Zonemedia Inks Amp’d Deal on Mobile Horror Series

LONDON, November 2: Zonemedia's Zone Mobile has entered into
a deal for Amp’d Mobile in the U.S. to exclusively carry its mobile horror
series When Evil Calls.

The 20×2-minute series was written and directed by Johannes
Roberts (Forest of the Damned, Darkhunters) and produced by Pure
Grass Films, a company set up in 2005 by Ben Grass, formerly a senior executive
at Sony Pictures in London. It is available through the Zone Horror WAP site
and all major U.K. mobile operators.

“Original made-for-mobile content
has proven to be one of the breakthrough categories on Amp’d,” said Seth
Cummings, the SVP of content development and programming at Amp’d Mobile. “Our
lead in debuting innovative mobile-specific series, such as When Evil Calls, is a significant factor to why Amp’d Mobile is the
runaway leader in the wireless data ARPU category.”
