I have been introduced to the world of photography and documentary film making by my dad when I was 7 years old. At the same time I became interested in forbidden and forgotten history and the mysteries of the world. I moved to Occitania, France where I became a tour guide and stumbled upon some incredible secrets. Inspired by this, I wrote my first book, called "The Forbidden Relic" (a.k.a. "White Lie") under the pen name of "Jeanne D'Aout", my ancestral name. The novel has now been read by thousands of people world wide and I am now hoping to turn it into a fast moving adventure film with a deep message, while at the same time revealing some historical details that have long been forgotten.
In 2020, I finished my time-travel-trilogy, which include "The Eye of Ra" (2nd book) and "The Ringing Rocks of Atlantis" (3rd book). They are, however, stand-alones, and can be read separately).
I am looking for opportunities to create documentaries, shorts, mini TV series, or better still, starting up a movie project based on my trilogy.
My TV appearances are: "Himmler and the Holy Grail" for Skye Channel (from 2012/13 with many years of reruns) and "Lost Relics of the Knights Templar" for History Channel (premiered on Easter Monday 2020). My demo reel is on IMDb.
Unique traits: Ground fixer, talking head, presenter, producer, director
