A PROBLEM WITH FEAR by Gary Burns
fiction | 2003 | 92 minutes | English

with Paulo Costanzo, Emily Hampshire, Camille Sullivan, Benjamin Ratner, Keegan Connor Tracy, Jennifer Clement, James McBurney and Willie Garson

Laurie Harding (Paulo Costanzo) is pretty much afraid of everything; elevators, escalators, crossing the street, spaghetti (or any red sauce meal) … intimacy. This makes him the perfect consumer for Global Safety Inc.’s incredible new product: The Early Warning 2 Safe System™. Through your PDA or a Safe Bracelet™ the System alerts you to danger and sends for help! The problem is, fear is now running rampant through the city as people are dying from the very things Laurie fears most. He’s certain that he’s to blame for the “Fear Storm” gripping the city because he had the prototype System before anyone else. While his girlfriend, Dot (Emily Hampshire) tries to force him to commit to their relationship Laurie resolves that he must cross the street to save the world.
