THE HUM

Script's by David Carlyle and J.S. Mayank.

The "hum" is an unidentifiable sound that's unending.  No one knows the source.  Theories include insect noise, distant meteors and secret government experiments.

Andrew Mason, 44, is an expert on this hum.  It's become an obsession for him. 

He's also an expert on another phenomenon - numbers stations which are shortwave radio transmissions that broadcast artifically generated messages.  No one knows where they come from or what they mean.

Andrew hosts a radio program in which callers call in with the most outlandish conspiracy theories regarding the hum. 

One call comes in...broadcasting the hum.  Andrew can't believe it.  He's able to locate the location of the call: Wyoming.  Off he goes.  While driving towards the area of the call, his radio is taken over by a numbers station - a girl's voice speaking german, stating numbers.

The whole first act works.  It reminds me of the good episodes of "THE X-FILES" and "LOST."  We're into the mystery.

Unfortunately, everything that follows is terrible.  Turns out a top-secret group has found the hum which is an energy source that could sustain the world indefinitely.  All energy would be free which would send governments and huge corporations into chaos.  This group guards the source in secret - talking to each other in code - numbers stations.   

The final two acts reminds me of the bad episodes of "THE X-FILES" and "LOST." 

Definitely passing on this script.
