About LFP
An independent production company built around a single conviction: that audiences deserve films made with genuine craft, genuine humor, and genuine heart.
The studio
A production company built on conviction
Lunatic Fringe Productions was founded by Anne Welles with a clear mandate: make films for audiences who want to feel something. Not passive viewers. Not algorithm-optimized content consumers. People who show up ready to laugh, be scared, and be moved.
The company operates independently — by design. Independence is what makes the work possible. It means no committee notes, no compromised vision, no films made by consensus. Every production is a deliberate act of creative will.
LFP's work spans horror, retro romantic comedy, action-adventure, and music video — united not by genre but by a sensibility. Satirical humor, shocking horror, ridiculous comedy — and underneath all of it, a glass-half-full belief that humans are worth making films about.
Based in Los Angeles, the company has produced award-winning features and music videos, with multiple projects currently in post-production and development.

Philosophy
What we believe
Story first
Every production decision — casting, location, lens choice, cut — serves the story. We don't make things look expensive. We make them feel true.
Audiences who feel
We make films for people who want to laugh, be scared, and be moved. Not passive viewers. Audiences who show up ready to feel something.
Satirical with heart
Anne's work lives at the intersection of sharp humor and genuine emotion. The comedy has teeth. The horror has warmth. The adventure has stakes.
Independent by choice
Lunatic Fringe Productions operates independently because independence is what makes the work possible. No committee notes. No compromised vision.
