PLEASE READ FOR IMPORTANT INFO & CONTEXT. COMMENTS ARE WELCOMED! The following comment provides more information from the filmmakers about the making of the film and why it was created. Also, be sure to leave us a like after watching the film, and please share, share, share! Thank you for watching! "The film was made first and foremost as an ambitious, if not audacious, self tape audition for actress Emily Ashby for the role of Teela in the announced 'Masters of the Universe' film from Netflix. In deciding to do something that has rarely been done, if ever, on such a scale for an audition, it was our hope that it would at least get some buzz and attention for Emily with the role and possibly further consideration from the powers that be. To that end, the film isn’t a “fan film” in the traditional sense, as its original purpose and story was more of a showcase rather than an unofficial attempt at expanding the MOTU canon. Of course, we absolutely hope fans of MOTU and beyond enjoy it and take it for what it is: a fun time watching a character from MOTU kicking butt and having some fun with the fabled Power Sword. If we approached it like a normal fan film, we would have included more characters, settings, etc. from the world of MOTU than we chose to as well as making it a much longer film more true to the established canon. Instead we created our own trio of original characters for her to do battle with as again, we were creating a showcase for Emily in the role of Teela and bringing such characters as He-Man or Skeletor would have distracted from this purpose - and been a lot more expensive! As someone who grew up a child of the 80’s, I never thought I’d actually play in the MOTU sandbox as a filmmaker (officially or unofficially). It would be an incredible pleasure and opportunity to properly dive into world of MOTU in the future, with a lot more money to boot, but if this is all I'm able to ever do with it then I'm cool with it. We hope you have as good a time watching the film as we did in taking this big swing out in the middle of nowhere, with limited resources, a tiny crew yet talented crew, and a lot of gumption. The film was inspired by and styled after Hong Kong and Jackie Chan action films. We called in a lot of favors with some of our established friends within the industry. This includes Gerrit Wunder, who composed the original music for the film and who is the composer for DC’s 'Stargirl' and Netflix’s 'Slumberland,' along with a big upcoming series on Netflix to be announced soon. Our sound design was by 10-time Emmy nominated sound editor Patrick Hogan of 'Cobra Kai' and 'The Umbrella Academy.' Hong Kong stunt actor Christian “Kang” Bachini coordinated the stunts. The film was shot by DP Matt Devino, who shot the film on a RED Komodo with Atlas Anamorphic lenses. If anything, think of the film as a "What If..." episode centered around the MOTU rather than Marvel. We're not trying to be "woke." We're not trying to be "feminists." We're just telling a simple story about a hero from the MOTU kicking a little ass and asking that "what if..." question in the ultimate hope that our star, Emily Ashby, can get some momentum and attention for the role and open doors. If you're down with that, then by all means share!

That is the beauty of "fan film". You gotta appreciate it because you never know what gems you will see.

That was actually really good. The costumes and combat were good and while obviously some simple dialogue, the actors did a great job in their parts. Well done guys.

Hollywood is a real deception. Indie movie doing what the "great directors" NEVER will do. Epic movie! Congratulations from the bottom of my heart!

THAT transformation!! THAT’S how they need to do it!! Huge, fast, epic, explosive and powerful!! Not rainbow lights like Sailor Moon.

Didn't like Teela being called the "B" word however it was fuunny! Dude this is genius. Perfect tone for what a masters movie should be. Swashbuckling mix with badass. Super Dope!

Wow! Authentic Teela. I hope she stars in the new movie.

Thank you for using a performer for Teela that actually looks like she’s an athlete. Not too shabby for an audition film, it’s well made. Good job guys!

Teela, with her thunder-thighs, dancing, prancing to a fan made film.

The best porn parody without porn.

This is the way Teela needs to be portrayed instead of that horrible Netflix animated series

Gotta say this is better than Revelation. Emily makes a great Teela. Hope she gets the part.

"if you want it, come and claim it!" (nerd sense is tingling, I've heard this somewhere before...)

This actress really brought this character to life.

It was better than the 80's movie!! 😁😁😁

They are crazy if they don't give her the part!!! Best Teela ever!

I'd watch that if it were a series. Great production and stunt choreography.

Spin chilling when she says by the power of Grayskull.

I just fell in love with Teela❤

Interesting study on Teela. I'm not crazy about the design for the Staff of Ka. Looks too much like a Snake Men staff and appears a bit cumbersome for your actor. Her costume looks good. The Sword of Power looks like its design is based on the art in "Dangerous Games" from the Golden Book Heroic Champions series. This felt like a good mix of the 200X and mini-comics versions of Teela.

This can easily be its own series.

I would like to see Emily Ashby to get the part of Teela. Good job.👍👍👍👍

Great Job Bohemian Industries. This actress is PERFECT for Teela if another real motion picture MOTU movie ever gets made again . Something to replace the 1987 movie. Let's hope it happens while she's still young !!! Don't won't to let to many years pass by .

I've haven't watch this a long time since 1985 but a live action movie is really cool

Excellent power-up scene.

I would watch this movie over any marvel movie. The girl was hot and strong!

Teela is She-Ra But we love Adora! And now?🤪😅😅😅😅

That was pretty cool definitely reminded me of the classic stuff where teela was a badass who could hold her own in a fight without degrading the other characters.

I swear fan made films are way better then Hollywood's

Teela looks amazing!

2:29 my favorite scene

I hope Netflix release the series 🖤

Her transformation was done amazingly well!

This is great! It really showcases the skills and talents of everyone involved. I hope Emily Ashby gets the role, she would be awesome as Teela in the Netflix series. Also can’t wait to see what movies Elwon Bakly lands from this. He really should be in just about every medieval/fantasy movie. Nicely done Bohemian Industries.

I'll be surprised if they get a better Teela that this one for the feature film. Emily should audition and use this as proof of concept!

Muy buen video. Solo un detalle que me hubiera gustado mucho ver: que Teela tenga el cabello recogido en el inicio, con un peinado similar al de los dibujos originales de los 80, y que a medida que vaya peleando se quede con el cabello suelto.

Oh hell nah!!! Ya'll can't leave us like this, we need a full film, c'mon now 🤦🏻‍♂️

Super cool Power effects at the end and awesome artwork in the credits.

This was fun. Would have liked to have seen her transformed though. That would have been cool.

I showed my daughter this video on Sunday afternoon. She really liked it and said Emily makes a really good Teela. She also said she likes that Teela likes how she likes her too, since I told her Emily thought it was really cool how my daughter liked Teela based on her skills and abilities over She-ra’s power of Grayskull. Thanks for joining us on the podcast over the weekend!

This was wonderful. If there's a chance to see a new live-action movie, they had better get it right! On a side note, that actress is one hot tamale 😍💕

This was fantastic. Emily would make an amazing Teela for the Netflix project. She’d also make a brilliant Red Sonja. Good choice of closing music with Dynazty, love power metal.

Choreography was iffy in spots, but overall, I dig it. Emily is great.

Since the first episode 40 years ago, I've been a MOTU fan; at 3 years old my dad would yell at me for climbing up on the arm of the couch and yelling "I HAVE THE POWER!" with the light-up power sword my grandfather bought for me. Any real MOTU fan knows the franchise and fandom is all about doing creative things and introducing fantastic ideas... That being said, this was a darn good project. I have to admit that spinning sword catch was epic. Great job everyone, you showed that fan-made can be incredible. You've got this lifetime fans vote. 👍🏻

Esto de verdad esta bastante elaborado para ser una audición,ser fanática a la franquicia ya tiene mi voto,la veo interpretando a teela sin problemas,ya las habilidades histriónicas si no se ven pero como guerrera es convincente,tu amor por motu ya me hace darte un si,mucha suerte en el casting.

She's so gorgeous,, I miss teela so much,, 😀☺️

OMG! Please make more Masters of the Universe films. This was AWESOME!!

EPIC! Nothing Hollywood makes as a new He-Man move will compare to this!

The casting is flawless. Visuals are flawless. I want to see her Ina a movie already

BEAUTIFUL TEELA PERFORMANCE EMILY ❤️ THIS 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 😎🎥

Cool- wanted to see -HE MAN next

The combat coordination in this was amazing

Excellent old-school choreography! Also, at 3:11 - you can practically hear Bonan's two brain cells arguing over which takes priority. "Sword!" "Fight!" "Sword!" "Fight!" "SWORD!" "FIGHT!"

Bad ASS!!!! Teela has the POWAAAA!!!!

I grew up with Masters of the Universe from when I was a really little kid. My and my best friend were constantly getting new figures. This is awesome, I hope you guys do more. Emily Ashby makes an amazing Teela! I was reserved when I saw this was a private venue, but a minute or two in I was hooked on her performance. The ending also threw me off. That was some awesome story telling.

Ooh, this is fun! This is monumentally better than whatever Netflix tried pulling on us several years ago. I especially like the costumes. They feel just like they were ripped out of the original show! Now, I'm not sure what this version of Teela is entirely based on, but I feel her characterization is rather unusually brutish for the character. Most people are probably familiar with the filmation version of her, and if she's constantly portrayed like this throughout the movie, it will most definitely rub a lot of fans the wrong way, because that's not what Teela is. She was elegant and had poise like a gymnast, and she was intelligent with how she fought. She was a fiery redhead, but that fire was like a blowtorch, not a bon fire, if you know what I mean. She was not one who relied on raw physical power to win. And above all, she was kind and good natured. That last bit may seem unimportant, but a lot of movies and shows today seem to think being powerful and being kind are mutually exclusive when they're not. I mean, that was kinda the point of the original show; you have the power, and you can use it to do good. Maybe I'm drawing conclusions too early. This is a 6 minute proof of concept after all, and the actual movie is probably in the very early stages of pre-production, so I hope I'm wrong.

Well, at least they let Teela be a ginger

okay i'm officially in love with emily 😍😍😍

This was a wonderful short tape/ audition! I wish the actress all the best in getting the role. Irrespective of how it works out with Netflix I hope to see this on the big screen one day with or without the N logo!

i appreciate the creativity for the IP

This looks more like Mortal Kombat with all the combos and finishing moves

Now that’s a good looking female warrior

This is how Teela should've been and looked in the 1987 Masters of the Universe movie.

Emily as Red Sonja would be perfect casting!

Emily is gorgeous and a badass! I love the costume and the fight choreography was awesome! Great work!

He-man 80's cartoon still and always the best and MOTU movie is a classic. Rate this 6.50 for the effort and different approach. Acting needs a bit of tweaking, pull back on some dialog and expression as not to be over done and add a little more immersion. Actors and actress beautiful enough for the parts. overall nice job everyone.

Excellent, let the series begin

Emily Ashby is a masterpiece for playing Teela! I love it! 😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏⚔⚔⚔⚔

Just missing one thing, Dolph Lundgren! lol Good Job

We need more. Please incorporate He Man some how. Also man at arms and orco.

I don't care what anyone says. I like it! It's a little corny, silly, but fun. give us another one.

This film short gets better every time I see it. I also love how Teela's design has 3 certain elements from the He-Man franchise: Her cobra stick from the Teela toy, her breast plate from the original cartoon show and her orange skin from MOTU: Revelation (I know He-Man fans aren't happy about that show but I always liked her orange color).

Brilliant. Loved the look and feel. Teela was done very well.

Entertaining and fun but the idea of anyone wielding the power sword except He-Man is sacrilegious

Wow!!! I need a second part of this

All that I have seen, is an actress perfect for the role of Red Sonja in every aspect.

Muito MASSA!!! Eu curtir 😍

Truly the best audition tape possible, I love seeing all the exposure this is getting too. Congrats to you all, you managed to get some live auction MOTU out there for the fans, Sony wasn't able to get anything out in years of trying. Let's hope Netflix actually does soon, I hope they see this and cast Emily, shes a perfect blend of bad ass, beautiful, and sass that make up the perfect Teela IMO. I enjoyed the other characters as well, Cy-Am, Bonan, Chain Male, they all brought energy and entertainment to the project. The costumes were well done, the filming, location selection, special effects, just all really good for this fan film/audition. No matter if anything more ever comes from this project, this by itself was an absolute joy and just pumps me up every time I rewatch. Again thank you everyone who helped bring this to life. Lets go Emily!

Better than the 1987 effort into live action MOTU. Anything without Gwildor is a vast improvement.

Teela was always the one.

Excellent work! I really wish Emily get the role, she was superb as Teela!!!

I, for one, loved it. Just the right amount of camp. Brava!

*MORE* Masters of the universe related videos please!!! 😀

*MORE* Masters of the universe videos please 😎

Really impressive camera work, production value, sfx and vfx. Kudos to the whole crew.

I ain't gonna lie. When she screamed "I HAVE THE POWER!" I got chills.🤩

Heman,(dolf lundgreen)was the master of the universe!

I really like this. Held my interest. The hero(ine) Teela was cool to watch in action👍👍!

Muy bueno!!! Me uniera gustado ver a esta teela con rodete .cómo la capitana de los 80

WTF i have witnessed 😮 It look so authentic please make a Teela spin off❤

Film work was quality Fight choreography was quality Script was lacking and cliche' overall great job you all. This takes a TON of work to produce.

Always a pleasure to rewatch this fan film on occasion. I still have the Masterverse Teela figure that I bought last year. Here's to a sequel with Teela and all the other fighters shown here.

Great work! I would like to see muscular Teela with the power of grayskull! : )

ficou melhor que o " He-man" que a Netflix fez. Nesse pelo menos ja leva o nome dela direto, não enganou ninguém. E a atriz é linda.

Soy fan de he-man y los amos del universo desde niño y soy de los mas acérrimos seguidores de esta franquicia la amo con locura,e visto comentarios en su mayoría positivos y otros pocos ofensivos,esta actriz está perfecta para el papel,luce como la teela del primer comic de he-man que venia con.la figura vintage con su cabello rojo suelto,la calidad de imagen del corto es brutal la coreografía tiene sus falencias visibles pero por Dios que esperaban,para ser un video con el fin de audicionar esta espectacular,tienes mi voto,eres teela the goodes warrior.

The most beautiful and strong Teela in the universe ❤️

Love The retro Feel!

wonderful the brave and vigilant teela wow.

Overall pretty good. The costuming and makeup looked great. And I like the choreography of the first fight. It felt like an actual fight. After that, I think it loses something. There was a lot of overhead blocking with the staff where you didn't feel the weight of the hit, and it's clear that the second fighter is deliberately not taking advantage of an obvious opening. Still, I think she would make a great Teela.

I can see Teela in material that keeps the main character.
