Binghamton filmed “Stationed At Home” streaming on Amazon

Binghamton, NY “Stationed At Home” is on a roll. The independent film shot in Binghamton, directed by Daniel Masciari and produced by Eliza VanCort (who was raised in Ithaca), landed one of the biggest wins an indie film can get.

The film has already reached audiences through ad-supported platforms like Tubi and The Roku Channel, and through transactional rental and purchase on Apple TV and Amazon. 

Buoyed by the film’s growing success, its distributor, Freestyle Digital Media, took Stationed At Home international on July 2. Then, on July 15, came the leap no indie film sees coming: Stationed At Home was selected for Amazon Prime Video’s curated streaming library — meaning Prime members can now watch it included with their membership, with no rental fee and no ads. Most independent films never make it this far. Industry estimates put the number of true indies that land a spot on a major streaming platform in the single digits — let alone a curated spot on one of the largest services in the world.

The Binghamton community played a huge part in making it happen. Local investors backed the film, Binghamton bar owners opened their doors as filming locations, and local extras gave up their time to be in scenes.

Five months earlier, on February 18, 2026, Masciari walked onto the stage at the annual Building BC awards to accept the Tourism Trailblazer Award on the film’s behalf — recognition of what the project had already done for Binghamton’s profile, before this latest news.

Even then, the buzz was real. NPR called it “beautiful.” Other critics said it could go down in indie film history. The cast and crew have walked red carpets around the world. Now, with its inclusion in Amazon Prime Video’s curated selection, Stationed At Home has never been more accessible — and neither has Binghamton.

“It’s wonderful to see Binghamton sharing what makes the city and Central New York so very special with the world,” said VanCort. “So many people in the community played a part in this. That’s good for all of us.”

Stationed At Home tells the story of strangers who find unity in their shared humanity — a story shaped by the city that helped bring it to life.
