I kind of wish people would stop “finding footage” because it is always boring and never delivers a decent money shot. Doesn’t anyone ever find tapes of their neighbors having sex, or snuff films?
The latest “found footage” movie is Zeroinside Films and Pinnovating Productions’ 051: Confidential. I’ll give this one a chance because it’s being directed by Brandon Slagle and produced by Devanny Pinn (Nude Nuns With Big Gun).
Check out the teaser trailer and plot description below. The film is currently shooting in Southern California and Nevada (near the actual location of Area 51) for an anticipated fall 2011 premiere.
The science fiction horror film follows the events that befell a group of individuals in August 2001 who awoke to find themselves all stranded in a desolate area surrounding the military base known as Area 51. That footage was later allegedly used in a Military Training video for new hires at the facility.
As they explore the landscape, attempting to find a way – ANY way – back to civilization, all outgoing transmissions “blocked” and all electrical equipment mysteriously malfunctioning, they come into contact with a mysterious Army Colonel who claims to have survived a “massacre” by extraterrestrials as well as a man named “Lazar”, who claims to have been a former employee of Area 51 and had disappeared years prior…

Thanks for the article! I personally don’t care for most found footage films myself, but we are going to try and do something a bit…different…with the execution of this one…
