The production company behind two new martial arts action movies will be buttering-up Hollywood film executives at this month's Cannes Film

Festival.

Brighton-based Modern Life? is hoping to raise finance for its action horror film Even Dead Men Die and action movie Brutal.

Last year the company sold its first, self-financed, picture, Left For Dead, at the festival.

Producer Phil Hobden said: "With two exciting, high-octane productions in development and a range of meetings already arranged with executives from New Zealand, USA and Europe, Modern Life? will soon be leading the way in independent genre film production."
