On episode 121 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined once again by independent filmmaker, Christopher Garetano, to talk all about his new television series, Strange World. Garetano, whose award-winning film, Montauk Chronicles, inspired the hit show Stranger Things, has spent a lifetime searching for the truth behind some of America’s most unusual stories. Now, he begins a boots-on-the-ground investigation into the legends, mysteries and first-person accounts that fuel this country’s creepiest conspiracy theories and unexplained occurrences in the new Travel Channel series, Strange World. Over the course of eight hour-long episodes, Garetano will immerse himself in a world of the weird and bizarre, exploring everything from the alleged curse of James Dean’s death car, Little Bastard, to the extraordinary and unexplained disappearances on California’s Mount Shasta, to the legend of Polybius, a 1980’s arcade game supposedly created as a mind-control experiment gone amuck. Garetano runs us through the premiere episode concerning his ongoing investigation into Camp Hero and the Montauk Project, and then he gives us the inside scoop on some of the compelling episodes that will follow. Guest Bio: Christopher Garetano produced and directed several award-winning films, including the 2005 film, “Horror Business,” and the 2015 docudrama, “Montauk Chronicles,” which received awards for best documentary at the 2015 Philip K. Dick Film Festival and best picture at the Celludroid Film Festival. Garetano is the creator of the comic strip and anticipated graphic novel, “South Texas Blues,” originally published in Fangoria Magazine in 2012. In 2016, Garatano collaborated with Texas Crew Productions and HISTORY as an executive producer, host and director of re-creations on the television movie, “The Dark Files.” Garetano is also currently directing an episode of a new thriller anthology series with DIGA STUDIOS titled, “Fifty States of Fear.” Now, Garetano is passionately diving into his new dream project – “Strange World,” an investigative docu-series on Travel Channel.
