After completing Raiding the Lost Ark in 2012, I immediately embarked on a new project, tentatively called Jaws Bites Back. After 16 months of trawling, reading, spooling, skyping, chatting, interviewing, editing and refining, I am pleased to release Inside Jaws, A Filmumentary (2013).

After the success of Star Wars Begins, filmmaker Jamie Benning (aka Jambe Davdar) embarked upon a new adventure. This time turning his attention to the first film in the Indiana Jones Trilogy (yes, trilogy!). Raiding the Lost Ark, A Filmumentary is the culmination eight months of reading, trawling, interviewing and editing. This time Jamie has sourced some of the interviews himself, with contributors from Wolf Kahler (Colonel Dietrich), Brian Muir (legendary sculptor), Mark Mangini (part of the Oscar winning sound team) and most surprisingly Sean Young (talking about her audition for the part of Marion Ravenwood). Raiding is available for your viewing pleasure on Vimeo from 4th February 2012.

In the follow up project to “Building Empire” Jambe Davdar presents Star Wars: Returning to Jedi, charting an in depth view intro, and around the story of SW6.

This is a ‘commentary documentary’, combining all of the know behind the scenes footage with audio commentary and text facts.

Inspired by a love of the film ‘Star Wars’ and the idea that audio commentaries could be expanded, Jambe Davdar set out to make what he calls “the ultimate audio/visual commentary”. He started the project in February 2007 and finished, nearly four years later, in late January 2011.
