Please email us your application and relevant demos to apply@jessemichelsmedia.com For decades, U.S. intelligence (namely, the CIA and Office of Naval Intelligence) has been quietly shaping what Hollywood tells the public about UFOs, hiding truths in plain sight. Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman, creators of the 1996 NBC alien-themed series Dark Skies, say a man claiming to be Naval Intelligence showed up at their own premiere party already knowing what was in their unaired pilot, and offered them a trade: classified access for guidance on their future scripts. Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Poltergeist Director Tobe Hooper told Brent that Steven Spielberg got the same offer after Jaws, took the deal, and went on to make Close Encounters and E.T.. Separately, Brent Friedman says his family friend John Herrington who later became Secretary of Energy (Head of the entire Department of Energy) told him privately after a few drinks that aliens are real and he’s seen them. Official attempts have been made to get Herrington (now 87) to testify about these claims, but he’s ignored them. Friedman himself also reports of having had an encounter with a “Nordic” alien being. This was one of the wildest episodes we’ve ever filmed. Live now. -------------------------- Support Our Other Projects Below!
