BIO: Terri Randall studied painting and fine art photography in college, and it was her love of imagery that led her into filmmaking. She began by working as a researcher, finding photos and archival footage for historical documentaries. From researcher, to associate producer, to writer/producer she’s works in every phase of production. In the early days of her career, there weren’t many opportunities for female directors, so Terri created her own. She directed and narrated her 1998 independent documentary short Daughter of the Bride which was nominated for an Academy Award and aired on HBO. Another of her personal films, To Know Where They Are, tells the story of her trip to Poland with her father to uncover what happened to their family during the Holocaust. Funded by the Anti-Defamation League, it’s been used in schools across the country to teach students about the Holocaust.
Since 2008, Terri has directed more than a dozen documentaries for PBS’s NOVA series. Her 2022 documentary Ultimate Space Telescope, about the James Webb Space Telescope, was nominated for a News & Documentary Emmy.
Terri has also directed several short dramatic films for the History Channel, many of which are now permanently displayed at historical sites like George Washington’s Mount Vernon and Independence Hall in Philadelphia. These films follow the same approach she uses in her documentaries: letting compelling storytellers tell their own stories. One example is George and Martha Washington: A 40-Year Romance, which is based on Martha Washington’s letters to George, with Glenn Close as the voice of Martha Washington.
Join us for an in-depth conversation with acclaimed filmmaker James Fox as he delves into his latest groundbreaking film, The Program. This timely documentary explores the ever-growing conversation surrounding UAPs/UFOs and their implications, particularly as Capitol Hill intensifies its focus on these phenomena.
From the very beginning of the flying saucer/UFO mystery, Joseph Allen Hynek played a huge role as an investigator. According to him in his 1972 book, The UFO Experience, in 1947 he was asked to be a scientific consultant for the Air Force’s investigation program (which was then called Project Sign) based at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. He explains he was “then director of Ohio State University’s McMillan Observatory and, as such, the closest professional astronomer at hand.” He remained a scientific consultant for what operated as Project Sign, Project Grudge, and then Project Blue Book as of 1952, up until its termination in 1969. He went on with his own investigations, formed the Center for UFO Studies in 1973, and continued as its director until his death in 1986. In his almost 40 years of involvement with the mystery, Hynek’s beliefs and public stance evolved quite a bit. 
Join us for an exclusive interview with filmmaker Dean Alioto as he takes us behind the scenes of his latest documentary, The Alien Perspective. In this thought-provoking film, Alioto explores humanity’s fascination with extraterrestrial life, blending historical accounts, expert insights, and cinematic storytelling to uncover the mysteries of the cosmos. Discover the inspiration behind the documentary, the challenges of capturing stories from eyewitnesses, and what Alioto believes the future holds for our understanding of UFO phenomena. Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or somewhere in between, this conversation promises to leave you questioning what’s truly out there.
