Producer of UFO Files and the original UFO Hunter 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 the program? Is it the agenda of the networks to debunk the UFO reality? As a Producer, Writer and Editor for many episodes of the History Channel show, UFO FILES, I’ll reveal the source of this bias and some of the roadblocks involved with getting the truth out there. I’ll also discuss in detail what is involved with conceiving and creating these shows. Finally, I’ll discuss the evidence I learned along the way that turned me from a skeptic to someone who respects the reality of UFOs and how that has influenced what I hope is my next project about Ufology. Bio- 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 for such EMMY nominated shows as UNSOLVED MYSTERIES and the 1st season of COPS. Duane eventually began producing, directing, writing and/or editing for over 30 additional television programs including RIPLEY’S BELIEVE IT OR NOT, INTERVENTION and WORLD’S WILDEST POLICE VIDEOS and for networks such as NBC, FOX, CBS, CNN, HGTV, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, THE HISTORY CHANNEL, A&E, UPN, FINE LIVING, DISCOVERY, PAX and many others. The episodes that he produced, wrote and/or edited for UFO FILES includes: UFO Hunters (the original special, not the current series), Hangar 18, Texas’ Roswell, When UFOs Arrive, UFO Hot Spots and Alien Encounters among others. Along the way, he was fortunate enough to team up with co-producer John Greenewald, Jr. and interview some of the best and brightest in the UFO field including: Stanton Friedman, Ted Phillips, Scott Ramsey, Ruben Uriarte, Jim Marrs, Ryan Wood, Stephen Bassett, Ann Druffel, Richard Dolan, Dennis Balthasar, Peter Robbins, Walt Andrus, John Schuessler, Ken Storch, Dr. Roger Leir, Nick Redfern as well as too many others to count. Duane has started a production company (Mariner Point Productions) and is currently in various stages of production on several shows including a new show about UFOs.
