Shawn Knippleberg
Shawn Knippelberg (Music/Executive Producer) is an accomplished musician who scored the feature film The Shelter and the upcoming horror/comedy short Murder for Dummies, Shawn provides the music and sound design for the show. He is a skeptic, atheist and has more than two decades of investigative and evidentiary experience, which he lends to investigations whenever possible. He hopes to keep the rest of this motley crew on track, and ensure the term “evidence” is used properly.
Peter Renn
Lead Investigator/Executive Producer: Peter is president of Vancouver Paranormal Society and has more than 25-years-experience as an investigator. Born in London, England, he’s been fortunate to investigate documented locations all around the world and specializes in negative (demonic) cases. He’s also a documenting investigator for an exorcist in Washington state. Skeptical by nature, Peter looks for a logical explanation first, before jumping to paranormal conclusions.
Marcus Flor
Marcus Flor (Executive Producer/Cinematographer) - Marcus is an aspiring filmmaker and cinematographer with a few short films under his belt, and a lot of drive to make it in the film industry. He’s always had a fascination with the strange and supernatural, but no personal experience with it. He sees We Want to Believe as an opportunity to ``peak behind the curtain`` of the paranormal and finally see something for himself.
Sarah Jane
Investigator: Sarah is a writer, animal lover, and “clerical hospital wench” who has had a long-running interest in the paranormal. She initially got into the field because it would provide her with opportunities to investigate old heritage sites and learn their stories, as history is another passion of hers. She brings an open-minded skepticism, and quirky sense of humor, to the team, as well as a desire to help others.
