Episode 731: In The Seats With... Adam Finberg and 'Star People'
Description
Sometimes it's easy to forget to look up....
On this very special episode we dive into a movie on VOD platforms now that reminds us the need to look up. It's time for 'Star People'.
On March 13, 1997, thousands of people in Arizona witnessed the largest mass UFO sighting in U.S. history—now famously known as The Phoenix Lights. Among them was 10-year-old Claire, who felt as if the lights called to her. Years later, Claire (Kat Cunning), now a photographer, is still chasing that moment, hoping to capture the lights on camera and finally make sense of what she saw. When a mysterious tip leads her deep into the Arizona desert during a deadly heatwave with her UFO streamer boyfriend (Connor Paolo) and troubled brother (McCabe Slye) in tow, they encounter a vulnerable immigrant family whose plight complicates her mission. As tensions rise, Claire searches for the answers she seeks on terra firma and among the stars.
We had the unique pleasure of sitting down with writer/director Adam Finberg to discuss the origins of the story and so very much more.
