Rick DeLano

Rick DeLano has worked as a producer, executive producer, and financial consultant in the music and film industries for more than 20 years. His fascination with the question of our place in the cosmos began with a $1,000 Internet challenge to provide direct scientific proof of the universally assumed motion of the Earth around the sun. When he found that he (nor anyone else for that matter) couldn't collect, he was astonished to realize no one had ever made a documentary film examining the Copernican Principle-the foundational idea of modernity itself and how it came to be perhaps the most widely believed metaphysical assumption in the history of the human race. The Principle, which Rick wrote and produced, is the first documentary examination of this cosmological principle. Needless to say, it has generated a bit of controversy, which is fine with Rick.
