The synopsis reads: “Hank Krinkle is a reclusive social content manager who spends his days policing the most corrupt corners of the internet while caring for his abusive and dying father.

As Hank becomes increasingly involved in this hidden web, his grip on the real world begins to unravel. What begins as a desperate attempt to save his father turns into a no-holds-barred journey through exploitation, male ego, and the violent underbelly of online culture - forcing Hank to question whether he's still the person in control of his life or just another non-player character trapped in someone else's game.

Producer Tim Cairo said: "The non-player character expertly combines surreal horror with the menacing hypermasculinity of the vigilante thriller, offering a chilling portrait of our digital existence." This is exactly the kind of boundary-pushing material that AMP specializes in bringing to market. We couldn't be more excited to partner with AMP in introducing the bold new vision of Nathan Tape to the world. "

Anthony Buckner and Bob Portal negotiated the AMP deal with Logan Taylor of New Ratio Films and Tim Cairo of Cairo Pictures.

Anthony Buckner, AMP's head of sales and acquisitions, added: “Non-player character is exactly the type of bold thriller that is happening in today's market. It's smart, unsettling, and serves up our growing dependence on technology while delivering a compelling story with real edge. We are excited to offer it to buyers around the world.
