Derrick Warfel
Derrick Warfel was born and raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Princeton University, a Master of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary, and an MFA in Cinema from the University of Southern California.
An award-winning writer, director, and producer, he has completed more than eight feature films and numerous short films. In recent years, Derrick became increasingly concerned by the growing normalization of UFO narratives in popular media—particularly the claim that alleged extraterrestrial messages are guiding humanity toward a new stage of evolution.
Author of UFOs and God and its companion feature documentary are his response—a biblical, clear-sighted examination designed to equip the church to recognize and resist the spiritual dangers embedded in these messages.
