On July 2, the character-based feature film project, Majic Men, will be publicly recognized at the International UFO Museum in Roswell, New Mexico. That's where the "Majic Men" -- two authors who once fiercely competed to break the Roswell story -- will appear on-stage together with Bryce Zabel and his producing partner, Don Most. Majic Men sees Roswell through the eyes of nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman (Top Secret/Majic) and postal clerk Donald Schmitt (Witness to Roswell) in the 1980s and 90s as they raced to get the information to the public.
 

                           

 

 

BRYCE ZABEL has created five network series, notably in regard to this project, the NBC UFO series "Dark Skies" (1995-1997).  He also wrote and produced the Sci-Fi Channel's first original film,  "Official Denial," specifically about Majestic-12.  Because of his expertise in the field, he worked on the development team for the Spielberg-produced abduction miniseries "Taken."  Currently, Bryce is co-authoring "A.D. After Disclosure" with UFO historian Richard Dolan for a September 23 publish date.  In 2008, Bryce received the WGA award for "Outstanding Longform Original" for his prescient Hallmark mini-series, "Pandemic." As a writer/producer, he contributed the flying saucer origin of Superman to the ABC series, "Lois & Clark." Bryce has written multiple features for studios that include Warner Bros., Fox, New Line and Disney; his two produced films are "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" and "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation."  He served as the elected chairman/CEO of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.  A former award-winning investigative reporter and on-air CNN correspondent, Bryce will write the screenplay for Majic Men.


 
DON MOST is probably best known for his co-starring role as Ralph in the long-running TV series "Happy Days" where he worked with such emerging talents as Ron Howard and Garry Marshall. Don continues to act, having appeared in numerous television series and features, including his portrayal of Timothy Leary on the UFO series "Dark Skies," and recently in "The Great Buck Howard" with John Malkovich.  He made his feature directing debut on the independent film, "The Last Best Sunday," winner at the Telluride IndieFest.  His latest film "Moola" earned Don the "Outstanding Achievement in Directing" award at the Newport Beach Film Festival, and was recently seen on Showtime.  He is a long-standing advocate of research into UFO reality who is currently developing "First on Scene," a documentary special about firefighters and UFOs.  As a producer, Don will work with Bryce on developing the story and screenplay of Majic Men.

 

 

                     

 

Stanton T. Friedman
 
Stanton Friedman is a nuclear physicist who started writing about UFOs in the 1950s and has stubbornly refused to quit, making him the veteran researcher actively working in the field of Unidentified Flying Objects today.  His imprint is huge, having been the researcher who (in 1978) spoke on-the-record with the first military man to break ranks with the secrecy surrounding the event, Jesse Marcel.  Friedman then served as the primary investigator for the first ground-breaking book on the subject.  Even as Roswell has gained acceptance with UFO researchers and the public alike, Friedman shifted to authenticating a collection of top-secret documents which were leaked in the mid-1980s.  They tell the story, not only of Roswell, but of the high-level government response and the secrecy that went with it.
 
Donald R. Schmitt
As a postal worker, Donald R. Schmitt is an employee of the U.S. government who has devoted an inordinate amount of his life energy to proving that the government he works for is run by liars who know the biggest secret ever but want to keep it for themselves.  His research became the foundation of the 1994 Showtime film, "Roswell, but has continued every year since, breaking new ground, finding new witnesses, and pushing the incident further from the "alleged" column and into the "fact" column.  It's his life mission to make certain that the men and women who knew the truth about Roswell and feared to tell it for the majority of their lives can now finally be heard.
