Ghostheads is a documentary that explores the extreme side of the Ghostbusters fandom. Within the documentary there will be storylines mixed in with interviews from Ghostbuster fans all over the world, such as U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia, Italy, and the UK to name a few places.

Ghostheads is more than a "Hey, isn't Ghostbusters great?!" kind of documentary. Ghostheads contains countless humanizing stories that will connect with audiences about comradery, overcoming obstacles, and that no one should ever feel alone or isolated.

Ghostheads will show what really separates a fandom from the rest. Every Ghosthead is unique. Every Franchise is its own.


Brendan Mertens ("Ghostheads", Director/Writer) has been involved with the online Ghostbusters community for some time as he hosted a Ghostbusters themed podcast. While pursuing the podcast in his spare time, he was able to meet Ghostbuster fans across the globe and see exactly how the Ghostbusters phenomenon had created generations of fans. With each country having multiple Ghostbusters chapters, Brendan noticed that each and every group was incredibly different from how they were run.


Tommy Avallone ("Ghostheads", Producer) is a producer and director known for Community College (2009), and I Am Santa Claus (2014). Tommy's been a lifelong fan of the Ghostbusters franchise and is using his expertise to elevate Ghostheads to a whole new level of film-making.

Lee Leshen ("Ghostheads", Producer) is the founder of Patchwork Media, and has produced the Back to the Future documentary Back in Time. Lee's cut his teeth in the film industry as he worked in the production finance area at Miramax Films and later, partnership marketing at The Weinstein Company.

Raymond Esposito ("Ghostheads", Executive Producer) is the co-founder of Old Lime Productions  and has produced such films as Some Velvet Morning starring Stanley Tucci.  Raymond has been a life-long Ghostbusters fan and has no problem strapping on a  proton pack and suiting up to be apart of the Ghostheads team.

Kevin Sisti ("Ghostheads", Executive Producer) is the co-founder of Old Lime Productions and has produced such films as Some Velvet Morning starring Stanley Tucci.

Please share this with your friends, Ghostbuster fans, co-workers, loved ones and possessed Carpathian paintings located your local museum. We cannot make this film without your support and we cannot thank you enough for that.


With principal photography being completed over the next few months, there are fewer risks and challenges left. Getting the interviews with the cast and crew of the original and reboot Ghostbusters films are important to us. Also, we are trying to get the movie completed in an appropriate amount of time so we don't miss festival deadline. Reaching our Indiegogo goal crosses the streams for us and speeds the process up immensely so we can execute our expectations and meet our deadlines.


It's been over 31 years since Ghostbusters first premiered on the big screen back in 1984, with the film spawning generations of fans all over the world. We're looking to capture the magic the film created by traveling to film the fans and get reactions form those involved with the productions of the original film series as well as the reboot.


Derrick Kunzer ("Ghostheads", Cinematographer) is known for his work on Mancation (2012), Miss December (2011) and I am Santa Claus (2014).

Jay MacKay ("Ghostheads", Art Director) is a Canadian Television graphics designer, video editor, podcaster and all around content creator on the ground floor.


Greg Miller from the "Kinda Funny" crew, did a lengthy and in-depth interview about meeting Dan Aykroyd for "Ghostehads".


Todd Whalen of the British Columbia Ghostbusters, travels more than half way across Canada to reunite with old friends/meet the Ontario Ghostbusters for the first time, all because they share the same Ghostbusters passion.


Tom Gebhardt of the New Jersey Ghostbusters, gets a visit of a lifetime as he Drives his Ecto-1 from Jersey to the set of the Ghostbusters (2016) film.


Alex Newborn of the Florence Ghostbusters, dives deep into his Ghostbusters hobby/passion as it spans almost 3 decades. We also get to see what it's like when a father spreads his love of the franchise to his two sons who then share the same passion as their father.


Jonny Ruckus of the New Hampshire Ghostbusters, has so many proton packs that he was sought out by WWE's Zack Ryder to help him buy his very own proton pack.
