## Summary

Alliance Media Partners (AMP) has acquired worldwide sales rights to techno-horror film *Modem* ahead of the American Film Market. The deal gives the film an international route to buyers, while its story turns everyday reliance on digital devices into a source of supernatural fear.

In the film, a family’s digital detox holiday in a Swedish forest takes a sinister turn when a teenager switches on an old modem and awakens a demon. The family is tormented, and the disappearance of their two-year-old child fuels paranoia. Tim James Brown wrote and directed the feature debut, which stars Josh Burdett and Amanda Renberg, among others; it has screened at Raindance and festivals in Stockholm and New York.
