Works in Progress: Budd Hopkins Biography

We’ve got a few projects in progress at String Theory Films, including a biography documentary about the artist and UFO researcher Budd Hopkins.

This project was put on hold when Ariel Phenomenon was presented to Nickerson as a project, and awaits funding for completion.
