Solving an initial value problem for a hyperbolic system, we prove existence and uniqueness of time-like immersions of prescribed anisotropic mean curvature into Minkowski space $\mathbb{R}^(2,1)$ subject to geometric initial conditions.
Keywords: time-like surface, prescribed mean curvature, Minkowski space.
