Interesting facts

Brooklyn 45 is a 2023 American real-time supernatural thriller film written and directed by Ted Geoghegan about a group of military veterans holding an impromptu séance in the parlor of a Brooklyn brownstone at the close of World War II. Geoghegan penned the screenplay with assistance from his late father, a disabled Air Force veteran-turned-history teacher.

Production

After the popularity of a short séance sequence in his 2015 film We Are Still Here, writer-director Geoghegan began toying with the idea of crafting an entire film around a séance. Reaching out to his late father, a quadriplegic Air Force veteran who became a U.S. History teacher, the filmmaker spent several months detailing the plot with his parent, ensuring that it was both historically and militarily accurate.

The film was produced by Shudder, as part of a slate of "Shudder Originals" to debut exclusively on the streaming service.

The film was shot on a soundstage outside of Chicago, Illinois. Over one hundred antique photos, which adorn the walls of the parlor, were donated by friends and family after the filmmaker reached out on social media.
