BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — A mystery/horror film primarily shot in the Binghamton area in February 2021 released in limited theaters and on video-on-demand services on Thursday.
Filmmaker Andy Mitton filmed “The Harbinger” using the Visions Veterans Memorial Arena in Binghamton as well as the Goodwill Theatre and Firehouse Stage in Johnson City.
While the story is set in New York City, most filming was done using the qualified production facility at the arena and employing local crew.
