Enigma of the Dead Sea Scrolls
Enigma - the first full-length TV documentary I wrote - was described by the late Scroll scholar, Prof. Philip Davis, as the best presentation he'd seen of their discovery, content, and the controversy that raged around them.
The image quality is dated but the storytelling still works.
The Dead Sea Scrolls
Th​e Israel Antiquities Authority made this movie to accompany the Israel Museum's global traveling DSS exhibition.
CRUSADES - Terry Jones (Monty Python)
I produced 13 days of filming with the late, great Terry Jones for this 4-part BBC classic, including a reconstruction drama of the siege of Jerusalem.
Jesus - the Rise to Power
This 4-part National Geographic series was presented by Prof. Michael Scott and produced by the UK's Parthenon Entertainment.
Flight of Faith - the Jesus Story
Produced for UK's ITV, this movie tells the story of Jesus followed from the skies. Director Laurence Vulliamy wrote: "you are generous beyond measure with your intimate love and knowledge of Israel". I hope Heavenly Fire does the same.
THE BIRTH OF CHRIST - MYSTERY FILES II
Best History Series, New York Film Festival.
I produced two episodes of Parthenon's award--winning series for National Geographic: this one and Saladin.
The Secret Family of Jesus
Presented by Dr. Robert Beckford, this major Channel 4 special documentary was broadcast on Christmas Day in the UK.
In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great
I produced the filming in Israel of this classic BBC series by Michael Wood. I even appear for a brief moment trying to persuade the Israeli army there's nothing political about their filming, as they crossed the border into Gaza.
Daily Life In the Times of Jesus
I wrote, directed & produced this 90-minute home movie. Commissioned for Evangelical Christians, it was filmed entirely in Galilee & Jerusalem and is full of dramatic reconstruction of what life was like 2000 years ago.
