Sound, Light & Frequency, 2026
Hollywood. UFOs. Cover-up.
What could go wrong?
Sound, Light & Frequency explores the strange and often overlooked intersection of Hollywood film and television, the UFO phenomenon, and the moments where government influence appears to quietly enter the picture.
At its core, the show asks a simple question:
Is Hollywood shaping our understanding of UFOs, or has popular culture blurred the line so thoroughly that fiction and reality now overlap?
Each episode uses a film or television project as a gateway into the wider world of the Phenomenon. These are not reviews. A movie or series simply becomes the starting point for deeper conversations about influence, belief, perception, and the stories we absorb without realizing it.
Some of the films we discuss are iconic. Others are… not great. But if they involve aliens visiting Earth and contain UFOlogical elements, they’re fair game.
And yes, you can also tune in to hear Bryce and Brent pronounce “UFOlogical” in completely different ways.
The answer comes in the very first episode. The story begins at the NBC/Columbia premiere party for Dark Skies, the television series created by Bryce Zabel and Brent V. Friedman. What should have been a routine industry event took an unexpected turn when an unfamiliar guest introduced himself as being from the Office of Naval Intelligence.
He told us he had seen the show. He had.
He told us we got a lot of things right.
Then he did something far stranger.
That moment, and what followed, gave the series its name.
The first episode, Party Crasher, walks through the encounter in detail and explains why sound, light, and frequency became the framework for everything that followed.
Some answers come early.
Others take longer to surface.
Everything about the UFO/UAP reality issue is up for grabs. Never before has so much discussion been taking place in social media, establishment news, science, education, etc. There are plenty of podcasts that discuss all this, and Bryce even hosts one of them, Need to Know.
Sound, Light & Frequency is not like the others. We're looking at the issue through another lens; the POV of Hollywood.
Bryce and Brent have their own story to tell, of course, but our podcast is about more than that. We are telling the larger story, too — the one where Hollywood, UFOs and government appear to be in some kind of Unholy Alliance to... do what exactly? That's our journey of discovery, and we invite you to join us.

Bryce is a prolific writer/producer in TV and film, an author and, recently, the co-host of popular and critically acclaimed Need to Know. His latest feature film, a true WWII story based on a New York Times bestseller, The Last Battle, is scheduled to shoot in Europe in 2026 with Harald Zwart directing a script written by Bryce. Besides the Emmy-winning Dark Skies, Bryce has created four other primetime TV dramas including Fox’s M.A.N.T.I.S. and The Crow: Stairway to Heaven. His film, Official Denial, was the first original movie produced by Syfy. As a writer/producer, he worked on the development teams for the Spielberg series, Taken, and ABC’s Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.
Bryce has previously been the elected CEO of the Television Academy (the first writer to hold the position since Rod Serling), an on-air CNN correspondent, an award-winning investigative reporter for PBS, and a USC professor teaching graduate level screenwriting. He has authored three books, including A.D. After Disclosure, a classic in UFO non-fiction. He’s a two-time winner of the Sidewise Award for Alternate History as well as the WGA award for Outstanding Limited Series. He’s been an Emmy nominee in the Host/Moderator category, and appears as a subject matter expert on national TV newscasts.

As a creator, writer and producer, Brent has more than 30 years of experience in entertainment across all platforms. In traditional media, Brent has worked with nearly all the major U.S. studios and networks with a passionate focus on science fiction and fantasy, including projects such as Star Trek: Enterprise, The Twilight Zone, Star Wars Rebels, and the Emmy-winning series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and the NBC alien invasion series, Dark Skies, which he co-created with Bryce.
In the early 2000’s, Brent was a transmedia pioneer with his digital media company, Electric Farm Entertainment, and has since become an expert in world-building for multiple franchises including League of Legends, Walking Dead, and most recently, Batman. In games, Brent has worked as a narrative designer and writer for some of the top companies in the business such as Electronic Arts, Zynga, Telltale, 343 Industries, Capcom and Activision.
He has compiled credits on such games as Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, Empires & Allies, Halo 4, Tales from the Borderlands, Resident Evil 2

In this video, Bryce and Brent break down the new trailer for Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day with a shot-by-shot analysis, then make an official announcement of their own. Sound, Light & Frequency is coming in early 2026.
