THE BACKGROUND

On Feb 24, 2014, an Internet link was posted to a small paranormal image board. It was streaming content with nothing more than the description “Watch this.”

The number of viewers peaked at 1846 before the stream went dead.

Some quickly realized what they were watching would be life-changing. Those with the capabilities to record rushed to do so. The earliest known recording starts about six minutes after the stream went live.

It needed to be shared.

This is that footage, finally released to the public.

It is stunning, perception altering… and real.

THE SECRET

Between 2008 and 2013 the repository of alien artifacts and U.F.O. files was moved from Area 51.

A small group of Army engineers were commissioned to build a new facility 65 miles to the northwest at Tonopah Air Force Base, officially designated Area 52. After the Top-Secret underground facility was complete the entire team was killed in a “tragic accident.”

One man, however, survived and escaped. Filled with rage at the murder of his team, he became determined to get revenge by exposing the site's secrets. He gathered a small team of UFOlogists and scientists – some true believers, others absolute skeptics.

THE ENTRY TEAM

Captain Roger Reed – The lone survivor from the construction team that built Area 52’s underground repository. Devastated by the murder of his team he engineered and led the break-in.

Dr. Mitchell Harrison – a congenial, highly respected UFOlogist and psycho-therapist who specialized in the study of alien abduction.

Dr. James Cambridge – the stuffy head of the psychology department at a prestigious university, and a highly vocal skeptic in the area of UFOs and alien visitation.

Dr. Jan Thompson – a beautiful, compassionate biological physiologist. Her role was to confirm that the lifeforms in cryogenic storage at the vault were, indeed, alien.

Harley Stone - a hard, volatile, ex-special forces soldier who had been abducted by aliens multiple times throughout her life.

Robert Hunter – the physically imposing, yet charming host of the upcoming reality television series, Alien Hunter.

Faith and Hope Anderson – teenage sisters whose father was killed with Reed’s team. Both were computer and electronics experts. Faith entered the facility. Hope remained outside the base, parked in the desert in “mission control,” an RV outfitted with the electronics needed to live-stream the truth to the world.

Area 52

THE MISSION

Despite violent clashes of personalities and beliefs, the ragtag team managed to pull together long enough to succeed with a simple but ingenious plan that got them into the underground vaults. Unfortunately, due to a power shutdown, two aliens in a cryonic chamber thawed out, trapping the small group in the dark underground chambers with deadly creatures not of this world.

The results were absolutely terrifying. Manuvering through the claustrophobic hallways of the underground facility the seven intruders never knew what turning the next corner would bring — wondrous proof of exactly when, where, and why aliens have been visiting our planet… or sudden, horrific death.

In the end, it was both.

STYLE

Each member of the documentary team was fitted with video cameras. They also managed to tap a video feed into the facility’s security cameras. The footage they captured – every secret they discovered, each desperate moment they experienced – was streamed off-site to where Hope, working like a video director of a live sporting event, frantically cut from camera-to-camera as it was broadcast live over the Internet.

Vaults below AREA 52

The movie-going public will see the captured footage exactly as it was originally streamed. There are no jumps in continuity whatsoever - every minute is filled so the entire experience takes place over 90-minutes straight through. The result of this first-person video game style is the viewer will feel as if they were there.

This is not a static “found footage” film where nothing happens for 90% of the movie. The first shocking death – vintage military footage of a captive alien attack – is shared in the opening five minutes. Once trapped in the underground chambers with reanimated aliens, the real time horror comes fast and furious.

We are thrilled to announce a new member of our team! Julian Thomas, the creator of the Racelogic high-def mini camera has agreed to let us use this cutting-edge technology for our shoot! These amazing cameras from England, designed for racecars, are not only tiny but they have a built-in anti-jiggle feature that no other camera we've seen has. When our characters run - and boy, they better! - our picture will remain fairly stable. So cool! You can learn more about these incredible cameras at www.racelogic.co.uk.

INTERESTING TRIVIA ABOUT US

Producer Ken Parker, Director/Writer Rory Johnston, Camera Operator Dan Ischo, and set designer Adam Turner all met at church! Rory was Creative Arts Director, Ken was turning out amazing videos on a weekly basis, some of which were shot by Dan, who also operated a camera on Billy Topit Master Magician, a film directed and starring magician Lance Burton, in which Rory played the villain. Robert Routin not only builds sets, he has acted in Rory's projects and Rory has acted in his. Several of our publicity people, Robin Joyce, Tay Tay Singer, and our poster designer Shad Fox are also friends who attend our church. Does it seem odd that we should be doing a horror film? Naw! We love great entertainment!

MULTIMEDIA!

One interesting aspect to our movie experience is our planned multimedia backup. We are creating websites for our scientist and UFOlogist characters, and Facebook pages for the twin sisters, Faith and Hope. Viewers who wonder if our story is fiction or if it actually happened can go to the Internet to check the facts – they’ll find everything referred to in the film can be documented through multiple sources. Kinda cool, and we don't think it's ever been done. Could this thing cause a sensation, like Orson Welles' 1938 radio broadcast of War of the Worlds? Be kinda fun if it did, huh?

Please join our family! Give generously!
