As a high school exchange student in Japan, Herbert Wright began a
lifelong study of martial arts, and the art of filmmaking after meeting
the legendary director, Akira Kurosawa. After graduation with honors from
Yale, filmmaker Wright moved to Hollywood, pursuing a successful career
in movies and TV. Wright has worked as a producer-writer-director on
hit shows such as Raumschiff Enterprise: Das nächste Jahrhundert (1987), Krieg der Welten (1988), Hunter (1984), and Stingray (1986), amassing over
200 episodes produced. Trekkies know of the Emmy-nominated Wright as
the "Father of the Ferengi", having created the notorious space
villains at Gene Roddenberry's bidding. He is producing, writing and directing
the first original made-for-the-Net Science Fiction entertainment, the
sci-fi cyberseries Mars and Beyond (2000), on the Cyber Sci-Fi Network.
