DI ROBERTS
Producer & President of West Eagle Films Inc.

Diane Roberts emerged from a background of entertainment accounting and then innovative commercial television and award winning feature film production in the UK, Europe, Canada, Africa and the USA. Diane came to the IMAX format in 1990 with the production of Rolling Stones at the Max.
For several years she worked with Chris Parsons OBE and Sir David Attenborough ; two men who defined excellence in natural history documentaries. Diane has acted as producer for six large format films, all still in release: The Secret of Life on Earth, Survival Island, Rolling Stones at the Max, Wolves, Straight Up Helicopters in Action, and the Academy award nominated Fires of Kuwait. Each one made rigorous production demands. Survival Island was shot in the Sub Antarctic at great risk, The Secret of life on Earth involved 57 locations across the globe, and Rolling Stones at the Max , spanned four countries with all the attendant problems of shooting the world's most successful rock band in the enormously challenging large format. Having made the transition to the giant screen, she has brought an unbroken series of difficult projects to successful completion : on time and on budget.

DAVID DOUGLAS
Director & Cinematographer

David began his filmmaking career by making a multiple image documentary while still in high school. This effort lead to a 1970 meeting with, and employment by, the principals of a film company called Multiscreen. Those men were Robert Kerr, Graeme Ferguson, Bill Shaw and Roman Kroitor, the inventors of the IMAX ® system and the fathers of the large format film industry, as we know it. Now, with over thirty years in the medium, David Douglas is the industry's most experienced cinematographer, having photographed over thirty films for IMAX ® Corp. and other large format clients.
Among his directing credits are large format benchmarks such as Oscar ® nominated "Fires of Kuwait", critically acclaimed "Survival Island" and the first IMAX ® concert feature "Rolling Stones at the MAX". In 2002 he was honored with the KODAK VISION award.
When IMAX ® founder Graeme Ferguson created the IMAX ® Space Team, David spent 18 months training dozens of astronauts to be filmmakers. He supported their orbital efforts form mission control on 14 shuttle flights and shot the terrestrial images for the IMAX ® Space Series: The Dream is Alive, Blue Planet, Destiny in Space, and Mission to Mir.
David's more recent projects include capturing the launch of the first team to occupy the International Space Station in 3D, and "Wolves", a large format feature in current release for Primesco Communications and the National Wildlife Federation. His latest release , Straight Up-Helicopters in Action premiered at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington on 18th Sept. 2002.
