Introducing a new Ghostbusters story…
Ghostbusters: Trained Professionals follows the Ohio branch of the Ghostbusters — a team that’s enthusiastic, underpaid, and only sometimes knows what they’re doing.
When a night-shift security guard gets slimed and spooked in an industrial building, the franchise dispatches a mixed bag of heroes: Charles, whose scientific curiosity frequently outruns his common sense; Alex, the rule-loving veteran who somehow keeps this circus running; and two brand-new recruits, Miles and Stephanie, who are still learning which end of the proton pack is the business end.
A seemingly routine capture at a local industrial building unleashes something stronger, smarter, and way angrier than expected, causing the team to uncover a mysterious sigil feeding power into a rapidly evolving spirit. With malfunctioning traps, shaking knees (mostly the rookies), and a basement chanting like a demonic yoga class, the crew has to improvise, stay alive, and shut down the source before the entity levels up again, all while learning that Ghostbusting is 10% science, 10% bravery, and 80% not letting Charles touch anything unsupervised.
Packed with humor, action, teamwork, and classic Ghostbusters chaos, Trained Professionals is a supernatural comedy about ordinary people stepping up to extraordinary weirdness — and trying not to get fired in the process.
Meet the writer / director
When I was a kid, Ghostbusters: The Video Game was my gateway into one of the most beloved franchises ever made, and I never looked back. The movies, the science, the lore, the props... it all got under my skin. My name is Corey Evans, and I've spent years dreaming about telling a Ghostbusters story of my own. This film is a labor of love… a chance to pay genuine homage to something that shaped me, made with a team that feels exactly the same way. We hope you love what we've built, and that you'll help us bring it fully to life. |
