[2] Two years later and described as "somewhat eccentric" Markey then returned for the making of Hei Tiki; originally a silent film, which was released in 1935 with music and voice-over added in America.
When shooting was finished Markey left for America with “the film footage, many of the artifacts he had borrowed from Māori, a great many unpaid bills, and his partner Zoe Varney”.
He had obtained £10,000 from New Zealand investors, and borrowed taonga or cherished tribal artifacts from the Māori cast.
In 1944, Markey published a series of discourses titled Silent Revelations of Meher Baba.
Meher Baba had given Markey permission to rework a series of his discourses given in the 1930s, edited by C. D. Deshmukh.
