Being billed as "a subversive, comedic take on the found footage genre," (subversive? Really?), Ghost Team One was something of a Slamdance audience hit. The film is about two guys that get in over their heads when they both fall for a girl who believes the spirit of a vengeful madame is haunting their home, and decide to make a documentary about it with hopes of getting laid.

Synopsis:
In order to impress a girl, two roommates set out to make a documentary about a murder that took place in their house decades ago. The girl thinks that the victim's ghost still resides there, and the two guys think that making a movie with her will get them laid. But after setting cameras up around the house, the legitimately supernatural occurrences that follow make it apparent that the ghost is not only real, but that she’s a vengeful Vietnamese madame from the 1930’s that’s become smitten with our guys. 'Paranormal Activity' meets 'Harold and Kumar'.
