Teela (Emily Ashby), a heroic warrior of Eternia, protects the Sword of Power from three wanderers in an action-packed fight to claim its power for themselves.

The short film was produced as a self-tape audition by Emily Ashby and Jonathan Martin for the role of Teela for the announced upcoming Masters of the Universe motion picture. While it is not intended to be a “fan film,” as stated on the Bohemian Industries website, the production team’s hope is that the film will be received well by the Masters of the Universe fan community and the motion picture industry.

TEELA AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE also star Christian Kang Bachini as “Cy-Am,” Halem Medina as “Bonan,” and Elwon Blakly as “Chain Male.” The original music was composed by Gerrit Wunder (CW’s Stargirl, Netflix’s Slumberland), and sound design by 10-time Emmy nominee Patrick Hogan (“Cobra Kai,” “The Umbrella Academy”).

Visual effects created by frequent collaborator Nicholas Fletcher of Tempered Pixel. The stunt coordinator was long time Chinese cinema stunt actor and coordinator Christian ‘Kang” Bachini. The end credits track “Heartless Madness” by Dynazty was used with permission courtesy of AFM Records.

Having caught the full short at FilmQuest last year, it definitely captures that energy and humor that I recall from the original animated series. The action choreography and stuntwork are bonkers. Deadly yet humorous, you’ll be chuckling at times when Cy-Am, Bonan, and Chain Male get their comeuppance. It’s worth checking out.
