After a successful festival run and theatrical tour, Cineverse has acquired all U.S. digital and streaming rights to writer/director Alex Phillips’ blood-soaked erotic thriller Anything That Moves.
Look for Phillips’ sophomore feature to arrive on Fandor on July 14, 2026.
The film is described as a “rust belt giallo” and follows “young bike messenger turned sex worker Liam (played by newcomer Hal Baum) as he traverses the city delivering both sandwiches and divine satisfaction to his love-hungry clients. But as a serial killer begins to target his clients—and the evidence all seems to point back to him—he’s sucked into an all-consuming paranoid frenzy.”
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).
Anything That Moves was shot in Chicago on fleshy Super 16mm by Hunter Zimny (The Scary of Sixty-first, Funny Pages), then blown up and presented on gorgeous 35mm film.
“A daring, provocative vision from Alex Phillips — having previously collaborated with him on All Jacked Up and Full of Worms, it’s thrilling to see him push even further here, refining and expanding his singular voice into something bolder, sharper, and more assured,” said Eric Rowe, Executive Director of Programming at Cineverse. “This is bold, genre-defying cinema that embodies exactly what Fandor champions and exactly the kind of originality our audiences crave.”
The film was produced with cult home video outfit Vinegar Syndrome and features an original instrumental score by Chicago-based artists “Cue Shop.”
“I’m thrilled to continue working with Cineverse to bring Anything That Moves to a wider audience,” said Alex Phillips. “Boarding Anything That Moves with Cineverse continues to elevate Chicago’s independent productions,” said Eddie Linker.
Catch up with Phillips’ feature debut, All Jacked Up and Full of Worms, now streaming on Fandor, ahead of Anything That Moves‘ arrival next month.
