WHOlanta

It's been a while since we last posted about progress on our documentary. Various life things have gotten in the way. But we're back on track! While at the CONjuration convention today we were finally able to film an interview with TimeGate / WHOlanta president and co-founder Susan Rey! That's Brandon Reed behind the camera. Getting this footage with Susan brings us a big step closer to finishing the filming for this thing. We've still got a few other set ups to do, and hopefully we'll be able to get those soon! Stay tuned for more updates on UNCONVENTIONAL: The TimeGate / WHOlanta Story!

A quick note about the Doctor Who Season 2 finale: This is a global simulcast with the BBC One broadcast, so the new episode won't be available in the US until 10:50am PT / 1:50pm ET. Make sure you tune in to Disney+ for that!

Also, join us right HERE on Wednesday night at 9:00 for a LIVE review of the final episode with the hosts of the Doctor Who A(uton) to Z(ygon) Podcast! More into on that later in the week!

Here it is — trailer #1 for our upcoming documentary, UNCONVENTIONAL: The TimeGate / WHOlanta Story! The teaser trailer that we released two weeks ago (on the day of the con’s 20th Anniversary) featured mostly previously unseen archival footage. This trailer highlights newly-shot material and will give you an insight into the story that the documentary will be telling. We debuted this trailer on April 5 at the Stellar Fest convention to an enthusiastic audience. The documentary will be released at a premiere screening in Atlanta later this year!

We haven't posted updates on our documentary project in a while, but rest assured we've been BUSY behind the scenes! Tomorrow, March 26, is our convention's 20th Anniversary -- as well as the 20th Anniversary of the relaunch of Doctor Who on British television with the episode "Rose." We're going to celebrate that occasion with the release of our teaser trailer for the film! We plan to debut our full trailer on April 5 at the Stellar Fest convention. But tomorrow, March 26 at 11am Eastern, you'll get your first preview of what we've been working on. Check back tomorrow!

In case you haven’t heard, there is a new convention starting up in Atlanta called Stellar Fest! It’s a fan-run science fiction convention that’s happening April 4-6, 2025. There are dedicated tracks to Doctor Who, Star Trek, and Star Wars, plus there will be two OtherWorlds tracks! There will be lots of programming, fun activities, performers, and a great dealer room! And the BEST thing is that for the first year, admission is only $25.00!!!! Get full information at https://stellarfest.org/

And I am running the Doctor Who track! We’ve got lots of great panel and programming activities in mind, but there’s room for more! If you’d like to lead or suggest a panel for the Doctor Who track (or any of the other tracks), submit your ideas at https://stellarfest.org/submit-panel/

I think it’s going to be a fun weekend! Plus, we’ll be debuting the full trailer for our new documentary—UNCONVENTIONAL: The TimeGate/WHOlanta Story—at the con! You don’t want to miss that!

I hope you’ll make it to Stellar Fest next year. This is a chance to have a big WHOlanta reunion!!

Last weekend we were at CONjuration and filmed some new interviews for our documentary! The first was with longtime TimeGate/WHOlanta attendee Anita Thomaston talking about meeting Mary Tamm and the friendship that they formed; the second was CONjuration and Stellar Fest organizers Chris and Angela Seckinger telling us about some of their favorite moments from our con. There's only 3 DAYS LEFT to contribute to our funding campaign!

DOCUMENTARY UPDATE: We've lined up an interview with everyone's favorite Enterprise officer, Lt. Moxie Magnus (or, more accurately, her creator, Brantley Moate)! She'll be graciously taking some time away from her duties as Chief Cosmetologist and beaming in from the 22nd Century to share her memories of TimeGate / WHOlanta! We'll be shooting this interview sometime in the next few weeks. You'll see it ALL in UNCONVENTIONAL: The TimeGate / WHOlanta Story next May!

As you may have seen, we’ve announced a brand new documentary, UNCONVENTIONAL: The TimeGate / WHOlanta Story, which we plan to release May 2025 (to coincide with the convention’s 20th Anniversary). We’ve also launched a crowdfunder to help us with the costs of making this film. Please consider donating! We have some fun incentives to reward you for helping us out. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/unconventional-the-timegate-wholanta-story

Our plans for the film are to have a teaser out likely in March of 2025, followed by a full trailer in April. The premiere screening will be held in Atlanta in May (date and location TBA). After that, we hope to make the film available on a streaming service so that everyone can see it.

And if you have any video footage that you’d allow us to use in the film, please let us know at [email protected]!

THANK YOU to the folks who have donated already. We appreciate any assistance you’re able to provide!
