It is me, in a film with some other old geezers.

Roll up and grab your pop corn.

On the 2-4-08, I went to London to take part in a film about alien abduction, there were to be two versions of the film, one about 3 minutes long and the other about 15 minutes long. In the link below you can see the short version of the film, the 15 minute version has still to be given a release date. Nick Pope took part in the filming but he did not make the final cut of the short version of the film. When I went down to London I shot about an hour of film, at first I was very nervous and stuttered a lot but after about 20 minutes I relaxed and played a better part as an interviewee. I covered several of my alien encounters and this would be more evident on the 15 minute version of the film. To sum up, I had initially done the film to get help with regression hypnosis and body scans but the director, William Bloomfield, could not help me with these but despite this I had a good day out, it was fun doing the filming and I was given a free cheese and ham sandwich!

Hi Phil, just took a look, fascinating (and bizzare) stuff. You didn't come across as awkward at all. In fact all thre of you came across well, certainly not a stereotypical credulous loon, as some would try to have it, rather normal people grappling with wierd and unexplainable encounters.

Did you say there was a longer piece of film on this?

Yes there is some more film, a lot more in fact. Each of the abductees and guest speakers shot the film independently of one another as far as I am aware, I shot about an hour's worth of film and I am sure the other people could well have filmed similar lengths of film. Professor Chris French and Nick Pope were just two of the guest speakers that the director, William Bloomfield, had attracted. After filming William Bloomfield accompanied me on the London underground tube trains on my journey to the bus station where I would catch a bus home to Cambridge. We talked about the film and the many problems abductees face with regards to being believed, including the problems raised by considering if an abductee has any mental health problems, I had suggested that William could explore this angle about mental health by using me as an example, I have seen psychiatrists voluntarily to assertain if I had any mental problems which might be made worse by having regression hypnosis. As I have mentioned William has a lot of film footage, I am sure that he could make a reasonable film of an hour's length or more, yet as William and I shook hands to say goodbye in London, he was only considering making a further version of the film with a running time of about 15 minutes, the released date and eventual audiance of the film, were things still to be decided by William. Of the few recent emails that I have received from William, he seems to have lost interest in the film, I believe that he is busy with other things in his life as a college student.

I finally got the chance to watch this film - nicely done. Phil, I have to admit, you don't look like I thought you would - not bad, mind you - just different. I think you came off as a bit reserved, which is what I would expect considering how many years you've been living with this.

It doesn't surprise me that the film's producer is moving on. After all, his passion is film, not UFOs or abduction. He's thinking of his next project. You may, however, want to keep after him to release the 15 minute version of the film on youtube.

It would be good if William would make a longer film, Karin Hoppe Holloway has contacted him recently to say how much she enjoyed the film, perhaps Karin can renew his interest in the film project.

Here's an idea -- if you have an e-mail for this guy, perhaps you could share it with us and we can send e-mails congratulating him on his short work and encouraging him to release a longer version.
