Fathom Events and Concourse Media Present the Story of the Phoenix
Lights Plus Exclusive Roundtable Discussion Featuring The World’s
Foremost UFO Experts
DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fathom Events and Concourse Media present one of the most
out-of-this-world events of the year with “The
Phoenix Incident.” Revisit the possible UFO sighting in Phoenix,
Arizona 19 years ago with this heart-pounding thriller that blurs the
fantasy and reality of what first-hand witnesses experienced. In
addition to the event, audiences will enjoy an exclusive,
never-before-seen panel discussion between UFO thought leaders on
possible government cover-ups, fresh from the 2016 International UFO
Congress.
From Keith Arem, the talent director of AAA video games “Call of Duty”
and “Titanfall,” the event will invite audiences to commemorate this
other-worldly happening and experience a special introduction video that
features exclusive footage from real-life witness accounts, all in
select U.S. cinemas on Thursday, March 10 at 7:30 p.m. local time.
Tickets for “The Phoenix Incident” can be purchased
online beginning Friday, February 12 by visiting www.FathomEvents.com
or at participating theater box offices. Fans throughout the U.S. will
be able to enjoy the event in select movie theaters through Fathom’s Digital
Broadcast Network. A complete list of theater locations will be
available on the Fathom Events website
(theaters and participants are subject to change).
“I grew up in Arizona, close to where the Lights took place, and I’ve
since been captivated by the events and the need for
transparency. Presidential candidates are demanding government
disclosure of UFO incidents and I hope audiences leave the theater with
voracious curiosity for answers,” said writer-director Keith Arem. “I’m
so excited to bring ‘The Phoenix Incident’ to cinemas nationwide with
Fathom Events.”
On March 13, 1997 thousands of people simultaneously witnessed
unexplainable lights in the Phoenix, Arizona night sky. Among those
witnesses was Fife Symington, the state governor at the time. To this
day the Phoenix Lights remain a mystery and footage from this incident
has been used in numerous documentaries on the subject of UFOs. “The
Phoenix Incident” is based on this real-life event. Starring famed
gaming actor, Troy Baker, the event uses whistleblower testimony,
recovered military footage and eyewitness accounts to create this sci-fi
thriller and explore the U.S. military’s alleged engagement of alien
space crafts.
“Fathom is incredibly excited to put Keith Arem’s directorial debut into
theaters this spring. Not only is it an excellent opportunity to show a
new take on the Phoenix Lights, but this event will also explore
first-hand stories through a panel discussion and additional exclusive
documentary,” said Fathom Events Vice President of Programming Kymberli
Frueh.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Fathom Events on this supernatural
thrill-ride,” said Concourse Media co-Partner James Andrew Felts. “It’s
an honor to bring Keith’s vision, accompanied by riveting bonus content,
to a wide audience on one special night.”
