UPCOMING MEETINGS PAST MEETINGS
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008 - 8:00 p.m.
At the Unitarian Universalist Church
DUANE TUDAHL
Producer of "UFO Files" & the
Original "UFO Hunters" Special
Why are so many UFO shows on TV not nearly as good as they should be? How many times have you turned on a program that you hoped would be a balanced look at UFOs, only to feel tricked by the end of the show? Who is responsible for the content of these programs? Is it the networks’ agenda to debunk the reality of UFOs?
As a producer, writer and/or editor for many episodes of the History Channel show, “UFO Files”, Duane will reveal the source of this bias and some of the roadblocks he ran into while conceiving and creating shows for the series. He will also discuss evidence he found out along the way that turned him from a skeptic into someone who respects the reality of UFOs. He’ll be discussing his experiences working on episodes such as: Hanger 18, Grey’s Agenda, Alien Encounters, UFO Hot Spots, UFO Hunters (the original special, not the current series), Texas’ Roswell and When UFOs Arrive. He’ll also tell us a little about his current projects.
Duane Tudahl grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, where he worked as a medical photographer in the Pathology Department of Johns Hopkins Hospital (Bay View). He moved to Los Angeles in 1987 and was soon editing such Emmy-nominated shows as “Unsolved Mysteries” and the first season of “COPS”. Over time, Duane worked as a producer, writer or editor for over 30 major-network TV programs, including “Ripley’s Believe It or Not”, “Intervention” and “World’s Wildest Police Videos”.
Along the way, he was fortunate enough to team up with co-producer John Greenewald Jr. and have the chance to interview some of the brightest people in the UFO field, including Stanton Friedman, Ted Phillips, Scott Ramsey, Ruben Uriarte, Jim Marrs, Ryan Wood, Stephen Bassett, Ann Druffel and Nick Redfern, among others. Duane has now started his own production company, Mariner Point Productions, and is currently in various stages of production on several shows, including a new one about UFOs.
