The ProducerHaving a passion to tell stories of the unexplained I started my first content creation in 2002 with a very low budget UFO documentary titled 'The Oz Unknowns' and a short film 'Soul Catcher'. At this time I was running under Kanova Productions. Through Kanova I developed and produced a four part documentary series about ghost hunting, titled 'PI - Paranormal Investigators'. It was pieced together using raw footage and interviews. This later led to the development of 'Paranormal Investigators - The Challenge' in 2007 and the second part in 2009. The idea was to introduce a trainee investigator with no previous ghost hunting experience to a team of ghost hunters. The series aired on community stations around Australia for a number of years.
In 2011, I co-produced 'In-Spirit TV', a ten part talk show focusing on the alternative and metaphysical life styles in Australia. |
Finally, in 2012 my wife Andrea and I launched MoonLark Media. The first MoonLark project was with my daughter, Michelle, which was a documentary about the UFO phenomenon titled 'My Project UFO'. Also in 2012-2013 we reignited the Paranormal Investigators series with 'Phasmophobia'. Although it was a slight reflection of the 2007-2009 series 'The Challenge', this time we decided to introduce someone new in each episode to a team of paranormal investigators.
In March 2014 a new Paranormal Investigators series was produced, called 'In Tenebris'. The focus here was to delve into the darker aspect of the supernatural, covering some very personal and controversial stories. In 2015 we filmed a feature length documentary in Europe that combined urban exploration, travel along with classical ghost stories from Hungary and the search for elements of the supernatural in 'Desolate - Urban Exploration in Hungary'. In 2017 we completed 5 episodes of our new project 'PI (Paranormal Investigators) UnCut. This journalistic series looks into the lives of those seeking the truth behind the many aspects of the unexplained. In January 2017 post-production was finalised on the short horror film 'The House of Mary Grey', which did its rounds at film festivals and now available on YouTube. Also in 2017 MoonLark's new documentary 'Ghosts of Europe' was released |
on Amazon Prime. 'In Tenebris - Bad Lands' was also completed in 2017 but not released.
In October 2018 we launched season 2 of 'Paranormal Investigators UnCut' on Amazon Prime. In late 2018 we started production of a documentary film, titled 'The Caretaker'. Unfortunately, this production came to a grinding halt due to the sensitive nature of the story. Where one journey ends, another one begins. After 18 months of looking for the right angle, the production of 'TRACK - Search for Australia's Bigfoot' began in November 2018 and was released on 21st April 2020. The popularity of this documentary film initiated the production of a sequel, which is titled 'Tracking The Lore'. Filming began in the first half on 2020 and released in December 2022. In November 2020 I released a short comedy Sci-Fi film titled 'Explain Away'. This gave me an opportunity to test out new gear as well as experimenting with new techniques. In 2021 I compiled some behind the scenes oddities that occurred during the filming of 'Tracking the Lore'. These were outside the realm of the cryptid topic so it was fitting to include these encounters in 'The Forest at Night', now available on YouTube. In 2023 MoonLark Media began exploring some old UFO research documents and connected with Australian researchers and people of interest. With the recent happenings in the States and the very different movement in the UFO investigative scene from that of the early 2000's, it was time to revisit cases from the past, some forgotten over time. The upcoming documentary film 'Archived' will explore this and other aspects of the UFO phenomenon in Australia. The upcoming documentary film 'Archived' will explore this and other aspects of the UFO phenomenon in Australia. |
In late 2023 MoonLark Media and Believe: Paranormal and UFO Podcast initiated a joint project, a documentary film titled 'Dark Truths - Hills of Silence'. Planned to be released at the end of 2024, the documentary explores the strange happenings on a trail between the small historical mining town of Hill End and the country city of Bathurst in NSW.
