The Best Fest is Back!

We expect that this will be our Best Fest with our Guests yet! Not only do we have an amazing lineup of celebrity guests to choose from, but we also have the amazing Bonnie Gordon, who will be entertaining us with her music. So be sure to get your tickets early, as each guest only has 9 seats at their table. After the dinner, there will be a mix and mingle with all the guests.

There are three ticket types: Dinner with your chosen celebrity and then the Mix & Mingle, Dinner and the Mix & Mingle, and then just attending the Mix & Mingle.

The Battlestar Galactica “Stranded Warrior” Fan Film to be shown at Shore Leave 46!

We’re excited to announce that InterFleet Broadcasting—the original Battlestar Galactica fan group—is bringing their fan film Stranded Warrior to Shore Leave.

The project is inspired by the 1978 Battlestar Galactica episode “The Lost Warrior,” which originally aired on October 8, 1978. Most fans remember it for Red Eye and the western-style quick-draw showdown with Captain Apollo. But InterFleet took things a step further by exploring the untold backstory of a character who never actually appeared on screen: the original Colonial Warrior, Captain Martin. Using clues from the episode, they created an original prequel that digs into how Martin became stranded on the planet Equellus, why he was never rescued, and why he ultimately chose to build a life and start a family there.

Through crowdfunding support from fellow fans, the team was able to secure a working budget and bring their vision to life. After a focused two-day shoot and extensive CGI work, they produced an award-winning trailer and poster, followed by the completed short film. To date, The Stranded Warrior has earned 22 awards, received 28 official film festival selections, and screened at 22 festivals worldwide—an impressive achievement for a fan-driven project.
