As a spokesperson for the dark comedy/mystery movie noted, Winfield Historical Times...And Other Oddities is a NYU thesis film that will shed much-needed light on the rise of anxiety disorder. Cowle's goal is to do away with the social stigmas that surround the condition, while also entertaining audiences. The film will utilize stop motion and feature elaborately designed scenes and sets.

The film tells the story of a young girl named Chloe who lives a rather typical suburban life in a small cul-de-sac filled with colorful characters. Chloe suffers from anxiety and, because of it, becomes a pariah in her close knit, but well intentioned, community.

One morning, Chloe agrees to find the thief who is stealing Mr. Gladstein's newspapers. In an effort to find the paper bandit, Chloe begins to track her neighbors' activities and soon learns that behind the lovely front doors in her neighborhood, things are not what they appear to be.

"As Chloe gets closer and closer to the truth of the disappearing newspaper, Chloe also learns more about herself," the spokesperson noted, adding that a neighborhood block party that is meant to unite the community brings the film to a surprising and comical conclusion.

In order to help pay for the production expenses associated with bringing Winfield Historical Times...And Other Oddities to life, Cowle recently launched a fundraiser on Indiegogo. There, she and her team hope to raise $15,000 through crowdfunding.

"We want our film to be enjoyed and noticed by as wide an audience as possible, therefore we intend to distribute primarily through the independent festival circuit," Cowle noted, adding that after the festival circuit run is finished, the film will be uploaded to Vimeo for more widespread general access.
