READ MORE: Watch: How ‘The Phoenix Incident’ Pulled Off Its Craziest Stunts
Today’s video focuses on location shooting, and how Arem took his team to the scorching desert of Arizona. “The Phoenix Incident” is based on the Phoenix Lights sighting of 1997, the largest alleged UFO sighting in US history. The film attempts an often realistic documentary style approach, juxtaposing these sequences with more traditional narrative filmmaking techniques. The style calls for authenticity and a feeling that could only be captured in Phoenix itself.
Lead actor Troy Baker said the experience was akin to “going to camp” — albeit a camp in the middle of a 99 degree desert littered with scorpions and snakes.
“The Phoenix Incident” is in select theaters now.
