Best Evidence was shown at the Conference, in the legendary UFO landmark the Integratron in landers,California, which was pretty darn cool! In this clip I'm talking about a brief conversation at a Christmas party I had with Geoff Regan, at the time a Canadian cabinet minister, and how I used the opportunity to talk to him about real UFO evidence, a few top cases, and the history of Canadian governmental interest in UFOs, and why it stopped in the late 1960s (what I call "The Condon Effect"). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/q16zu0np8Sg"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/q16zu0np8Sg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: the last question about UFOs asked in the House of Commons was in the 1970s, not the 1960s as I mistakenly stated at Retro UFO 3.

Lovely statue!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't remember what I said in my stumbling "aw shucks" acceptance speech, other than thanking my Mom &amp;amp; Dad in particular, and ending with "God Save the Queen", which was a running joke all week between we Canucks and Brits on one side, and our southern cousins the Yankee Doodles on the other. I thanked everyone in general who worked on the film, or who helped get it made, but the list of names was too long to be specific. However, here are some I absolutely should have mentioned, and who I wish had been there to see their hard work pay off:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/R8ykYYpRI-I/AAAAAAAAAwE/dFjUinHy0Ec/s1600-h/Statue.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/R8ykYYpRI-I/AAAAAAAAAwE/dFjUinHy0Ec/s200/Statue.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5173690810781213666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Findlay Muir - DOP&lt;br /&gt;John Rosborough - Post Audio &amp;amp; Music&lt;br /&gt;Zan Rosborough - Post Audio&lt;br /&gt;Jim Kimball - Co-Producer / Production Manager&lt;br /&gt;Kris Lee McBride - Narrator&lt;br /&gt;Thor Henrickson - On-Line Editor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, of course, Linda Wood and Ann MacKenzie at Film NS, which invested in the film, Andrew Mark Sewell at B7 Media in the UK (our distributor), and Charlotte Engel at Space: The Imagination Station, which commissioned it. Can't forget Nan MacDonald and Linda Kearney at the RBC. Finally, everyone who appeared in the film, including our chief consultant Brad Sparks, as well as Stan Friedman, Nick Pope, Don Ledger, Dick Hall, Bruce Maccabee, Lt. Col. Bruce Bailey, Capt.

After the mass enthusiasm for UFOs created by fictional series like the X-Files, the resulting explosion of sensational 'documentaries', and outright hoaxes like the 'Alien Autopsy' footage, perhaps we will now start to see a more thoughtfu; and rational approach to ufology in the media. Despite including such contentious cases as Rendlesham, Kimball's film even appears to have been well received by many ufologists. Let's hope that this bodes well for the future of ufology.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Thanks to the &lt;em&gt;FT&lt;/em&gt; for the notice - one can only hope that the film is the beginning of a more thoughtful approach to the UFO phenomenon by my colleagues in the media.

Here's an excerpt:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The film's creator, one Paul Kimball, not only imbues the film with a sense of intrigue and discovery, but also provides needed hints about how the ignoring of the phenomena by mainstream society may eventually come at a price. Viewers of the film will not be tantalized by rumor and innuendo, nor will the viewer be witness to wild accusations with no accompanying proof. Instead, only the cold, hard facts are presented along with amazing computer-animated special effects.&lt;/blockquote&gt;His conclusion?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;'Best Evidence: Top 10 UFO Sightings' is not just 'perhaps', but most definitely 'is' the must see UFO documentary of the decade.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Thanks, Jason!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can read the entire review &lt;a href="http://boyinthemachine.blogspot.com/2007/07/best-evidence-review.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Kimball&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5814497014561545797-7925088653008928028?l=bestevidence.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/feeds/7925088653008928028/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5814497014561545797&amp;postID=7925088653008928028&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/7925088653008928028'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/7925088653008928028'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/2007/07/best-evidence-review-by-jason-gammon.html' title='&lt;em&gt;Best Evidence&lt;/em&gt; review by Jason Gammon'/><author><name>Paul Kimball</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08804735930733797952</uri><email>redstarfilm@aol.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06076273985591217787'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814497014561545797.post-8957462171607826984</id><published>2007-06-04T17:55:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2007-06-04T18:13:54.126-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Red Ice Radio'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Binnall of America'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paul Kimball'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tim Binnall'/><title type='text'>Kimball - Binnall Summit?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/RmR_ngGd3hI/AAAAAAAAAVw/PPuwqcVlmok/s1600-h/kimbinnall.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5072319396934704658" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/RmR_ngGd3hI/AAAAAAAAAVw/PPuwqcVlmok/s200/kimbinnall.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Is there a &lt;a href="http://www.redstarfilms.blogspot.com/"&gt;Paul Kimball&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;a href="http://www.binnallofamerica.com/"&gt;Tim Binnall&lt;/a&gt; summit looming?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would such an earth-shattering meeting between the creator of &lt;em&gt;Best Evidence&lt;/em&gt; and the self-proclaimed "America's creep" mean for ufology, and paranormal research in general?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who can say?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;But it would definitely be a hoot, that will involve lots of beer, Canada's smallest province (PEI), and lots of beer. Oh yeah - lots of talk about the weird and wacky world of the paranormal, too. And the Red Sox. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;And beer. Did I mention the beer?

DVD Update #1</title><content type='html'>I've received a lot of questions in the past two weeks asking when Best Evidence will be available on DVD. The short answer is that I don't know for sure, but I suspect that it will be early fall. At the end of the day, it's up to our distributor, &lt;a href="http://www.b7media.com/"&gt;B7 Media&lt;/a&gt;, to put a deal together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, however, I'll be keeping busy assembling and recording the bonus materials for what will be at least a 2 DVD set. What will those materials include?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Expanded interview clips from people who appear in the film, including Dick Hall, Brad Sparks, Bruce Maccabee, Don Ledger, &lt;a href="http://www.posthumanblues.blogspot.com"&gt;Mac Tonnies&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.stantonfriedman.com"&gt;Stan Friedman&lt;/a&gt;, talking about both the cases that made the top 10, and some of those that didn't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Interviews with some of the people who made the film, including yours truly, Director of Photography Findlay Muir, music composer John Rosborough, animator &lt;a href="http://www.wingit.ca"&gt;Breandan McGrath&lt;/a&gt;, and narrator &lt;a href="http://www.krisleemcbride.blogspot.com"&gt;Kris Lee McBride&lt;/a&gt;. You'll be able to hear how it all came together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Interviews from previous Redstar UFO-related films, including outtake clips of the late Karl Pflock, as well as &lt;a href="http://www.ufomystic.com"&gt;Nick Redfern&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.kevinrandle.blogspot.com"&gt;Kevin Randle&lt;/a&gt;, and others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Finally, the case that would have been ranked 10th on the list if i hadn't substituted the Nuremberg case, in a full segment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep an eye out here for updates as the summer moves along.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Kimball&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5814497014561545797-3159257921976459455?l=bestevidence.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/feeds/3159257921976459455/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5814497014561545797&amp;postID=3159257921976459455&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/3159257921976459455'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/3159257921976459455'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/2007/06/best-evidence-dvd-update-1.html' title='Best Evidence - DVD Update #1'/><author><name>Paul Kimball</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08804735930733797952</uri><email>redstarfilm@aol.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06076273985591217787'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814497014561545797.post-4911642173199704478</id><published>2007-06-02T00:16:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2007-06-02T00:38:25.130-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Condon Report'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='USAF'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Edward Condon'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Best Evidence'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dick Hall'/><title type='text'>The Condon Report - the best evidence ignored</title><content type='html'>One of the questions I got in the post screening Q &amp; A session at the Oxford Theatre on Wednesday evening related to the seeming lack of interest by science, politicians and the media in the UFO phenomenon. "Why is that the case," asked the questioner, "if theUFO phenomenon is so widespread and prevalent?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My answer is simple - everything changed with the Condon Report in the late 1960s, which was a scientific hatchet job and a USAF whitewash of the first order. I've written about what I call the "Condon Effect" before (see: &lt;a href="http://redstarfilms.blogspot.com/2005/08/condon-effect-in-canada-part-i.html"&gt;The Condon Effect in Canada&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://redstarfilms.blogspot.com/2005/08/combating-condon-effect-sturrock.html"&gt;Combatting the Condon Effect - The Sturrock Gambit&lt;/a&gt;), and how it provided a seemingly respectable cover for people who didn't really want to take a look at the UFO phenomenon - especially the evidence, which in the investigations conducted by the staff of the University of Colorado Project (i.e. the Condon group) showed a significant percentage of unexplained cases, which was completely at odds with the conclusions drawn by Condon himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dick Hall was with NICAP back during the time of the Colorado Project. When I interviewed him for &lt;em&gt;Best Evidence&lt;/em&gt;, I asked him about Condon, and his investigation. Here are some of Dick's thoughts:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-3011947415982423008&amp;hl=en-CA" flashvars=""&gt; &lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If anyone cites the Condon Report to you as proof that there's nothing to the UFO phenomenon (as was once done in the Canadian House of Commons), make sure you tell him or her that &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; haven't been fooled by the un-scientific conclusions cooked up by Condon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or, as I wrote in &lt;em&gt;The Condon Effect in Canada&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Condon Report, which was the result of a two-year “scientific” study of the UFO phenomenon commissioned by the United States Air Force (known formally as The  University of Colorado UFO Project), was released in 1968. Condon was the director. Virtually from the beginning, critics (including some of the committee’s members) charged that Condon and coordinator Robert Low were biased. When the report came out, in concluded that there were prosaic explanations for all UFO cases, and that there was no evidence to support the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis. The Air Force, the American media (in general), and the scientific community (again, in general), accepted the report as the definitive word on the subject. Project Blue Book was terminated shortly after its release. Prominent critics such as Dr. Peter Sturrock, Dr. James E. McDonald, Stanton Friedman, and Dr. J. Allen Hynek, have all correctly noted that the report’s conclusions – which were authored by Condon himself – were sharply at variance with the evidence (Condon did not investigate any of the cases himself), which showed that 30% of the cases studied were classed as “unknowns,” higher even than earlier Air Force studies. As Sturrock wrote, “This report has clouded all attempts at legitimate UFO research since its release.” Little has changed in the almost four decades since the Report was released, as governments, the media, and many in the scientific community still cite it as proof that UFOs are not worth serious study. The Condon Report represents everything that science should not be.&lt;/blockquote&gt;In short, make sure you tell the person who cites the Condon Report that unlike Dr. Condon you prefer to keep an open mind - which is what any reasonable person, when faced with a bona fide mystery or unexplained phenomenon, must do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Kimball&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5814497014561545797-4911642173199704478?l=bestevidence.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/feeds/4911642173199704478/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5814497014561545797&amp;postID=4911642173199704478&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/4911642173199704478'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/4911642173199704478'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/2007/06/condon-report-best-evidence-ignored.html' title='The Condon Report - the best evidence ignored'/><author><name>Paul Kimball</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08804735930733797952</uri><email>redstarfilm@aol.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06076273985591217787'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814497014561545797.post-4149605156904636056</id><published>2007-06-01T18:17:00.001-03:00</published><updated>2007-06-02T23:27:14.356-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Best Evidence'/><title type='text'>Best Evidence... on tour?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/RmCP2QGd3gI/AAAAAAAAAVo/L5oMiMAPLVg/s1600-h/pkspeaks.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5071211342616976898" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/RmCP2QGd3gI/AAAAAAAAAVo/L5oMiMAPLVg/s200/pkspeaks.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Someone asked me at the &lt;em&gt;Best Evidence&lt;/em&gt; screening the other night what the next step was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The next step?" I asked. "What do you mean?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Where are you taking the film from here?" he replied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the time, I didn't have much of an answer. The &lt;a href="http://www.b7media.com/"&gt;distributors&lt;/a&gt; will work to sell the film into other territories beyond Canada and New Zealand, and at some point in the future there will be a DVD available for commercial sale, with all sorts of extras (when I have the time to edit them). But until the fall at least, unless you live in Canada and New Zealand, you're out of luck if you want to see the film.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately, however, the fellow I was talking to had an idea - "why not," he asked, "take the film on the road? You could travel across North America, screening it in town after town, and then taking questions afterwards."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Hmm&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having pondered this suggestion for two days now, it strikes me as an intriguing idea, and one I'd be happy to undertake, just for the fun of it if nothing else (so long as all my expenses were covered). I would consider it an extended summer "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;ufological&lt;/span&gt;" vacation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I leave it to readers, or people they know, or perhaps some booking agent somewhere, to determine whether there would be:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a) interest in some sort of tour (judging by the response at the BE screening here, I would say "yes"); and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b) whether there's anyone out there who wants to organize it, or bring me out to your &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;MUFON&lt;/span&gt; chapter, or local group, or church hall, or whatever, for a one-off screening and chat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there is any interest, folks know where to find me. Like I said, "have suitcase, will travel". Finally, as anyone who has seen me in action will tell you, I put on a good show!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Kimball&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5814497014561545797-4149605156904636056?l=bestevidence.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/feeds/4149605156904636056/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5814497014561545797&amp;postID=4149605156904636056&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/4149605156904636056'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/4149605156904636056'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/2007/06/best-evidence-on-tour.html' title='Best Evidence... on tour?'/><author><name>Paul Kimball</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08804735930733797952</uri><email>redstarfilm@aol.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06076273985591217787'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/RmCP2QGd3gI/AAAAAAAAAVo/L5oMiMAPLVg/s72-c/pkspeaks.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814497014561545797.post-4767305410746727177</id><published>2007-05-31T23:29:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2007-05-31T23:31:03.810-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kris Lee McBride'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Best Evidence'/><title type='text'>Kris McBride at the BE premiere</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;Best Evidence&lt;/em&gt; narrator Kris McBride blogs about the premiere last night &lt;a href="http://krisleemcbride.blogspot.com/2007/05/best-evidence-my-first-big-screen.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Kimball&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5814497014561545797-4767305410746727177?l=bestevidence.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/feeds/4767305410746727177/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5814497014561545797&amp;postID=4767305410746727177&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/4767305410746727177'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/4767305410746727177'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/2007/05/kris-mcbride-at-be-premiere.html' title='Kris McBride at the BE premiere'/><author><name>Paul Kimball</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08804735930733797952</uri><email>redstarfilm@aol.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06076273985591217787'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814497014561545797.post-4528777782560509219</id><published>2007-05-31T14:47:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2007-06-01T01:21:02.541-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stuart Miller'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UFO'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UFO Review'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UFO Updates'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Best Evidence'/><title type='text'>Stuart Miller of UFO Review on Best Evidence</title><content type='html'>I sent a review copy of &lt;em&gt;Best Evidence&lt;/em&gt; to Stuart Miller, the publisher and editor of UFO Review, in the United Kingdom. Here is his "review" posted today at the UFO Updates mailing list (full post found &lt;a href="http://www.virtuallystrange.net/ufo/updates/2007/may/m31-002.shtml"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here at last is a documentary produced not only by someone who knows what he's talking about but who has also delivered a fact-driven, objective piece of work featuring people who also know what they're talking about. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Simple, clear, unsensational, to the point; an outstanding piece of work and a piece of work we can use to point others to as a perfect example of what the subject of UAPs/UFOs is all about. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well done Paul and thank you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Here is the response I sent to UFO Updates:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Stuart:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not really "Paul Kimball's Best Evidence" - it's Brad Sparks', Dick Hall's, and Stan Friedman's, and Kevin Randle's, and Bruce Maccabee's, and Nick Redfern's, and Nick Pope's, and Mac Tonnies', and Don Ledger's, and... well, you get the picture. They're the ones who, with one exception (#10, the 1561 Nuremberg case) picked the cases. I was just one voice among many in that regard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further, when it came to the actual making of the film, again, I'm just the quarterback. Kudos to the rest of the team - folks like John Rosborough (post audio and music), Zan Rosborough (post audio), Findlay Muir (DOP), Jim Kimball (co-producer), Christine Boss (production coordinator), Brian Howald and Breandan McGrath (head animators), Thor Henrickson (on-line editor), and of course the good folks at Space who commissioned the film (especially Charlotte Engel), the NSFDC who provided much of the financing (especially Ann MacKenzie and Linda Wood), and B7 Media in the UK who are distributing the film (especially Andrew Mark Sewell). Finally, super kudos to actress Kris Lee McBride, who narrated the film and gave it a unique "voice" - i.e. young and female. You don't hear that in many docs, alas - especially UFO-related docs. My mom loved it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end, of course, there are the people to whom the film truly belongs - the witnesses, including the three who appear in the film, Lieutenant Colonel Bruce Bailey (RB47), Colonel Charles Halt (Rendlesham), and Captain Robert Salas (Malmstrom).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of all of the above, my friend - thank you.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Paul Kimball&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5814497014561545797-4528777782560509219?l=bestevidence.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/feeds/4528777782560509219/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5814497014561545797&amp;postID=4528777782560509219&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/4528777782560509219'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/4528777782560509219'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/2007/05/stuart-miller-of-ufo-review-on-best.html' title='Stuart Miller of UFO Review on Best Evidence'/><author><name>Paul Kimball</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08804735930733797952</uri><email>redstarfilm@aol.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06076273985591217787'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814497014561545797.post-8503025046466961187</id><published>2007-05-31T00:10:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2007-05-31T14:56:48.730-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stan Friedman'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UFO'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kris Lee McBride'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Oxford Theatre'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Best Evidence'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Forrest Ackerman'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mike MacDonald'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NSFDC'/><title type='text'>Best Evidence - Big Screen Premiere</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/Rl5ABQGd3dI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/YbJPWXj1tLA/s1600-h/Oxford+Marquee.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070560620711894482" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/Rl5ABQGd3dI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/YbJPWXj1tLA/s200/Oxford+Marquee.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;One hundred and eleven &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Haligonians&lt;/span&gt;, according to the official count by the Oxford Theatre staff, came out this evening to catch the screening of &lt;em&gt;Best Evidence&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Famous Monster&lt;/em&gt; at the historic Oxford, the last remaining non-big box, "cookie cutter" cinema in Halifax. That's roughly twice what the &lt;a href="http://www.film.ns.ca/"&gt;Nova &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Scotia&lt;/span&gt; Film Development Corporation&lt;/a&gt; usually gets to these free screenings of local films. As was clear from the post-screening Q &amp; A, as well as the number of calls fielded earlier in the day, most were there to see "the UFO film", which was certainly gratifying. They also saw a really good biopic of sci-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;fi&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;uber&lt;/span&gt;-fan Forrest &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Ackerman&lt;/span&gt; by Mike MacDonald, which I think is going to do very well for him in the long run.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/Rl499gGd3aI/AAAAAAAAAU4/p6b_zJ5jMtc/s1600-h/Paul+Stan+Oxford.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/Rl5QMQGd3eI/AAAAAAAAAVY/NS7zjG2WNoA/s1600-h/Paul+Stan+Oxford2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070578401876499938" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/Rl5QMQGd3eI/AAAAAAAAAVY/NS7zjG2WNoA/s200/Paul+Stan+Oxford2.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Stan Friedman was on hand as a special guest - he showed up at 6 pm sharp to set up his table in the lobby, and it was clear when people started to wander in at about 6:20 pm that a number of them had come to see him as well as the films. There was a steady stream of people who wanted to talk to him, shake his hand, buy a book or DVD (or two or three). As always, Stan was gracious with each and every one of them. Agree with him or disagree with him on cases, or the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;ETH&lt;/span&gt;, or the UFO phenomenon in general, but I don't think one can dispute that Stan puts on a good show, or that he's a heck of a nice guy, and he has a large base of devoted (and hard-earned) fans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/Rl4_eAGd3cI/AAAAAAAAAVI/-52hid7Gyp0/s1600-h/Kris+Oxford.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070560015121505730" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/Rl4_eAGd3cI/AAAAAAAAAVI/-52hid7Gyp0/s200/Kris+Oxford.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Also on hand were some of Halifax's brightest young cultural industry professionals, including filmmakers &lt;a href="http://www.rpmproductions.tv/"&gt;John &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Rosborough&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.thecoast.ca/permalink.lasso?ei150428.113118Having_a_blast"&gt;Jason &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Eisener&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, my brother Jim (who co-produced the film), ace theatre critic Ron Foley MacDonald, actress &lt;a href="http://www.krisleemcbride.blogspot.com/"&gt;Kris Lee McBride&lt;/a&gt; (that's her in the photo at left), who narrated &lt;em&gt;Best Evidence&lt;/em&gt; (and saw the film for the first time this evening), and local theatre impressario David Connellan. Incidentally, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Eisener&lt;/span&gt; achieved fame recently as the winner of the Quentin &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Tarantino&lt;/span&gt; / Robert Rodriguez sponsored "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Grindhouse&lt;/span&gt; trailer" competition at South by Southwest, for his trailer &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/p.swf?video_id=1LlazPgxKrA&amp;eurl=http%3A//aolsearch.aol.ca/web%3Fquery%3Dhobo%2520with%2520a%2520shotgun&amp;amp;iurl=http%3A//img.youtube.com/vi/1LlazPgxKrA/2.jpg&amp;t=OEgsToPDskJgFw-58UHV0SA_KL6-2NLW"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hobo With a Shotgun&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Apparently, Jason is a UFO &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;aficionado&lt;/span&gt; as well as a up-and-coming young filmmaker. Also present was &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;NSFDC&lt;/span&gt; CEO Ann &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;MacKenzie&lt;/span&gt;, just back from Cannes, as well as Program &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;Adminstrator&lt;/span&gt; Linda Wood (my fiance) and Abbi &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;Hennigar&lt;/span&gt;, who organized the screening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A great time was had by all, and there were still at least a half dozen questions waiting to be asked when we finally had to wrap up the Q &amp;amp; A at 9:00 pm because the crowd for the 9:30 screening of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;regular&lt;/span&gt; movie was starting to arrive. I had a chance to chat with some folks in the lobby afterwards, as did Stan, and we probably could have gone into the wee hours of the morning talking about UFOs and the film. There was a great deal of interest in the film, and in the UFO phenomenon in general, which for me was really gratifying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to everyone who showed up and made the evening a big success, and super kudos to the NSFDC for programming &lt;em&gt;Best Evidence &lt;/em&gt;this time out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Kimball&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5814497014561545797-8503025046466961187?l=bestevidence.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/feeds/8503025046466961187/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5814497014561545797&amp;postID=8503025046466961187&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/8503025046466961187'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/8503025046466961187'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/2007/05/best-evidence-big-screen-premiere.html' title='Best Evidence - Big Screen Premiere'/><author><name>Paul Kimball</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08804735930733797952</uri><email>redstarfilm@aol.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06076273985591217787'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/Rl5ABQGd3dI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/YbJPWXj1tLA/s72-c/Oxford+Marquee.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814497014561545797.post-1660298535111388298</id><published>2007-05-30T16:09:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2007-05-30T16:23:05.116-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kris Lee McBride'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Oxford Theatre'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Best Evidence'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stanton Friedman'/><title type='text'>Best Evidence on the Big Screen</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/Rl3N-AGd3ZI/AAAAAAAAAUw/z1VPgJP1IOU/s1600-h/poster+2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070435220551753106" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/Rl3N-AGd3ZI/AAAAAAAAAUw/z1VPgJP1IOU/s200/poster+2.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;Best Evidence&lt;/em&gt; makes its way to the big screen tonight at Halifax's historic Oxford Theatre, for a one night only double bill with Mike MacDonald's new documentary &lt;em&gt;Famous Monster&lt;/em&gt;. The screening is sponsored by the Nova Scotia Film Development Corporation, which invested in both films, and without which none of us in this province could do what we do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I'm going to admit to a little secret here - no matter how many times I've seen my name, or a film's title, or one of my bands' names, up on a marquee, I still get a bit of a rush. It's fun, and in a way it makes it all seem worthwhile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonight, some of the best in the the film biz in Halifax will be there to see a film about UFOs - actors, producers, directors, government types, as well as friends and family and anyone else who pops in (it's a free screening, so if you're in town, come on down). Kris McBride will be there, for what will be her first time on the big screen, but not her last I'm sure. Stan Friedman is in town as a special guest - he'll be answeing questions with Mike and I after the screening. My folks are coming. My fiance (who is one of the good folks at the NSFDC). And so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short, tonight is going to be a good night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unless the projector breaks down... ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll post pics and a synopsis in the days to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Kimball&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5814497014561545797-1660298535111388298?l=bestevidence.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/feeds/1660298535111388298/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5814497014561545797&amp;postID=1660298535111388298&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/1660298535111388298'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/1660298535111388298'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/2007/05/best-evidence-on-big-screen.html' title='Best Evidence on the Big Screen'/><author><name>Paul Kimball</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08804735930733797952</uri><email>redstarfilm@aol.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06076273985591217787'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/Rl3N-AGd3ZI/AAAAAAAAAUw/z1VPgJP1IOU/s72-c/poster+2.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814497014561545797.post-1569920304579825962</id><published>2007-05-28T17:28:00.001-03:00</published><updated>2007-05-28T17:39:39.351-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Best Evidence'/><title type='text'>Best Evidence - the next 10?</title><content type='html'>A lot of people who have seen &lt;em&gt;Best Evidence&lt;/em&gt; want me to make a sequel... sort of a "Best Evidence II: The Next Ten". I don't think that's going to happen, for a lot of reasons, but the question of which other cases polled highly, i.e. just missed being in the top ten, is an interesting one, and helps illustrate the depth of quality sightings. I'm working on an article for The Anomalist these days that will discuss some of these cases in greater detail, but here's a few that were close to making the final cut of the film, and which all deserve a close look by anyone who thinks there's nothing to the UFO phenomenon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vins-sur-caramy, France (1957)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minot AFB, United States (1968) - well profiled in the ABC special &lt;em&gt;Seeing is Believing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Socorro, United States (1964)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JAL 1628, over Alaska (1986)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stephen Michalak sighting, Canada (1967)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Washington "flap", United States (1952)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Gill sighting, New Guinea (1959)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trindade, Brazil (1958)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Belgian "flap", Belgium (1989)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's just the tip of the iceberg. As I've said in radio interviews, over seventy cases received votes in my poll of UFO researchers, and the vast majority of them are good, solid cases that have yet to be convincingly explained by the people who would like you to believe that the UFO phenomenon is just a lot of smoke and mirrors and misidentifications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Kimball&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5814497014561545797-1569920304579825962?l=bestevidence.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/feeds/1569920304579825962/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5814497014561545797&amp;postID=1569920304579825962&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/1569920304579825962'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/1569920304579825962'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/2007/05/best-evidence-next-10.html' title='Best Evidence - the next 10?'/><author><name>Paul Kimball</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08804735930733797952</uri><email>redstarfilm@aol.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06076273985591217787'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814497014561545797.post-7061640956340552285</id><published>2007-05-28T16:02:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2007-05-28T16:06:38.715-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kris Lee McBride'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mac Tonnies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='&quot;Doing Time&quot;'/><title type='text'>Kris Lee McBride's new blog</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/RlsoCAGd3XI/AAAAAAAAAUg/WNDHPMpvslw/s1600-h/KLM+header2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5069689820387597682" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/RlsoCAGd3XI/AAAAAAAAAUg/WNDHPMpvslw/s200/KLM+header2.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;Best Evidence&lt;/em&gt; narrator Kris Lee McBride has a new blog, which you can find &lt;a href="http://www.krisleemcbride.blogspot.com/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.

It was sold out (they turned people away at the door), and the cast got a well-deserved standing ovation at the end. Kris was super - I'm proud to say that I was the first person to cast her in Halifax (&lt;em&gt;Marat&lt;/em&gt;). My friends Gillian Ferrier and Veronica Reynolds were great as well, as were the other two actresses, Lynn Reicker and Stephanie MacDonald.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kudos to the whole cast, and the folks at Taboo Theatre, for staging a challenging and thought-provoking production.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Kimball&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5814497014561545797-8808280045402935777?l=bestevidence.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/feeds/8808280045402935777/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5814497014561545797&amp;postID=8808280045402935777&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/8808280045402935777'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/8808280045402935777'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/2007/05/be-narrator-kris-lee-mcbride-finishes.html' title='BE Narrator Kris Lee McBride finishes run with acclaimed production of The Whores'/><author><name>Paul Kimball</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08804735930733797952</uri><email>redstarfilm@aol.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06076273985591217787'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/RlYIygGd3UI/AAAAAAAAAUI/gm0dnKt2q_o/s72-c/kris+whores.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814497014561545797.post-5204708609543106412</id><published>2007-05-20T18:17:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2007-05-20T18:24:42.986-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Famous Monster'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nova Scotia Film Development Corporation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Best Evidence'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mike MacDonald'/><title type='text'>Best Evidence screening in Halifax</title><content type='html'>The &lt;a href="http://www.film.ns.ca/"&gt;Nova Scotia Film Development Corporation&lt;/a&gt; is sponsoring a screening of &lt;em&gt;Best Evidence&lt;/em&gt;, along with Mike MacDonald's latest documentary, &lt;em&gt;Famous Monster&lt;/em&gt;, about sci-fi legend Forrest J.

Here's his bio:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Andrew Mark Sewell&lt;/strong&gt; , former Creative Director at BBC Worldwide, was a key architect in defining the editorial and commercial strategy for exploiting BBC interactive content globally. A Writer, Producer and Executive Producer on a range of cross-media projects, including the UKTV simulcast event &lt;em&gt;Haunted&lt;/em&gt; (short-listed for the Montreux e-Rose ), &lt;em&gt;Dig Egypt&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;The Old Grey Whistle Test &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;Tomorrow's World+&lt;/em&gt;. Other credits include documentaries Echoes of the Past ( UK History ), &lt;em&gt;Barcelona Burnout &lt;/em&gt;( Men and Motors ) and &lt;em&gt;Secrets of the Paranormal&lt;/em&gt;. Most recently he was the UK producer of critically acclaimed feature &lt;em&gt;Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont &lt;/em&gt;staring Joan Plowright, Anna Massey, Robert Lang, Rupert Friend and Zoe Tapper.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/Rkzf_AGd3SI/AAAAAAAAAT4/Lt575ANGSvY/s1600-h/800_600_rebel.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5065669954336840994" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/Rkzf_AGd3SI/AAAAAAAAAT4/Lt575ANGSvY/s200/800_600_rebel.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Why "B7" as a name, you might ask? Simple. They have the rights to the classic sci-fi series &lt;em&gt;Blake's 7&lt;/em&gt;, and are resurrecting it as a series of radio dramas for Sci-Fi UK, with an eye to an eventual re-launch of the series, updated for the 21st century, a la &lt;em&gt;Battlestar Galactica&lt;/em&gt;. As a big fan of Blake's 7 as a kid, I'm thrilled to be separated from the new series by one degree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can listen in to the radio dramas &lt;a href="http://scifi.co.uk/blakes7/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. It's great stuff, and deserves to make the leap to the small screen as soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm proud that &lt;em&gt;Best Evidence&lt;/em&gt; is a small part of the B7 universe, and look forward to working with them again in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Kimball&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5814497014561545797-6576620669466588871?l=bestevidence.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/feeds/6576620669466588871/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5814497014561545797&amp;postID=6576620669466588871&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/6576620669466588871'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5814497014561545797/posts/default/6576620669466588871'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bestevidence.blogspot.com/2007/05/behind-scenes-b7-media.html' title='BEhind the Scenes - B7 Media'/><author><name>Paul Kimball</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08804735930733797952</uri><email>redstarfilm@aol.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06076273985591217787'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_guqqzl4M-24/RkzeZAGd3RI/AAAAAAAAATw/bNqPCD05bZo/s72-c/B7Media_Treatment_White2.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
