NEWS: Our film SPACEWOMAN - about Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot & command an American spacecraft - is a New York Times Critics' Pick! Opens March 20 at the QUAD cinema in NYC, and then select theaters across the USA, with Q+As. Tickets & Info @ spacewoman.film

Friends, I will be in NYC next week for the opening of Robert Stone's marvellous STARMAN movie about the remarkable Gentry Lee. I have a vested interest as one of the producers (with Ray Rothrock), but I LOVE this film - inspiring, moving, at times luminously beautiful. At its heart is the great age of Solar System exploration, a triumph of the best of the human and American spirit. The image shows the details of the US tour and you can book via our STARMAN website starmanmovie.com @ObscuredPics

Trailer for STARMAN has dropped! It stars Gentry Lee, a pioneer of deep space exploration, who wrote SF with Arthur C Clarke, & co-produced COSMOS with Carl Sagan. In US theaters from Feb 6. Directed by Robert Stone. Produced by Ray Rothock and Keith Haviland. More info soon.

Sad news. Jerry Bostick, one of the greats of Apollo-era Mission Control has passed away. He was enormously helpful to our Mission Control film. A warm and generous soul and a great American. Love and blessings to his family and friends.

If you are in the UK, our new Apollo 1 documentary is now available on the Channel 4 website at channel4.com/progra.../apol…. "This gripping documentary tells the tragic story of the trio of American astronauts who might have gone down in history as the first humans to walk on the moon but, instead, lost their lives during an ill-fated launch rehearsal in 1967. How did the accident happen, and what effect did these events have on later generations of space explorers? " - Guardian

Our new film APOLLO 1 is on the UK's @Channel4 TOMORROW - 7th December at 9:30pm. "If you enjoyed BBC2’s Once upon a Time in Space (still on iPlayer), this one-off doc is along similar lines and equally good. It charts an earlier part of the history of space flight, focusing on the ill-starred Apollo 1 mission — a key stepping stone in Nasa’s race to put men on the Moon." - David Butcher, Radio Times

Pleased to announce that our new APOLLO 1 film, directed by old friend Mark Craig and produced by myself and Ansgar Pohle will be coming to CHANNEL 4 in the UK on 7th December. Intensely moving and powerful.

NEWS: SPACEWOMAN hits the UK big screen from 21st October with very special guests. Each screening will be followed by an IN-PERSON Q&A with astronaut Eileen Collins & director Hannah Berryman. Find out more at: picturehouses.com Hope to see you there!!

The fact that this has become so routine is a miracle of vision, focus and engineering genius.

60 years ago today, NASA launched Gemini 4, and Ed White conducted the first American spacewalk, inspiring a generation. Ed White and Jim McDivitt would orbit the Earth for a total of 97 hours - more than every prior crewed NASA mission combined.

May 22, 1997 28 years ago, Eileen Collins departed the MIR space station as pilot of STS-84. She'd be home in two days. "The Sun was rising over the Atlantic Ocean. It was totally clear. We could see all the way down to Florida, where my family was waiting for me."

Nice interview with SPACEWOMAN's director Hannah Berryman in VARIETY! variety.com/2025/film/news…

We are delighted that SPACEWOMAN will have its very first EUROPEAN screening at the CPH DOX festival in Copenhagen on 22nd March, with director Hannah Berryman & producer Natasha Dack Ojumu in attendance. Additional screenings on 24 & 27 March. More info@ cphdox.dk/film/spacewoma…

To those from India, and those that love India, Happy Holi 2025, wherever you are

This quite the video - a real feeling of landing on an alien world and marking a page in space history.

⭐️⭐️NEWS⭐️⭐️ Mark Craig's remarkable new film APOLLO 1 premieres at the Boulder International Film Festival in March. Mark directed the much loved @LastManOnMoon & this new film grew out of the connections he made then. Haviland Digital is proud to be involved

The main objective of STS-63 - Eileen Collin's first mission - was to rendezvous with Russia's MIR station. The closest approach - within just 11 metres - took place Feb 6 1995. Here is a fabulous image of Valeriy Polyakov looking out of Mir’s window during the rendezvous.

February 3rd, 1995: STS-63 launches and Eileen Collins becomes the first woman to pilot a space shuttle.

Our film STARMAN will premiere at SXSW: "Are we alone? Legendary NASA engineer and best-selling science fiction author, Gentry Lee, has explored every aspect of this question in the realms of space science, robotic exploration and the human imagination. "

We launched SPACEWOMAN at @DOCNYCfest and the premiere was both sold-out & enormous fun. Here are our star & our director talking about the film on GoodDay New York. @fox5ny #gdny
