A Sacramento teen is trying to get an early start on a film career with the launching of an Internet-based talk show.

“Sci Fi Stories” is 16-year-old Joseph Cady’s show, which will cover all things paranormal and unexplained in Sacramento and beyond.

Among his subjects: ghosts, UFOs, extraterrestrials, Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster.

“I wanted to do something out of the ordinary,” said Cady, whose father, Brian Cady, will be helping him produce the series. “It will be weekly on Sundays, and we’ll upload the videos to Youtube in the afternoon for people to watch.”

Each program will be 20 or 30 minutes long, and sometimes will consist of sit-down interviews with local experts, while other shows will be filmed on-site.

“He’s almost getting out of school, and we wanted to do something together before he leaves the nest,” Brian Cady said. “We have personalities that collide sometimes, so we’re going to do this together.”

He said he hopes the show ill be something that can help them bond as they work toward a common goal.

Brian Cady said Joseph is very goal-oriented and sets what seem to his father to be impossible deadlines, but always manages to meet them.

“I hope he gets a little bit of attention,” Brian Cady said. “He’s pretty good, and if he puts his mind to it, he’ll do really well.”

Joseph Cady said he has always been interested in science fiction and the paranormal. He was inspired to start his own show by the radio show “Coast to Coast AM,” which covers UFOs, strange occurrences and other similar topics.

The series will premiere on Halloween, with the topic of ghosts.

The following week’s show will be about UFOs and extraterrestrial life.

“We’re hoping to eventually take it to the next level,” Joseph Cady said. “We’d like to get a public access show, and then maybe go on from there.”

Through his website, he encourages viewers to share their own stories, and submissions can be made to scifistories101@yahoo.com.
