Craig Campobasso Best Selling Author and Award Film Maker
Craig Campobasso's journey in entertainment began at the remarkably young age of fifteen, laying the foundation for his evolution into a multiple award-winning filmmaker and Emmy-nominated casting director. His work has since expanded into authorship and documentary filmmaking, with a particular focus on extraterrestrial phenomena and UFO research.
His literary contributions include the bestseller "The Extraterrestrial Species Almanac: The Ultimate Guide to Greys, Reptilians, Hybrids, and Nordics," published by Red-Wheel Wiser under their MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) imprint. Campobasso later adapted this work into a documentary, which he wrote, produced, and directed. He followed this success with "The UFO Hotspot Compendium: All the Places To Visit Before You Die or Are Abducted," also published under the MUFON banner. Additionally, he authored a fully illustrated four-part series, "The Autobiography of an ExtraTerrestrial."
A significant milestone in Campobasso's filmmaking career was his short film "Stranger at the Pentagon," adapted from Dr. Frank E. Stranges' acclaimed UFO book. The film garnered notable recognition, winning Best Sci-Fi Film at the 2014 Burbank International Film Festival—where it achieved the festival's first-ever sellout of 275 seats—and securing a Remi Award for Best Sci-Fi Short at the 2015 Worldfest Houston International Film Festival. Campobasso is currently developing this project into a feature film.
His expertise has made him a sought-after guest on prominent paranormal and supernatural-themed programs. He has appeared on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, Fade to Black with Jimmy Church, and Open Minds with Regina Meredith. His television appearances include Beyond Belief on Gaia.com, multiple episodes of The History Channel's Ancient Aliens alongside main Ancient Astronaut theorist Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, Gaia TV's Deep Space, and the 2022 season of Travel Channel's UFO Witness.
