Film Makers
Norman A. Miles
Executive Producer
NORMAN A. MILES, A Professional Financial Planner in Syracuse, New York became involved in the project after meeting New York Times Best Selling Author Paul Perry and having the opportunity to read his book Jesus in Egypt, Discovering the Secrets of Christ's Childhood Years.
Mr. Miles after having read Perry's book was interested in creating a documentary series that would introduce Western audiences as well as others around the world to a side of Egypt few had ever seen. Bent Pyramid Productions, LLC was created and Miles began to work with author Paul Perry to do what was necessary to send a film crew to Egypt to begin filming.
Having limited background in the making of documentary films, Mr. Miles called upon his experience in business and in part those relationships established while working with The National Geographic Channel who created the docudrama A Treasure Ship's Tragedy for their series Mysteries of the Deep. This docudrama a CineNova Productions Inc. production in association with the National Geographic Channel, NGC-US was negotiated to be done by Miles featuring the ship wreck of the Auguste, a recovery project Miles has been involved with for a number of years.
When asked about his experience regarding the making of Jesus: The Lost Years and his being involved in this project Miles states that, "The quest for what happened to the Holy Family in Egypt has been life-changing and has opened my eyes to the true Egypt." "This project has revived my sense of spirituality. I am blessed to have been a part of this project."
