Frank Hadfield brings a wealth of knowledge and a keen eye for detail to every project undertaken by Narrative Drive Pictures. With a passion for storytelling Frank seamlessly weaves his experience in film production with a profound interest in paleontology and natural history. This distinctive blend of artistic vision and scientific curiosity sets Frank apart, infusing each production with a depth and authenticity that captivates audiences.

Frank is a maverick in the world of Paleontology. A self taught vertebrate Paleontologist and professional fossil technician. Hadfield has found, collected and prepared over 350 dinosaur fossils throughout the world. Some of his greatest discoveries include; the smallest Tyrannosaur skeleton in North America. The second largest dinosaur skull ever found. Plus a possible new species of armored dinosaur. His biggest find to date is the first feathered dinosaurs in the western hemisphere. A juvenile “Ornithomimus” less than one year old and amazingly, less than one year later an adult Ornithomimid specimen. Hadfield was co-author on the peer reviewed scientific paper describing the specimen in the prestigious Journal “Science” Oct 2012 ,Vol-338. “Feathered Non-Avian Dinosaurs from North America Provide Insight into Wing Origins”.

He is also the founder and President of Dinosaur Valley Studios. A multi-faceted business that works globally in the entertainment industry. Dinosaur Valley Studios work has been displayed around the world at museums in Vancouver,Toronto, Tokyo, London, Sydney, Los Angeles, Houston and many other global cities. From gigantic Dinosaurs to Blue Whales, Hadfield and his team have designed and fabricated some of the largest and most challenging natural history exhibits in the world. Recent exhibits include a 50 foot long lifelike replica of the world’s largest Mosasaur, Tylosaurus pembinensis, an extinct giant marine reptile. Also, a world exclusive engineering and artistic marvel an Orcinus orca (Killer Whale) skeleton that is supported by gravity alone. Never content, Hadfield’s work continues with an exhibit showcasing the only multi species dinosaur trackway, that has captured evidence for dinosaur predation. Located on a mountain top in western Canada, this may be the only such site in the world.

Frank’s experience in paleontology and natural history serves as a unique and inspiring foundation for the creative endeavors of Narrative Drive Pictures.
