Writer Statement<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Greetings,
\u201cPalo Alto Bang & Burn\u201d is a gripping, sci-fi techno-paranormal contained thriller set over a high-stakes 24-hour period. The film follows an idealistic professor\u2019s descent into a clandestine government program where science and reality collide with truths ripped from science fiction. Rooted in current fascination with UAPs and UFOs\u2014heightened by recent congressional hearings\u2014the story taps into a growing cultural and commercial appetite for the mysterious and unexplained. With minimal locations and intense psychological tension, it evokes the urgency of Margin Call and the dread of Contagion, delivering a thought-provoking, emotionally charged experience that balances creative ambition with budget-conscious execution.
Sincerely,
