Film Maker

I have been making television programs and documentaries for 20 years on a wide range of subjects from ancient mysteries and the paranormal to global terrorism. My work has been aired in over 40 countries around the world on the BBC, ITV, Discovery Networks, E!, & ABC and many others. I’m known for my investigative specials on all manner of ancient mysteries, UFO’s and the paranormal, including Dreamland, The Lost Ark, The Uninvited, The Cattle Files, Impact Earth, The Real Men in Black, Alien Encounter, The Ark of the Covenant Revealed, The Bermuda triangle Solved, In Search of the Holy Grail and Bigfootville. I have also made Sabina’s Story for BBC2’s Correspondent about the Bosnian War, Bombs and Basques for Channel 4 News about the ETA terrorist group in Spain, and Broken Dagger for TLC & Discovery Networks International about Global Terrorism. In 2003 I wrote, produced and directed my own 35mm short film, a period, comedy ‘noire’ called Rosbeef. A rough cut of the film was shown ‘hors competition’ at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2004. That same year I started working with my producer, Rene Barnett, on a feature documentary ‘Bloodline’ investigating the conspiracy theory at the heart of the Da Vinci Code, namely the marriage of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, their bloodline and the efforts of the Church to cover it up. Bloodline premiered in New York City & Los Angeles in May 2008, selling out theaters in both cities and garnering rave reviews, before opening in selected cities across the USA. “Move over Harrison Ford THIS INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE is the REAL INDIANA JONES…” Stacy Gualandi, Fox 5 News "An AMBITIOUS, sharply INTRIGUING documentary..." Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times “INTRIGUING and FASCINATING…it’s the kind of picture you will be talking about long after you leave the theater.” Sandy Kenyon, WABC, New York "RIVETING...the year's MUST TALK- ABOUT film !"
