more research indicates the movie was up on Vimeo but was taken down on Tuesday.

from an article on CNN

quote:

"Montauk," which won an award at the Hamptons Film Festival in 2012, was a found-footage sci-fi short that told the story of a violent event that took place in the Long Island community. The premise dealt with conspiracy theories, secret government projects and the paranormal, as described in the lawsuit. A cop haunted by his past was among the key characters.


That makes me pretty sure the clip I posted earlier is in fact from the movie in question.

However, w/o being able to see it it really does seem to me that if anything was ripped off it's Preston Nichols' book The Montauk Project: Experiments in Time.

It should be pretty easy to prove if the writer did in fact have a meeting with the Duffer brothers and pitched his idea to them.
