Craig Campobasso

Multiple award-winning filmmaker and Emmy-nominated Casting Director Craig Campobasso was 17 when he went to work behind-the-scenes on such blockbuster film classics as Frank Herbert’s Dune directed by David Lynch, and two Arnold Schwarzenegger movies: Conan The Destroyer and Total Recall.

Craig began his casting career on Steven Spielberg’s Amazing Stories and he received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Casting for a Series on David E. Kelley’s Picket Fences.

At 26, Craig experienced a life-changing spiritual awakening, inspiring his Autobiography of an Extraterrestrial Saga book series. His passion is to write stories that provoke the reader to think, raise their consciousness, and expand their mind about Creation, while still entertaining in the Hollywood tradition.  

Craig directed, wrote and produced the short film Stranger at the Pentagon, which was adapted from the popular UFO book authored by the late Dr. Frank E. Stranges. After production, the short film collected accolades. In September 2014, it won Best Sci-Fi Film at the Burbank International Film Festival and a Remi Award at the Worldfest Houston International Film Festival for Best Sci-Fi Short. 

Craig has appeared on many radio shows, including: Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, the Open Minds talk show with Regina Meredith, and Beyond Belief, hosted by George Noory on GaiaTV. He has also appeared on the History Channel’s Ancient Aliens, Gaia TV’s Deep Space, and the Travel Channel's UFO Witness.

His latest books include the best-selling Extraterrestrial Species Almanac and The UFO Hotspot Compendium. The documentary of The Extraterrestrial Species Almanac will be released in early 2024.
