Found footage thriller Area 407 is the latest project at IFC midnight.
In a press release from the studio, it was announced that IFC Midnight has picked up the North American rights to the sci-fi thriller from directors Dale Fabrigar and Everette Wallin. The film features "lost footage too real for reality and too disturbing for fiction."
Unknowns Abigail Schrader, Samantha Lester, and James Lyons star as two teens on their way from New York to L.A. After their plane crashed on a government-testing area they are unwillingly a part of a secret government project called the Mesa Experiment.
President of Sundance Selects/IFC Films said that "AREA 407 is a rollercoaster ride of thrills that we think is the perfect IFC Midnight film. Dale Fabrigar and Everette Wallin have a lot of fun with genre conventions and deliver a film that is both a lot of fun and also quite scary. We look forward to working with them on this film.”
Although the found footage concept has been nearly worn out, Fabirgar and Wallin have said that they are "excited about bringing something new to the found footage arena. Airplanes and monsters were just the beginning of the story for us, so to have IFC come in and be a part of it only makes the journey all the more worth while.”
