What a great interview. Love learning more back story

This would go good with UNIFICATION

Very promising so far.

I hate how dirty they did Sulu

The nexus when it hit any biological object pulls it into the inside. Kirk never entered space when the arm reached out to the Enterprise B. And the people on the exploding Lakul ship aren’t dead that Scotty tried to rescue aren’t dead but in the nexus. From what I can see and understand the Nexus doesn’t kill you but simply wants you to come in but if doing so by ship it destroys the ship because it’s not biological.

Spock quoted Carol Marcus about being a boy scout.

I can"t help but feel the short Unification Video drew some inspiration from this...

Good writing. Really nailed Bone's voice. Would be great to hear this with sound-alike voice actors.

I miss these guys trek will never get close to this type of friendship ever again!

Very well done. Thank you!

Star Trek meets the Flintstones in a sit-com as conceived by Stanley Kubrick.. interesting concept

The filmation style is cool but the a.i. voices lack emotion. With that said, that is pretty close to how that conversation would have been scripted

I hope you will also check out the fan film that myself and My animator have greated

Second time i watch this and again I'm in awe... This recreation is nothing but almost essentially perfect...!! Second time watching I even asked myself if this was really done before they were gone... it could have been - like a read along narrated book of some kind... But finally I read here that this is the powers of IA... and that's fantastic.

Love this

Ray, you and your team have always been a blessing. Wishing you great success on the move.

Great interview! Thanks for the support!

TOM ERDMANN, SEBASTIAN BITTINS and MIRI LUX of EUDERION - INFINITY You all Rock, thanks for your films and doing this

Glad to hear Neutral Zones Studios is continuing! I grew up with Star Trek and enjoyed Star Trek Continues in California. When I moved to St. Mary's GA. I had no idea I was 15 minutes from where these were filmed! Visited twice with family and was so impressed. I t was like walking into a dream come true. It almost floored me when the doors slide open and we saw the bridge! I guess the show and stories had a big impact on me. Even as an adult it all came back. I'm glad others will continue to have this great experience.

Great Interview, Thank You !!! And Thank You Sooooooooooooo Much Mr. Ray Tesi !!! Sandusky here we come ! :D

As a frequent visitor to the Kingsland site, I have to say with much sadness, that I will miss the wonderful labor of love that was The Neutral Zone Studios Georgia. While I understand the reasons for the move, I have to admit that I wished another more local solution could have been found. Since I live in Central Florida, the 2 and a half hour drive was a fun roadtrip to visit every now and then, but now to travel to Ohio would be a major undertaking. Still, I look forward to travelling to Sandusky to visit the studio once it is up and running. Good luck Ray in this new location and I wish it all the best.

so depressing you moved so far, since I live in Kingsland and the sets were a walking distance from my house down Clark's Bluff. Still happy you found a more habitable dock station for the starship. Sandusky, Ohio appears to have a population of 23,957 as of the last census and Kingsland, Georgia 18,300, not a big difference. However, the difference is that Kingsland, Georgia has a pretentious air about its size and importance, there are a lot of nice empty buildings you could have moved to, but local real estate owners think they are worth and arm and a leg. So not true... I hope the city of Sandusky will appreciate with humility the wonderful enterprise you are bringing to the area. I will continue my support thru Patreon. I hope one day to travel to Sandusky, Ohio and sit at the con on the bridge! Live Long and Prosper!

Best of luck, Ray. Hope you find great success in Sandusky... we'll miss you down south! So glad we got to visit Neutral Zone last October.

I can't help but feel bitter about the move. I live in Jacksonville Fl. and it was a thirty min drive. I guessing that most of the visitors to Kingland were from Jacksonville. Was Jacksonville even considered for the move. We have our share of empty malls and a large population. So sad.

My dear friend Ray, thanks for everything you are doing to keep the studio alive. I, and some other members of my crew, wish we could be closer so we could be there to help with the move both in Ga and in Ohio. However, the moment you declare the studio open some of us are planing to fly there and visit the studio and meet with you and the crew. Some of us are already donating to the studio in a yearly contribution. I will spread the word here to see if I can get more folks to join the donations. For now, we wish you the very best in this gigantic endeavor and, again, or heartfelt gratitude for all you do. Looking forward to seeing you next year. God bless. (from the entire crew of the USS San Juan, NCC-1648, the Puerto Rico chapter of SFI).

Good interview, as always! Selfishly sorry you're relocating up North, but glad you're keeping the dream alive. Thanks Ray!

thank you Ray! I hope to get there one day

Dang, I would have loved if it had moved to Polk County! I'd go once a month since I live there! Anyway, glad I got to go last year, hope they have great success in Ohio!

A bit of quick research shows this new location is the former smaller TJ MAXX in THE SANDUSKY MALL (They moved into a larger location on the other side of the mall)...SPIRIT is currently in the space..the mail isn't quite a "dead mall" but is about at 80% occupacy...JC PENNY'S is the anchor. It's across the mail from "Federation Headquarters", a non-proit gift shop for the "International Federation of Trekkers, Inc" fan group - rather important facts left out of the interview...but clearly, they had to be the ones who let Ray know about the space...makes perfect sence, actually.

This really saddens me. I had high hopes the Studio would be staying in Fla. even though it will be out of our reach now I will still head over to the Patreon and continue to pray for all those involved. As soon as they get set all those in OHhio need to visit. It is truly a unique experience to have the op to see a real filming set rather than static displays. Much love to you Ray and the crew. I miss you all. GOD Bless you. Live Long and Prosper.
