Ghost Team
Ghost Team is an independent comedy-thriller directed by Oliver Irving from a screenplay by Peter Warren, based on a story by Irving and Warren. The feature film's ensemble cast is led by Jon Heder and includes David Krumholtz, Melonie Diaz, Paul W. Downs with Justin Long and Amy Sedaris. For the weekend explorer in all of us, Ghost Team examines the things people believe in to escape the monotony of everyday life and get through the day.
Plot
Desperate to escape the monotony of his daily life, paranormal-obsessed Louis (Heder) puts together a dysfunctional team—his depressed best friend, misfit nephew, a cable access "medium" and an overeager security guard—to mount his own investigation into the beyond. What results isn't just a hilariously terrifying brush with the entities haunting an abandoned farm, but an exploration of friendship, adventure and the things we all believe in to keep going. Everyone's hunting for something.
