Jose Escamilla (March 25, 1951 – December 12, 2018)[1] was born “Jose” Jesus Garza Escamilla. He was an American Song Composer, Singer, Actor, Writer, Director, Producer, and Editor. He is best known as the founder and owner of TBLN Film Company.[2]
Early Life
[edit]Jose Escamilla was born in Roswell, New Mexico in 1951. He is a graduate of Roswell High School, New Mexico. He moved to Los Angeles, CA in 1977.
He started his filming career as a background actor and evolved into a documentarian, film producer and director.
Career
[edit]In 1985, Jose Escamilla composed and sang the title song, "One Minutes of Peace" in a concert of the same name to honor Samantha Smith, an American peace activist, at the Hollywood Bowl. The event was televised live in the United States, the United Kingdom, and in Russia.[3]
In 1994, Jose branched out into the study of cryptozoology when he was on location to film a segment for a new ufology documentary. He states that in the High-speed camera he used in the filming captured something out of the ordinary. He called them "Sky Fish", also known as "RODs". Flying Rods: Elusive Sky Phenomena is one of his know works with the Discovery Channel of the UK.[4]
With the viewing success of his first two documentaries, Mr. Escamilla started his first production company, Jose Escamilla Media Works, later to become TBNL Films. He is the producer of ten films and directed seven of them. He also has many filming credits as an writer, editor, and in the music department.[5]
Because of Mr. Escamilla growing popularity, he was invited to appeared on various radio and television shows, including Coast to Coast AM[6][7] and MSNBC.[8] From December 17, 1996 to January 12, 2006 - Coast to Coast AM host's Art Bell and later George Noory, had many interviewed with Jose discussing his findings.[9][10]
In 2007, Iowa State University's engineer students built and tested "flying rod" models and was documented on The History Channel's MonsterQuest.[11] In a segment of the film, students made two models of the ROD, one with flimsy wings and the other with stiff wings. The flimsy winged model shows little aerodynamic qualities, but the stiffer wing model did show it was flyable. In another segment, Professor Robin Wootton, biologist at University of Exeter in the United Kingdom,[12] demonstrated with his own ROD model the possibility of prehistoric bugs could look and have the same flight characteristics shown in the original Escamilla film. He stated that the items filmed were not flying but were projectiles. In the ending segment, two cameras (one regular, the other high speed) were used to question the RODs theory.[13]
Due to the nature of the MonsterQuest findings and after a public ridicure by Joe Rogan on July 6, 2013 during a Q&A at a UFC Fan Exposition, Mr. Escamilla suffered from "Verbal attacks and my business have been greatly affected". To help in his defense, he published a counter film called, Jose Escamilla vs Monster Quest. [14] It was viewed over twenty-one thousand times with the support of his eleven thousand subscribers.
With the help of all his friends like Doctor Roger Leir, UFO researcher Ed Grimsley [15], fellow directors, producers, and the paranormal - ufology community, Jose Escamilla continued his filming career.
Death
[edit]Jose Escamilla died after a long battle with congestive heart disease on December 12, 2018.
