Background
Alexander Markey (1891–1958) was an American filmmaker and founder of Markey Films (president Harry J. Thomas). He was born in Hungary and died in Switzerland.
From 1928 to 1935 he was in New Zealand making films about the Māori people. In 1928 he was sent by Carle Laemmle of Universal Studios to make a film he called Taranga, but did not keep to schedule or make any effective footage. So the film was made as Under the Southern Cross by Lew Collins.
Markey was described as "somewhat eccentric".
A description of the experience
Thoughts through Space – Sir Hubert Wilkins and Harold M Sherman
Alexander Markey declared that the Maoris of New Zealand communicate by means of telepathy today. In his treks through the jungle from one tribe to another, he found that word of his coming had preceded him.
Upon his arrival, the whole tribe would be assembled to welcome him, although there had been
no physical means for this information to reach them.
