Synopsis:
UFO mega-enthusiast Samuel wants to take his Sci-fi Sam podcast show to the next level by shooting exclusive video at the border of Area 51, the top-secret military base. It’s supposed to be a fun dessert road trip with his girlfriend Ashley, his buddy Kid and Azuza, a crazy hot hitchhiker they picked up along the way… They soon discover that the base’s notorious private security guards aren’t the only ones roaming the lonely desert perimeter – they’ve wandered into a private hunting ground and they’re the prey. Now they might just discover the real truth about aliens and Area 51 – if any of them can survive!
Haitz directs Area 5150 from a screenplay he wrote with Mark Cerulli; the film stars Matthew Lucero, Clair Brauer, Jenna Curtis, D’shae Beasley, Mark Cerulli, Aaron Prager, Rob Wight, Eric Alegria, and Jed Rowen.
Director’s Statement:
This movie is a love letter to some of my favorite movies like the original Alien and The Hills Have Eyes. I wanted to blend both worlds together! We are super excited to be able to start principal photography in March. My current film Cannibal Comedian is in its final stages of post and hopes to have a release late this year!
