Synopsis

Ava was the hottest investigative journalist in town until her ego got in the way. Now no legitimate News network wants to work with her. Desperate to rebuild her career, she accepts the only job she can find: Ava is now the host of a paranormal investigation show on a digital cable channel. Each week she must lead her inexperienced film crew, Max and Nav, on a hunt to catch obscure monsters on camera. The problem is, they start succeeding. Ill-equipped to deal with threats like monsters, demons, and cults, the gang is in over their heads and will be in constant danger. However, that will not stop them. They are determined to make the show a success. But it will cost them.

That was really good. I like idea. X-files esque, meets Blair Witch comedy. - Shirts Comedy

I can see where you're going with this, and I think it's good. I'm not sure it hits the nail on the head precisely, but that's what the budget is for, right? I'd love to see this with more of a Cinéma Vérité Blair Witch feel, but combine that with the skillful snark of a show like Psych. Good concept, but the method needs a little work. For example, why are our heroes standing around in a clearing yelling about Bigfoot's erection, rather than hiding behind a stump and whispering about it in a state of shock or arousal?
