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!

@@starscream512 it's still in process and won't be announced for a while. But we're all happy with the shot we took here for it regardless of what happens. Of course, the film could be cancelled or even postponed again as well, which would be a bummer.
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.
Happy to hear you dug it, Morgan! Thanks for the kind words, and please feel free to give us a like and share with all your fellow MOTU fans and friends! Appreciate it!
Thank you, Luciano! We're happy to see how much you enjoyed the film - and who knows, maybe this is the start of even bigger and better things! Please give us a like and share to all your friends!
@@BohemianIndustries I´ve already shared this pearl with all my friends and family! Now a little challenge for you: I dare you to do something amazing like this Teela´s movie with Thundercats, Silverhawks or Dungeons & Dragons! PS: Keep producing movies about He-man´s universe either!🤩😜
@@cybermindman So happy to hear it! Thank you for the challenge! We shall see, but I like it! We are writing something right now inspired by D&D, and we have a music video we're discussing with an artist that will involve either MOTU characters or Thundercats. So stay tuned!
The problem is that Hollywood is cheaping out on any productions that are not part of well established franchises. That’s because only such franchises make big profit these days; so they don’t want to risk suffer loss. This is why movies such as “dragonball evolution” and “mortal kombat (2021) sucked.
This is why directors are supposed to be important to tv shows and movies. What gets made is "their vision" of the script. A bad director can end up with an action movie with shaky cam and jump cuts. Urgh.
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!
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!
We're glad you enjoyed, Enjoyer! We feel she really embodied the part physically as well and could realistically go toe to toe as well. Happy you dug it and feel free to give it a like and a share!
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!
Thank you for the great message and the sincere love, motudrew! We feel all of it! We couldn't agree more that Emily would be the perfect Teela, and it's our hope this all can at least get her officially in serious consideration! We also feel the same way that no matter what, we believe we made something that's a lot of fun and captures the spirit and thrill of MOTU! Please share with all your friends and fellow MOTU fans! Let's do it, Emily!
@@grantg7457 this will never be denied. Give our statement at the top a read, it’ll explain everything. I promise. You’ll also probably dig it more as a result.
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!
Thank you for having us, Shawn! It's awesome that your daughter liked the film, and it makes us proud knowing that she liked Emily's take on Teela as well! Here's hoping we can kick it on the podcast sometime again in the future!
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 .
Thank you, Christopher! We're glad you loved it and enjoyed Emily as Teela. We couldn't agree more! We'll always have a soft spot for the '87 movie, but... yeah... we need something fresh and new! Hopefully the new movie happens and we all don't have to wait too long, especially Emily! Please feel free to share with all your friends and MOTU fans!
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.
Thank you, Mr. D! Glad we have a fan and supporter in you and fingers crossed for Emily for sure! We LOVE Elwon as well, and you're so right - he's Mr. Fantasy! Feel free to share and keep spreading the word!
Thank you, A Quarius! We're so glad you enjoyed it, and we want to see her in a movie already too! Please feel free to share it with your friends, family, and all the other MOTU fans out there!
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.
Thank you for watching and for enjoying the film! We definitely appreciate your feedback - I think if we had more money and time we could have explored more ideas for the staff, but we based ours mainly on the Tweeterhead Studios Teela staff. We bust the staff up good though during filming, so if we ever make a follow-up, we'll definitely "upgrade" the staff with a fresh take. Please feel free to share with your friends and other MOTU fans!
Thank you for the praise and the support, Billy! It means a lot to us, and we're happy this film thrilled you and brought the goods! We're hoping we can make more too, and if we can hit a million views, we have some plans to make something really epic soon! So please share with all your friends and spread the word!
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. 👍🏻
Thank you and we're so happy you were able to enjoy the film! Happy you're a real MOTU fan who gets it, doesn't mind Teela kickin' a little ass, and digs the journey. Please feel free to share!
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.
We've be over the moon if we were able to get a series made with this as a proof of concept (but we'd definitely make it He-Man and the Masters of the Universe if so!), but of course, we're happy with what we were able to do with this too! We're glad you enjoyed the film, and please give us a like and share with your friends and fellow MOTU fans!
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.
We're happy you enjoyed the film, Daniel! We definitely wanted to make Teela strong and not some damsel in distress. She picks fights, gets into trouble, but still gets out of it without needing to be saved. That's our Teela! Please feel free to share it with your friends!
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!
Thanks for the kind words and support, Sardalamit! We appreciate it, and here's hoping it helps Emily get a serious look - all the support from everyone so far doesn't hurt! It'll be fun to finally see the MOTU film either way! Please feel free to share!
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.
We're so glad you you enjoyed the journey and the film, George! We're especially happy you dug Emily's performance as Teela! She is the ONE! Please feel free to like the film and to share it with all your friends and fellow MOTU fans - and tell them to give a chance if reluctant. We know most will be thrilled! Also, we hope this brought back some fond memories of playing with those classic figures like it did myself!
@@BohemianIndustries I've been around in the entertainment industry a bit. I've been published for my work in the gaming field and been an off the books consultant for an MMORPG. I'm an ex professional wrestler too. My experiences have made me picky. Once the bar is set it's hard to fall in love with anything underneath it. As much as I am a purist and wouid love to see you guys do another one with Prince Adam or even evolve the story to the point he ends up with the sword, I loved it. Emily's portrayal was amazing. It was like she stepped right out of Masters of the Universe. I liked it better than Chelsea Field's performance in the Masters of the Universe movie.
Thank you, Rebekah! We're glad you enjoyed! Please feel free to share with your friends and of course, looking forward to seeing your new snake armor soon too!
This is the best short movie i have seen in a long time. Hollywood should pay this woman 20 million and get her to do a new movie instead of all of the garbage we have now. Also, the Barbarian guy has a Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson kind of look. He even does the same smirks 😏, and sort of reminded me of the Scorpion King 🦂. I would gladly pay to see this movie and sponsor it. Have a nice day!
You rock, Joe! Thank you for the love and your attention to detail. The guy playing Bonan actually DID play Dwayne Johnson's double in a couple of films, so that's a good notice! Would love for you to sponsor a movie for us! We have a new project in the works, but we need to see what Amazon does with theirs first before we go full speed ahead! Got our buddy who is an Academy Award winning makeup artist on board to make Skeletor for us too... we shall see!
Wow! I really had no idea that Bonan the Barbarian had played as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, but it does shows. This man should be back to remake the Scorpion King and not just choose any random bulky muscle guy as Hollywood's goons are doing lately. Even South Park has been doing a better job than Hollywood, and that there should already tell you the type of crisis that we are dealing with these days. Also, this girl here is perfect as Teela, we don't need Sydney Sweeney with red hair to do this part, as someone more "neutral" and less known to the public can do it better as we need these skills here and not a drama script, but instead action adventure. 😀 I too am a voice actor and do video games voice acting and I also imitate Skeletor's voice. If you ever need a Skeletor voice I'll be around and even do it for free. I love art and that is the reason why, as today artistic and cinematic values are being lost and being replaced by third rate mediocrity & political garbage. Even Thomas Jefferson would be horrified if he lived these says and saw all of the mess that this new generation is doing. We must retake the old artistic values and keep modern politics away from anything Fantasy & Sci-Fi related. 😀👍
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 😍💕
We're happy you dug the film, Heavy Metal! We agree, we hope that if and when the film is made, it's done with love and respect and excitement! We also agree, Emily as Teela is a babe! Please give a like and share to all your friends and fellow MOTU fans!
Feeling the love, Michael! Thank you so much! We'd LOVE to see a series made, that would be amazing - even better than a movie we think! Please feel free to give us a like and share to all your friends and fellow MOTU fans!
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!"
Glad you dug the style of the fight and grooved with the scene with Bonan as the meat head he is. Please feel free to share with all your friends so they enjoy the film too!
wow, this story was so good. Wow, congratulations are in order. I loved reminiscing about my childhood days. I never missed an episode of Masters of the Universe. Teela is wonderful. Thumb on like! Amaizing
So happy you enjoyed, Isaias! We tried to capture the spirit of the original series and the thrill of playing with the toys. So we’re glad you felt that spirit! Please feel free to share the film with all your friends and fellow MOTU fans!
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.
Happy to hear you enjoyed it, Steve! We agree - Emily would be fantastic! As for Red Sonja, we agree too but they already cast the actress and have filmed the new movie. So missed out on that! And Dynazty rules! Please share with all your friends and fellow MOTU fans!
Thanks, Leo! It's an admittedly low hurdle to jump, but we're happy we could capture some of the spirit! Please feel to give us a like and share to all your fellow MOTU fans!
@@leonelmarconi Thanks, Leo! The views are climbing fast the last few hours, so we're excited to see what happens! If we're able to do more, Trap Jaw is a personal favorite and actually, probably easier to pull off than some of the other monsters and minions. So good call!
Ha! Sometimes, when you know a line works... you got to go with what works as an homage for the initiated. ;) Hope you enjoyed, and please feel free to share with your friends!
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.
Thanks for the appreciation and the love, Lord of the Glass Cube! I'm sure there will be a lot of variety on display in regards to the character and opportunities afforded Teela in the final project. We hope so too at least! Thanks for watching and do feel free to share!
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.
¡Gracias por el amor y estamos felices de que hayas visto! ¡Quizás si somos capaces de hacer otra película MOTU, podemos tener su cabello recogido en un moño para empezar la próxima vez! ¡Por favor comparte con tus amigos!
Great video. Definitely would watch it if it was a full length movie. Teela did a great job of kicking butt and claiming the Sword of Power. Also she the Sorceress of Castle Greyskull on top of being a great female hero.
Thank you for all the love, Nathan! We're happy you enjoyed the film and the little tale that was told. Please feel free to share it with all your friends and fellow MOTU fans!
Thanks, Steven! It's actually over 93% likes vs. dislikes, so you're in the MAJOR majority of those who like it. So have no shame! We're glad you enjoyed it, as we felt it captured a lot of the spirit of the original MOTU. If we ever get a shot again to play in the MOTU sandbox again, we shall! Please give us a like and a share to your friends!
@@BohemianIndustries Hey I have no shame. I liked it. It was more than I expected, better than I thought it would be, and just fun. I am on your side LOL
Thank you for the love, JD! We appreciate it, and hope we get a chance to make some more and with a bigger budget! Feel free to share with your friends!
@@emilyanneashby I think big muscles will only be need if you call the power and CGI will make it! XD Even the MCU-Heros have help from CGI! And yeah steroids! And its nothing personally but I would love to see a Teela with a view more muscles! : ) I dont like it that the female MCU-Heros looks more like Models than fighting Heroines! This would be no Problem for me if the male heros dosnt looks like Steroidmonsters! XD For me it is some sort of sexism! But in your shortfilm all looks right because even the men are no steroid monsters! ; )
Thank you, and we’re glad you watched! We 100% agree and it’s why we made the film - it is Emily’s audition! We’ve posted to share with the world and get the fan base behind her too! Please feel free to share with all your friends and spread the word that Teela has been found!
Welcome back! Glad they enjoyed, and stay tuned for something potentially BIGGER coming soon. We're working on something special, but timing is going to be key. In the meantime, we hope Emily gets a fair shot as well!
We love that shot and delivery too! She had to be powerful for that moment, and we think she delivered! Thank you for enjoying the film and please feel free to share it with all your friends and fellow MOTU lovers. The more who watch and dig it like you the better!
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.
Emily is a total warrior babe and can take on Red Sonja AND Teela! Sadly, Red Sonja was already cast and they filmed the movie - if only we knew! Thanks for watching and please share!
Thanks, Peter! We're glad you dug it and that the film was able to exceed your expectations! Please share it with all your friends and fellow MOTU fans!
We think she'd be a dream Red Sonja too, but alas, they cast that and filmed it last year before this audition film for Teela was done. So maybe she can land Teela with this? We'll see! Thanks for watching!
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).
We're happy to hear that you keep returning to watch the film, HardMode, and we have to agree - we like it more and more each time we see it too (but we're biased)! We've also found you're not a lone and a lot of people are really enjoying it! We put a lot of thought into the design, and would have done even more had we had more money in the budget - so we're happy we were able to produce something that pleases most of the fans. Please feel free to share the film with your friends, subscribers, and anyone else you think would enjoy it!
Glad you loved it, Watskuki, and we need more too - which is why we're currently gathering our forces to create something even BIGGER in the MOTU world.
Thank you, Jacen! We're very happy you dug it, and please feel free to share it with your friends so they can feel the power of Teela and Grayskull as well! You rock!
Very well done. Thanks for staying true to Teela’s look and proving that those costumes can work perfectly well in live action. And like I said before, this chick is a badass on her own without any of the BS agendas modern Hollywood loves to push. I’d love to see a future follow up with a true to the original version of He-man.
We'd all love to see a little He-Man! Maybe we can do another one down the road and bring in a lot more characters! Glad you enjoyed and please feel free to share!
My verdict after my first watch is: Teela has arrived!!! Personally this is exactly the tone I hope they go for with the Netflix movie, gritty, dark and barbaric, like Masters of the Universe was meant to be, from the very beginning! And Emily Ashby in the role of Teela will certainly fit that aesthetic wonderfully! She has my attention now! Masterful and Powerful work!
Thank you! We couldn't agree more! We'd love a chance to talk to the powers that be at Netflix ourselves as we have some fun ideas in line with what you're talking about. For now, we'll enjoy this and glad you did too! Please share share share!
@@jonathanmyers2867 Emily is always working out... this is Emily just showing up fresh "out of the box" you can say. Her uncle was a bronze medal winner at the 1992 Olympics, so it's in her blood!
Very, very well done. Everything about this screams AWESOME! I've enjoyed the cartoon & action figures since my childhood. From that standpoint, everyone that had anything to do with this shows that they care about what fans might think and certainly gives us something to look forward to with the possible film. I wish Emily success with this, and I truly would enjoy seeing this video continue as a series. Great job to all that had their hand in this.
Thank you for the very kind words, and we're thrilled you dug it, Jay! We think it's AWESOME too! Ha! We definitely wanted this to be a great experience for the fans outside of the audition aspect of it, and to that end we're happy that you saw the effort and the joy we had in making it the ride we think it is. We also agree - we'd LOVE to see this as a series, and would be overjoyed if we could be involved in it somehow. Please feel free to share the film with your friends and fellow MOTU fans! Thank you again!
Sometimes you got to leave everyone wanting more, Game_Ender! But we're glad you enjoyed it enough to want a full film! Perhaps down the road the powers that be may grant us the chance - until then, thank you! Please feel free to share it with all your friends!
Excellent work, people!!!!! Why can't big movie companies create a film like this? Why do they have to change costumes, plots, or physical characteristics? Kudos for this superb work! Keep them coming, please!!!! We as fans will be forever grateful....!!!
Thrilled that you loved the film, Sergio, and we're very grateful for your kind words and support! We definitely have some cool ideas in mind, so definitely stay tuned as we plan to bring some more fun to the table while also including some of our other past works as well on this channel. Thank you for watching and definitely feel free to share it with all your friends and fellow MOTU lovers!
Thanks, Mr., Burrito! We appreciate it and glad you dug it! Please feel free to share with your friends too and spread the word that the power of Grayskull is alive!
would you believe that as I type this comment there’s a livestream (Mega Jay Retro) with six different YT content creators talking about news of MOTU being cancelled 🫤
Hopefully if the new movie rocks it'll kickstart a new love for He-Man around the world (although we wouldn't mind havin ga crack at it)! We're glad you liked ours so much, and please feel free to share it with all your friends!
We're glad you dug the film, Mati, and love your profile photo! Don't tempt Teela - she may be up for it! Ha! Please feel free to share with all your fellow MOTU friends and fans!
Maybe with a little more budget next time we can show what happens? ;) Glad you enjoyed it and maybe we can do another one with many more characters in the future. Thanks for the watch!
Glad you still liked it and thank you! We figured we'd have some fun with the MOTU mythos as the goal of the project was to showcase Emily in the role of Teela, so we thought we'd make her as powerful as we could for that purpose. Definitely not trying to shake anything up with the canon, just having a bit of fun! Do feel free to share with your friends!
We all love He-Man! Hopefully we can get involved with more MOTU projects in the future and bring in He-Man to join our Teela! Thanks for enjoying, and please feel free to share with your friends!
Of course you wish you were being squeezed by said thighs. Take a number and get in line. FYI - it's actually not a fan film, there's info about it in the top pinned comment. Thanks for the watch.
Hello Jonathan and Emily, you guys did an amazing job with this. Emily is perfect for Teela and embodies the character in every sense. Like so many others I was a child of the 80's and grew up with the original He-Man and She-Ra cartoons after school. I had almost all of the toys when I was a kid, Christmas of 1984 I got Castle Grayskull and in 85 I got Snake Mountain. As a lifelong Masters of the Universe fan those are some of my favorite memories. This short film just helped add to the Nostalgia factor of them. Emily raising the sword and saying the words was just icing on the cake to a very awesome video. Speaking of which, thinking about it, Emily could pull off She-Ra as well maybe? Just a thought. As a creative writer and aspiring author, I also do Masters of the Universe fanfiction from time to time. For a few years now I have also been part of a few of the Masters of the Universe fan groups on Facebook and even run one of my own on there called The Realm of Grayskull. Please feel free to check out the group we would love to have you guys there. And by all means bring the video. Again awesome work on the video, can't wait to see more from you guys. Truly amazing stuff. I've always said that stuff like this should be done by fans, who get the characters, know the material and want to do things the right way. Congratulations on this, good luck with your future endeavors and I wish you both all the best. And I will just say this... by the power of Grayskull!! For the honor of Grayskull!! :)
Thank you for your thoughtful message and support, OlSkool! We agree that Emily as Teela is the right choice: strong, headstrong, beautiful, and more! We're hoping we can make some more and really push some epic ideas we have that will bring more of the classic characters everyone loves into the fold, and who knows... maybe Emily can rock She-Ra in the future too? I went ahead and joined the group on FB, and will definitely share the video. Thanks for the love, and of course, YOU have the power too! Feel free to share with all your friends and fellow MOTU friends too, and gain, thank you for sharing your story with us!

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!

To bohemian industries and to miss Emily Ashby I wish you great success and a great future
She'll get the role!!!!
So did she get the part for the role?
@@starscream512 it's still in process and won't be announced for a while. But we're all happy with the shot we took here for it regardless of what happens. Of course, the film could be cancelled or even postponed again as well, which would be a bummer.
That is the beauty of "fan film". You gotta appreciate it because you never know what gems you will see.
We're glad you enjoyed and appreciated the film, Gio! Please feel free to like it and share with your friends!
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.
Happy to hear you dug it, Morgan! Thanks for the kind words, and please feel free to give us a like and share with all your fellow MOTU fans and friends! Appreciate it!
Hollywood is a real deception. Indie movie doing what the "great directors" NEVER will do. Epic movie! Congratulations from the bottom of my heart!
Thank you, Luciano! We're happy to see how much you enjoyed the film - and who knows, maybe this is the start of even bigger and better things! Please give us a like and share to all your friends!
@@BohemianIndustries I´ve already shared this pearl with all my friends and family! Now a little challenge for you: I dare you to do something amazing like this Teela´s movie with Thundercats, Silverhawks or Dungeons & Dragons!
PS: Keep producing movies about He-man´s universe either!🤩😜
@@cybermindman So happy to hear it! Thank you for the challenge! We shall see, but I like it! We are writing something right now inspired by D&D, and we have a music video we're discussing with an artist that will involve either MOTU characters or Thundercats. So stay tuned!
The problem is that Hollywood is cheaping out on any productions that are not part of well established franchises.
That’s because only such franchises make big profit these days; so they don’t want to risk suffer loss.
This is why movies such as “dragonball evolution” and “mortal kombat (2021) sucked.
This is why directors are supposed to be important to tv shows and movies. What gets made is "their vision" of the script. A bad director can end up with an action movie with shaky cam and jump cuts. Urgh.
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!
Haha!!! Well thank you for sticking up for me 😉 and so glad you liked it!!!!!!
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!
We're glad you enjoyed, Enjoyer! We feel she really embodied the part physically as well and could realistically go toe to toe as well. Happy you dug it and feel free to give it a like and a share!
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!
Thank you for the great message and the sincere love, motudrew! We feel all of it! We couldn't agree more that Emily would be the perfect Teela, and it's our hope this all can at least get her officially in serious consideration! We also feel the same way that no matter what, we believe we made something that's a lot of fun and captures the spirit and thrill of MOTU! Please share with all your friends and fellow MOTU fans! Let's do it, Emily!
THAT transformation!! THAT’S how they need to do it!! Huge, fast, epic, explosive and powerful!! Not rainbow lights like Sailor Moon.
Glad you enjoyed the big moment!
HE MANs the boss though
@@grantg7457 this will never be denied. Give our statement at the top a read, it’ll explain everything. I promise. You’ll also probably dig it more as a result.
Teela versus He Man!
@@grantg7457 we'd pay to watch some of that: "The Battle for the Sword!"
This short film is amazing. Hollywood should take notes. 😅😅
Better than any Disney movie of the last 3 years. Thank you 🙏
Wow! Authentic Teela. I hope she stars in the new movie.
She's great and we hope so too! Thank you for the love, Vinny! Please feel free to share the film with your friends!
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!
Thank you for having us, Shawn! It's awesome that your daughter liked the film, and it makes us proud knowing that she liked Emily's take on Teela as well! Here's hoping we can kick it on the podcast sometime again in the future!
Thanks so much Shawn!! We were so honored to be on the podcast 🥹🥹 so glad that your daughter loved it as well! ❤
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 .
Thank you, Christopher! We're glad you loved it and enjoyed Emily as Teela. We couldn't agree more! We'll always have a soft spot for the '87 movie, but... yeah... we need something fresh and new! Hopefully the new movie happens and we all don't have to wait too long, especially Emily! Please feel free to share with all your friends and MOTU fans!
@@BohemianIndustries You're welcome. I hope some people at Mattel see this video!!!
@@christopherparker7520 Us too, Christopher! It would be a blast to play in the sandbox again in any capacity!
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.
Thank you, Mr. D! Glad we have a fan and supporter in you and fingers crossed for Emily for sure! We LOVE Elwon as well, and you're so right - he's Mr. Fantasy! Feel free to share and keep spreading the word!
Gotta say this is better than Revelation.
Emily makes a great Teela. Hope she gets the part.
Thank you, Nerdic, and happy you enjoyed! We hope she does too! Please feel free to share with your friends!
The casting is flawless. Visuals are flawless. I want to see her Ina a movie already
Thank you, A Quarius! We're so glad you enjoyed it, and we want to see her in a movie already too! Please feel free to share it with your friends, family, and all the other MOTU fans out there!
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.
Thank you for watching and for enjoying the film! We definitely appreciate your feedback - I think if we had more money and time we could have explored more ideas for the staff, but we based ours mainly on the Tweeterhead Studios Teela staff. We bust the staff up good though during filming, so if we ever make a follow-up, we'll definitely "upgrade" the staff with a fresh take. Please feel free to share with your friends and other MOTU fans!
OMG! Please make more Masters of the Universe films. This was AWESOME!!
Thank you for the praise and the support, Billy! It means a lot to us, and we're happy this film thrilled you and brought the goods! We're hoping we can make more too, and if we can hit a million views, we have some plans to make something really epic soon! So please share with all your friends and spread the word!
This actress really brought this character to life.
We agree, Jerod, and as we're biased we think she makes the perfect Teela! Glad you enjoyed!
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. 👍🏻
Thank you and we're so happy you were able to enjoy the film! Happy you're a real MOTU fan who gets it, doesn't mind Teela kickin' a little ass, and digs the journey. Please feel free to share!
Her transformation was done amazingly well!
Thank you, Noir! Glad you dug that part! Please feel free to share!
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.
Appreciate the feedback and thank you for watching, Sean. Please feel free to give us a like and a share!
I'd watch that if it were a series. Great production and stunt choreography.
We've be over the moon if we were able to get a series made with this as a proof of concept (but we'd definitely make it He-Man and the Masters of the Universe if so!), but of course, we're happy with what we were able to do with this too! We're glad you enjoyed the film, and please give us a like and share with your friends and fellow MOTU fans!
Super cool Power effects at the end and awesome artwork in the credits.
We're glad you enjoyed, Thorsten! Please feel free to give us a like and to share the film out to your friends - we'd appreciate it!
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.
We're happy you enjoyed the film, Daniel! We definitely wanted to make Teela strong and not some damsel in distress. She picks fights, gets into trouble, but still gets out of it without needing to be saved. That's our Teela! Please feel free to share it with your friends!
Somehow this is more respectful than what was put out a few years ago. Well done!
We're glad you dug it, Mark, and we appreciate your kind words! Please feel free to share it with all your friends!
I would like to see Emily Ashby to get the part of Teela. Good job.👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much! We hope so too! Please share!
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!
Thanks for the kind words and support, Sardalamit! We appreciate it, and here's hoping it helps Emily get a serious look - all the support from everyone so far doesn't hurt! It'll be fun to finally see the MOTU film either way! Please feel free to share!
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.
We're so glad you you enjoyed the journey and the film, George! We're especially happy you dug Emily's performance as Teela! She is the ONE! Please feel free to like the film and to share it with all your friends and fellow MOTU fans - and tell them to give a chance if reluctant. We know most will be thrilled! Also, we hope this brought back some fond memories of playing with those classic figures like it did myself!
@@BohemianIndustries I've been around in the entertainment industry a bit. I've been published for my work in the gaming field and been an off the books consultant for an MMORPG.
I'm an ex professional wrestler too. My experiences have made me picky. Once the bar is set it's hard to fall in love with anything underneath it.
As much as I am a purist and wouid love to see you guys do another one with Prince Adam or even evolve the story to the point he ends up with the sword, I loved it.
Emily's portrayal was amazing. It was like she stepped right out of Masters of the Universe. I liked it better than Chelsea Field's performance in the Masters of the Universe movie.
This is the way Teela needs to be portrayed instead of that horrible Netflix animated series
Glad you dug our Teela and film, Solomon! Please feel free to share it with all your friends and spread the word!
They are crazy if they don't give her the part!!! Best Teela ever!
Glad you enjoyed the film and our Teela, Clark! We're hoping she gets it too when the film eventually happens! Please share with your friends!
Emily is gorgeous and a badass! I love the costume and the fight choreography was awesome! Great work!
Thank you, Rebekah! We're glad you enjoyed! Please feel free to share with your friends and of course, looking forward to seeing your new snake armor soon too!
Thanks Rebekah!!! ☺️ means a lot!!! Super stoked to see all your future costumes as well!!
Fan made and independent films are the best
They certainly have a lot of heart! Thank you for enjoying this one.
@@BohemianIndustries they have few reign of what they do

True
@@draconicdemigod9696 happy that you enjoyed our film, Draconic! Please feel free to share it with your friends!
I could see Skeletor using dark magiks to turn those bandits into Beastman, Tri-klops and Trap Jaw
This is the best short movie i have seen in a long time. Hollywood should pay this woman 20 million and get her to do a new movie instead of all of the garbage we have now. Also, the Barbarian guy has a Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson kind of look. He even does the same smirks 😏, and sort of reminded me of the Scorpion King 🦂. I would gladly pay to see this movie and sponsor it. Have a nice day!
You rock, Joe! Thank you for the love and your attention to detail. The guy playing Bonan actually DID play Dwayne Johnson's double in a couple of films, so that's a good notice! Would love for you to sponsor a movie for us! We have a new project in the works, but we need to see what Amazon does with theirs first before we go full speed ahead! Got our buddy who is an Academy Award winning makeup artist on board to make Skeletor for us too... we shall see!
Wow! I really had no idea that Bonan the Barbarian had played as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, but it does shows. This man should be back to remake the Scorpion King and not just choose any random bulky muscle guy as Hollywood's goons are doing lately. Even South Park has been doing a better job than Hollywood, and that there should already tell you the type of crisis that we are dealing with these days. Also, this girl here is perfect as Teela, we don't need Sydney Sweeney with red hair to do this part, as someone more "neutral" and less known to the public can do it better as we need these skills here and not a drama script, but instead action adventure. 😀
I too am a voice actor and do video games voice acting and I also imitate Skeletor's voice. If you ever need a Skeletor voice I'll be around and even do it for free. I love art and that is the reason why, as today artistic and cinematic values are being lost and being replaced by third rate mediocrity & political garbage. Even Thomas Jefferson would be horrified if he lived these says and saw all of the mess that this new generation is doing. We must retake the old artistic values and keep modern politics away from anything Fantasy & Sci-Fi related. 😀👍
Really impressive camera work, production value, sfx and vfx. Kudos to the whole crew.
Thank you! We're glad you dug it and we appreciate the kind words greatly. Please feel free to share with your friends
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 😍💕
We're happy you dug the film, Heavy Metal! We agree, we hope that if and when the film is made, it's done with love and respect and excitement! We also agree, Emily as Teela is a babe! Please give a like and share to all your friends and fellow MOTU fans!

OMG, the original Castle Grayskull in the background at 5:10! 😮It is beautyfuuull 🫠
Easter eggs make the film all the more fun! Pleased you caught it and feel free to share the film with your friends. Thanks for watching!
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!"
Glad you dug the style of the fight and grooved with the scene with Bonan as the meat head he is. Please feel free to share with all your friends so they enjoy the film too!
wow, this story was so good. Wow, congratulations are in order. I loved reminiscing about my childhood days. I never missed an episode of Masters of the Universe. Teela is wonderful. Thumb on like!

So happy you enjoyed, Isaias! We tried to capture the spirit of the original series and the thrill of playing with the toys. So we’re glad you felt that spirit! Please feel free to share the film with all your friends and fellow MOTU fans!
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.
Happy to hear you enjoyed it, Steve! We agree - Emily would be fantastic! As for Red Sonja, we agree too but they already cast the actress and have filmed the new movie. So missed out on that! And Dynazty rules! Please share with all your friends and fellow MOTU fans!

@@leonelmarconi Thanks, Leo! The views are climbing fast the last few hours, so we're excited to see what happens! If we're able to do more, Trap Jaw is a personal favorite and actually, probably easier to pull off than some of the other monsters and minions. So good call!
"if you want it, come and claim it!"
(nerd sense is tingling, I've heard this somewhere before...)
Ha! Sometimes, when you know a line works... you got to go with what works as an homage for the initiated. ;) Hope you enjoyed, and please feel free to share with your friends!
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.
Thanks for the appreciation and the love, Lord of the Glass Cube! I'm sure there will be a lot of variety on display in regards to the character and opportunities afforded Teela in the final project. We hope so too at least! Thanks for watching and do feel free to share!
Great work Emily and Crew! Nice fight choreography.
Thanks, Jack Froste! We're glad you dug the film and Emily as Teela! Feel free to share!
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.
¡Gracias por el amor y estamos felices de que hayas visto! ¡Quizás si somos capaces de hacer otra película MOTU, podemos tener su cabello recogido en un moño para empezar la próxima vez! ¡Por favor comparte con tus amigos!
Excellent power-up scene.
We're glad you enjoyed that, Daniel! Please feel free to give us a little love with a like and share to all your friends! Thanks!
Great video. Definitely would watch it if it was a full length movie. Teela did a great job of kicking butt and claiming the Sword of Power. Also she the Sorceress of Castle Greyskull on top of being a great female hero.

@@emilyanneashby I think big muscles will only be need if you call the power and CGI will make it! XD
Even the MCU-Heros have help from CGI! And yeah steroids!
And its nothing personally but I would love to see a Teela with a view more muscles! : )
I dont like it that the female MCU-Heros looks more like Models than fighting Heroines! This would be no Problem for me if the male heros dosnt looks like Steroidmonsters! XD
For me it is some sort of sexism!
But in your shortfilm all looks right because even the men are no steroid monsters! ; )
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!
Thank you, and we’re glad you watched! We 100% agree and it’s why we made the film - it is Emily’s audition! We’ve posted to share with the world and get the fan base behind her too! Please feel free to share with all your friends and spread the word that Teela has been found!
@@BohemianIndustries Nice!
I've just re-watched this gem with my 2 daughters. They just loved it! I hope Emily gets the role of Teela in the film, she's absolutely perfect!
Welcome back! Glad they enjoyed, and stay tuned for something potentially BIGGER coming soon. We're working on something special, but timing is going to be key. In the meantime, we hope Emily gets a fair shot as well!
Thank you so much 🥹🥹 I hope this inspired your daughters!! ❤
I ain't gonna lie. When she screamed "I HAVE THE POWER!" I got chills.🤩

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.
Thank you for the love and enjoyment, Jairo! We appreciate it! Please share with your friends and MOTU fans!
All that I have seen, is an actress perfect for the role of Red Sonja in every aspect.
Emily is a total warrior babe and can take on Red Sonja AND Teela! Sadly, Red Sonja was already cast and they filmed the movie - if only we knew! Thanks for watching and please share!
Very good. The acting and fights were better then I thought . Excellent 👏👏👏👍😊
Thanks, Peter! We're glad you dug it and that the film was able to exceed your expectations! Please share it with all your friends and fellow MOTU fans!
Emily as Red Sonja would be perfect casting!
We think she'd be a dream Red Sonja too, but alas, they cast that and filmed it last year before this audition film for Teela was done. So maybe she can land Teela with this? We'll see! Thanks for watching!
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).
We're happy to hear that you keep returning to watch the film, HardMode, and we have to agree - we like it more and more each time we see it too (but we're biased)! We've also found you're not a lone and a lot of people are really enjoying it! We put a lot of thought into the design, and would have done even more had we had more money in the budget - so we're happy we were able to produce something that pleases most of the fans. Please feel free to share the film with your friends, subscribers, and anyone else you think would enjoy it!
Wow!!! I need a second part of this
Glad you loved it, Watskuki, and we need more too - which is why we're currently gathering our forces to create something even BIGGER in the MOTU world.
She's so gorgeous,, I miss teela so much,, 😀☺️
We agree, Joe! Thank you for watching and enjoying Emily as Teela! Please feel free to give us a like and share with your friends!
Brilliant. Loved the look and feel. Teela was done very well.
Thank you, Jacen! We're very happy you dug it, and please feel free to share it with your friends so they can feel the power of Teela and Grayskull as well! You rock!
This was a delight to watch. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it, Jacob! Please feel free to share with your friends so they can enjoy it too!
@@BohemianIndustries Done and done!
Very well done. Thanks for staying true to Teela’s look and proving that those costumes can work perfectly well in live action.
And like I said before, this chick is a badass on her own without any of the BS agendas modern Hollywood loves to push.
I’d love to see a future follow up with a true to the original version of He-man.
Thank you, Paul! We're glad you dug it! It would be great to see He-Man properly again! Please feel free to share with you friends!
@@BohemianIndustries
Already sharing…

Also love the nod to She-ra’s transformation in the animation.
It was Really cool I liked the fight sequence. Well made 👊
First bump back! Thanks for the love, McFly! We appreciate it and please feel free to give us a like and then a share to all your friends!
Cool- wanted to see -HE MAN next
Me too
We'd all love to see a little He-Man! Maybe we can do another one down the road and bring in a lot more characters! Glad you enjoyed and please feel free to share!
I, for one, loved it.
Just the right amount of camp.
Brava!
Happy to feel the love, Marc! Please feel free to give us a like and share with your friends! Thanks for watching!
Very cool, great editing and fighting sequences. Love it
Thank you for making this!!
Thank you, Nick! We're glad you enjoyed! Please feel free to share with your friends!
Choreography was iffy in spots, but overall, I dig it. Emily is great.
We love Emily too (literally), and glad you dug it, Hitman. Please feel free to give us a like and share with your friends, and thanks for watching!
@@BohemianIndustries Already liked and favorited after watching it. I'll be sure to share it too.
@@HitmanZeroX0087 your sainthood is now assured! Thanks!
@@BohemianIndustries Right on. I accept the honor. :)
My verdict after my first watch is:
Teela has arrived!!!
Personally this is exactly the tone I hope they go for with the Netflix movie, gritty, dark and barbaric, like Masters of the Universe was meant to be, from the very beginning!
And Emily Ashby in the role of Teela will certainly fit that aesthetic wonderfully! She has my attention now!
Masterful and Powerful work!
Thank you! We couldn't agree more! We'd love a chance to talk to the powers that be at Netflix ourselves as we have some fun ideas in line with what you're talking about. For now, we'll enjoy this and glad you did too! Please share share share!
Thank you so so much!! That means a lot to hear you enjoyed it , felt Teela come to life and you feel it’s the right tone!! 🥰
I just fell in love with Teela❤
We're ALL in love with Teela! Glad you enjoyed, Carlos - feel free to share your new love for Teela to all your friends!
Emily Ashby is a masterpiece for playing Teela! I love it! 😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏⚔⚔⚔⚔
Thank you again for all the love, Jonathan!!
@@BohemianIndustriesDoes Emily Ashby doing some workouts that she did before playing Teela?
@@jonathanmyers2867 Emily is always working out... this is Emily just showing up fresh "out of the box" you can say. Her uncle was a bronze medal winner at the 1992 Olympics, so it's in her blood!
@@BohemianIndustries I see. I can't wait for the Olympics in Paris 2024!
I don't know that I would watch a movie about Teela, but great job on the staff, props and costumes.
Very, very well done. Everything about this screams AWESOME! I've enjoyed the cartoon & action figures since my childhood. From that standpoint, everyone that had anything to do with this shows that they care about what fans might think and certainly gives us something to look forward to with the possible film. I wish Emily success with this, and I truly would enjoy seeing this video continue as a series. Great job to all that had their hand in this.
Thank you for the very kind words, and we're thrilled you dug it, Jay! We think it's AWESOME too! Ha! We definitely wanted this to be a great experience for the fans outside of the audition aspect of it, and to that end we're happy that you saw the effort and the joy we had in making it the ride we think it is. We also agree - we'd LOVE to see this as a series, and would be overjoyed if we could be involved in it somehow. Please feel free to share the film with your friends and fellow MOTU fans! Thank you again!
@@BohemianIndustries Already emailing the link out.
Oh hell nah!!! Ya'll can't leave us like this, we need a full film, c'mon now 🤦🏻♂️
Sometimes you got to leave everyone wanting more, Game_Ender! But we're glad you enjoyed it enough to want a full film! Perhaps down the road the powers that be may grant us the chance - until then, thank you! Please feel free to share it with all your friends!
Excellent work, people!!!!! Why can't big movie companies create a film like this? Why do they have to change costumes, plots, or physical characteristics? Kudos for this superb work! Keep them coming, please!!!! We as fans will be forever grateful....!!!
Thrilled that you loved the film, Sergio, and we're very grateful for your kind words and support! We definitely have some cool ideas in mind, so definitely stay tuned as we plan to bring some more fun to the table while also including some of our other past works as well on this channel. Thank you for watching and definitely feel free to share it with all your friends and fellow MOTU lovers!
i appreciate the creativity for the IP
Thank you, Scott! Please feel free to share with your friends!
*MORE* Masters of the universe related videos please!!! 😀
Thank you again, Heavy Metal for being such a supporter! We're working on something special! ;)
Ohhh woww, not disappointed at all. Very well choreographed fight too. Very fun to watch good stuff
Glad you dug it, Albert, and thank you for the love! Feel free to share with your friends as well if you'd be so kind!
WHOA!!!!! 😵 nice job!
Thanks, Mr., Burrito! We appreciate it and glad you dug it! Please feel free to share with your friends too and spread the word that the power of Grayskull is alive!
would you believe that as I type this comment there’s a livestream (Mega Jay Retro) with six different YT content creators talking about news of MOTU being cancelled 🫤
@@barnacleburrito3728 that would suck! Hopefully that's just a false rumor going around, but we'll see!
I love stuff like this- beyond class B in budget, but great fun to watch.
Thank you for the love Monicam. We aim to entertain. Thanks for watching!
A short, but well-played fan-film! Bonan was funny, lol!
Glad you enjoyed, and that Bonan tickled your fancy! Thank you for watching.
I swear fan made films are way better then Hollywood's
Hopefully if the new movie rocks it'll kickstart a new love for He-Man around the world (although we wouldn't mind havin ga crack at it)! We're glad you liked ours so much, and please feel free to share it with all your friends!
Spectacular!!! WOW, such an amazing coreography!!! Teela can beat me up whenever she wants ❤️😍
We're glad you dug the film, Mati, and love your profile photo! Don't tempt Teela - she may be up for it! Ha! Please feel free to share with all your fellow MOTU friends and fans!
@@BohemianIndustries I’ll take her invitation any day she wants jajajaja ❤️ amazing guys! And yes, already shared it!!
I grew up with He-Man MOTU, I enjoyed it. Would have liked to see the transformation :)
Maybe with a little more budget next time we can show what happens? ;) Glad you enjoyed it and maybe we can do another one with many more characters in the future. Thanks for the watch!
WOW this Is freaking awesome Good work
Thank you for the love, Dianagales! We're glad you enjoyed and please feel free to share!
That was fun! I have mixed feelings about the ending, but the credits were amazing and made up for it!! Excellent job to everyone involved!!
Glad you still liked it and thank you! We figured we'd have some fun with the MOTU mythos as the goal of the project was to showcase Emily in the role of Teela, so we thought we'd make her as powerful as we could for that purpose. Definitely not trying to shake anything up with the canon, just having a bit of fun! Do feel free to share with your friends!
the film is cool.... but... He-Man forever!
We all love He-Man! Hopefully we can get involved with more MOTU projects in the future and bring in He-Man to join our Teela! Thanks for enjoying, and please feel free to share with your friends!
This is pretty awesome!
Glad you enjoyed, Mark! Please feel free to give us a like and by all means share with your friends!
@@BohemianIndustries gave you a like, sub, and a bunch of shares already! 🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥
@@markwolkotte5253 you are a patron saint! Thank you, Mark!
Teela, with her thunder-thighs, dancing, prancing to a fan made film.
Of course you wish you were being squeezed by said thighs. Take a number and get in line. FYI - it's actually not a fan film, there's info about it in the top pinned comment. Thanks for the watch.
Hello Jonathan and Emily, you guys did an amazing job with this. Emily is perfect for Teela and embodies the character in every sense. Like so many others I was a child of the 80's and grew up with the original He-Man and She-Ra cartoons after school. I had almost all of the toys when I was a kid, Christmas of 1984 I got Castle Grayskull and in 85 I got Snake Mountain. As a lifelong Masters of the Universe fan those are some of my favorite memories. This short film just helped add to the Nostalgia factor of them. Emily raising the sword and saying the words was just icing on the cake to a very awesome video. Speaking of which, thinking about it, Emily could pull off She-Ra as well maybe? Just a thought. As a creative writer and aspiring author, I also do Masters of the Universe fanfiction from time to time. For a few years now I have also been part of a few of the Masters of the Universe fan groups on Facebook and even run one of my own on there called The Realm of Grayskull. Please feel free to check out the group we would love to have you guys there. And by all means bring the video. Again awesome work on the video, can't wait to see more from you guys. Truly amazing stuff. I've always said that stuff like this should be done by fans, who get the characters, know the material and want to do things the right way. Congratulations on this, good luck with your future endeavors and I wish you both all the best. And I will just say this... by the power of Grayskull!! For the honor of Grayskull!! :)
Thank you for your thoughtful message and support, OlSkool! We agree that Emily as Teela is the right choice: strong, headstrong, beautiful, and more! We're hoping we can make some more and really push some epic ideas we have that will bring more of the classic characters everyone loves into the fold, and who knows... maybe Emily can rock She-Ra in the future too? I went ahead and joined the group on FB, and will definitely share the video. Thanks for the love, and of course, YOU have the power too! Feel free to share with all your friends and fellow MOTU friends too, and gain, thank you for sharing your story with us!
OUTSTANDING Work! Good Luck
Thank you! We're glad you dug it! Please feel free to share and spread the word!
Thank you so much!
