Synopsis

In 1997, four campers went missing during the Phoenix Lights incident, and their bodies were never found. *The Phoenix Tapes 97* consists of the final footage recorded by the group. The film is dedicated to the lives lost during the events depicted, to their families and friends, and to the authorities who continue to seek answers. The tapes were discovered by Dustin Miller's father two years after Dustin was mysteriously shot and killed during a traffic stop in Texas. Peter Miller believes his son was acting as a whistleblower and had smuggled the tapes from his classified government agency in an attempt to reveal the truth about what actually happened to the four missing campers featured in the footage. After reviewing every newspaper and media publication in Phoenix from that time period, only one initial announcement was found stating that four campers had been reported missing, along with a formal police report folder held by the local police department, which contained no files.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
