Barry Redhead – A Passion for Science Fiction
…I have tirelessly pursued my creative journey through the worlds of film and literature. With over 1,000 science fiction films and series in my repertoire—ranging from cult classics to timeless masterpieces—I have gathered a vast spectrum of influences and inspiration. After more than 30 years in the IT industry, my career led me into the world of film, where I worked as a director and cinematographer in Hollywood, Paris, London, and Hamburg. There, I was able to demonstrate my talent and passion across a variety of projects. Following my work in the film industry, I turned my focus to writing and published my first thriller, DARWIN – Time to Kill, in Germany, based on one of my original screenplays.
Soon after, I returned to my favorite genre and released the science fiction novel Paradies 4.0 – CHAOS. This marked the beginning of an exciting series that continued with Verlogen (approx. 350 pages) and Katastrophen (550 pages). In 2022, I presented the first volume of my comic series—based on my sci-fi trilogy—at Comic-Con Dortmund. The second volume of this series will be released at the end of 2026 and will be available worldwide in English starting in September 2027. The adaptation of the Paradies 4.0 saga into an animated series is scheduled for late 2026.
My passion for film began in childhood, at the age of ten, when I shot my first scenes with a standard 8 mm camera. Over the years, I refined my craft, working in Hollywood with an Arriflex 16 mm camera and 35 mm Panavision Gold systems as both camera operator and director. For nearly a decade, I have been producing not only image films and music videos but also animated films based on my own books. In addition, I create promotional videos for other authors and bring more than 40 years of experience in computing to my work. The IT world is my second home, which explains my particular affinity for computer-animated films.
I look forward to embarking on my next project with you and bringing my diverse skills and experience to the realization of your vision. To get in touch, please click HERE.
