Ray Tesi talks Stage Nine Studios.


In 2017, Ray Tesi began production on a Star Trek fan film
entitled Starship Republic. That project is still in the works,
and hopefully will be released in the not-too-distant future.
Making fan films is a passion for Tesi, and that has led him to
take a giant leap of faith with the acquisition of his very own
production space: Stage Nine Studios in Kingsland, Georgia. If
that location sounds familiar, it’s because Star Trek Continues
filmed there. Tesi struck a deal with Vic Mignogna and purchased
the former home of Star Trek Continues, complete with standing
sets and lighting rigs.


In this episode of Continuing Mission, host Tony Robinson is
joined by Tesi to talk about Stage Nine Studios, how he came to
be own these well-known sets, and why having a fully outfitted
studio is a dream come true for this truly avid Star trek fan.
