The film follows a woman (Lower) whose life begins to fracture after she begins receiving a series of increasingly invasive and disturbing packages from an unknown sender. As per the synopsis: “Blending psychological horror with grounded character drama, ‘Sender’ explores themes of surveillance, control, and identity in a hyper-connected world.”

The project first gained industry traction when its screenplay landed on the Black List and expanded from Goldman’s earlier short “Return to Sender.”

“Sender is exactly the kind of film that feels tailor-made for the current market,” said Matt Shreder, CEO of Concourse Media. “It delivers a clear, high-concept hook with a sophisticated edge, anchored by an incredible cast led by Britt Lower, Rhea Seehorn and Jamie Lee Curtis. The response out of SXSW only reinforced what we saw early on — this is a smart, gripping psychological thriller with real commercial upside internationally. We’re excited to bring it to Cannes and build momentum with buyers worldwide.”

Added producers Molly Hallam and Jake Katofsky: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Concourse Media as we take Sender to the international marketplace. They have a clear understanding of how to position elevated genre films on a global stage, and Cannes provides the perfect platform to connect this story with audiences around the world.”
