About this campaign

Set in 2034, The Last Frequency follows Sam Okafor, a former NPR journalist running an underground radio station from a converted school bus. In a near-future where media consolidation has silenced independent news, Sam broadcasts stories that the licensed networks won't touch. When one of his sources disappears after leaking documents about a government surveillance program, Sam faces a choice: go dark and stay safe, or follow the story and risk everything — including the community of listeners who depend on his broadcast. The pilot arc is 10 episodes of documentary-style animation with rotoscoped live-action sequences. Voice cast includes two SAG-AFTRA actors committed to the project.
