Bryce Zabel currently co-hosts the popular "Need to Know" podcast with investigative journalist Ross Coulthart. Bryce's latest theatrical feature film, "The Last Battle", based on a New York Times bestseller, will be shot by Endurance Media in Europe next year.
A winner of the prestigious Writers Guild award for screenwriting, Bryce has created and produced five prime time television series, including fan favorites like NBC's UFO thriller "Dark Skies" and the TV adaptation of "The Crow", as well as worked on a dozen TV writing staffs (i.e. "Lois & Clark", "Steven Spielberg's Taken"). He is also a produced feature writer (i.e. "Atlantis: The Lost Empire", "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation") and miniseries writer/producer (i.e. "Blackbeard", "Pandemic", "The Poseidon Adventure"). He has taught graduate level screenwriting as an Adjunct Professor at the USC School of Cinematic Arts.
Bryce's scripted podcast "Undeniable", about a mid-air collision between a UFO and a commercial jet, will be produced next year by former Sony TV president Jeff Sagansky. He will also host the high-profile podcast "Sound, Light & Frequency" with his "Dark Skies" co-creator Brent Friedman.
He was the first writer since Rod Serling elected to serve as Chairman/CEO of the Television Academy, and was elected days before 9/11 forced him to cancel the Emmys twice in the same year. He is also the co-chair of the brand new Newport Beach TV Fest, a spin-off of the long-standing Newport Beach Film Festival.
A former on-air CNN correspondent, Bryce has won multiple awards for investigative reporting in the Los Angeles market. As an author, his book "A.D. After Disclosure" with Richard Dolan is considered a classic of UFO literature. His "Breakpoint" alternate history book series is an unprecedented two-time winner of the coveted Sidewise Award for Alternate History for its debut novel about the JFK assassination, "Surrounded by Enemies," and "Once There Was a Way", a novel about The Beatles not breaking up.
His production company, Stellar Productions, has developed "The Crash," about the race to break the Roswell story, and "Missing Time" about the Betty and Barney Hill abduction.
