket change out of the experience and to help pay for some special effects for the film. All filming with be done over a weekend in late February to keep the costs low."
There are some perks for contributing, so check out the above link.
