FLIGHT RISK PRODUCTIONS

FREQUENCY UNKNOWN

Frequency Unknown is a ghost hunting parody series. In Episode 1, paranormal investigators Nate and Shawna are called in to investigate a supposedly haunted theater, but what they uncover raises questions about whether the haunting is real or staged.

When former punk rocker and legend-in-her-own-mind Shawna teams up with self-styled skeptic and award-winning photographer (according to his own book) Nate, the evidence initially points to a genuine haunting. But as their hosts keep showing up where they shouldn’t and interfering with the investigation, Nate and Shawna begin to wonder if the theater is staging paranormal activity to boost ticket sales.

After reviewing the footage, they realize they may have acted a little too quickly by declaring a hoax.

If you enjoy paranormal investigations, haunted theaters, ghost hunting shows, and comedy-meets-horror content, this episode explores how claiming a haunting for profit can backfire… and somehow still pay off.

ABOUT FLIGHT RISK

Flight Risk Productions was created by Beth Brousil, Erik Hejnosz, and Jeremy Lamb out of a shared love of storytelling, collaboration, and making things weird.

Beth and Erik met in 2018 while taking classes at Westside Improv. They went on to perform together on improv teams and immersive murder mystery nights in Chicago’s western suburbs. Beth and Jeremy met in 2020 while perusing Bumble (some of Beth’s friends still call him Bumble Jeremy).

In September 2024 with Jeremy behind the camera, Beth as reporter Missy Coppertone, and Erik playing a douchey podcast host, they collaborated on a video to kick off The Mystery Department’s podcast-themed event for the city of Glen Ellyn.

The Mystery Department next asked them to create a trailer for a fictional romantic Christmas movie called, “A Holly Jolly Merry Mix-Up.”

Beth, Erik, and Jeremy realized that by combining their talents in front of and behind the camera that they were making content that they were super proud of.

One night while editing, Erik said, “Wouldn’t it be great if this was our job?” And Flight Risk Productions was born.
