Jamie Lang Chilean screenwriter, director, and science fiction author Julio Rojas, best known for his acclaimed audio series “Caso 63” and director Miguel León, whose recent works include the critically acclaimed “El Secreto del Doctor Grinberg” (2020) and the Netflix hit “La Dama del Silencio” (2023), have spent the last two years looking for the truth behind one of the most mysterious and controversial figures in the field of extraterrestrial investigation, Billy Meier.

The duo is working with Maquina Vega – a new production company with offices in Los Angeles and Mexico City, partnering “Father of the Bride” Gary “Gaz” Alazraki’s Alazraki Entertainment with Alisa Tager – on a documentary titled “I Want to Believe,” which promises to offer an unprecedented look at Meier’s lifetime of dubious claims.

Born in Switzerland in 1937, Meier claims to have been in contact with extraterrestrial beings since he was just five years old.

His photographs of spacecraft against serene Swiss landscape caused a sensation in the 1970s, propelling him to the status of a spiritual guru and a global authority in UFO studies.
