‘Star People’ Trailer – Sci-Fi Thriller Inspired by Real UFO Sighting Opens Next Month

Venture out of your world with the trailer for Star People.

The sci-fi thriller will premiere at Dances with Films in Los Angeles this Saturday, June 28, before hitting theaters on July 25 and VOD on August 12 via Blue Harbor Entertainment.

The film is inspired by the Phoenix Lights, the largest mass UFO sighting in U.S. history. The 1997 event has inspired several other movies, including 2007’s Night Skies, 2015’s The Phoenix Incident, and 2017’s Phoenix Forgotten.

It tells the story of a photographer who receives a tip that could finally shed light on her childhood UFO sighting, but a deadly heatwave and unexpected guests threaten to derail her obsessive search for answers.

Kat Cunning (“The Deuce”), McCabe Slye (Fear Street Part Two: 1978), Eddie Martinez (“The Sinner”), Bradley Fisher (“Westworld”), Adriana Aluna Martinez (“Duster”), and Connor Paolo (“Gossip Girl”) star.

Writer-director Adam Finberg makes his narrative feature debut.

“We’re all in on Blue Harbor’s vision for launching Star People,” commented producer Josh Shader. “With their transparent, collaborative approach, the filmmaker isn’t just a spectator — they’re part of the marketing and distribution game plan from the start.”

“We’re excited to share Star People with audiences everywhere later this summer,” added Blue Harbor. “This eerie, atmospheric thriller deals with one of the more confounding events that remains in question today. Adam and Josh have really captured the unease and wonder of the unknown while keeping you on edge throughout.”
