Cocky investment analyst Sam Larson has a lot on his mind. After a financial scam goes horribly wrong, he hits the road in a desperate bid to outrun his guilt. A fragment of a radio broadcast, that may or may not be a distress call, lures him to an isolated transmitting station and into a terrifying mystery of murder, madness and the insatiable hunger of a power beyond his comprehension.

AM1200 is a 40 minute horror thriller written, produced and directed by award-winning DVD producer David Prior (Zodiac, Fight Club, Master & Commander).

Was a World Premiere at the 2008 HPLFF in Portland.
