In May 2025, something extraordinary happened. After nearly three years of work, a million-dollar plus budget, over forty hours of footage, and countless late nights, The Eagle Obsession was finally completed.

This film is the most personal project I’ve ever undertaken – and yet, in many ways, it’s not just about me. It’s about all of us who grew up in the shadow of the Apollo era, who were raised by both reality and imagination, by the images of astronauts on the Moon and fictional spacecraft flying across our TV screens. It’s about those of us who believed, and still believe, in a future shaped by reason, courage, design, and wonder.

Of course, at the heart of The Eagle Obsession is a fictional vehicle – the Eagle Transporter from the British sci-fi series Space: 1999.

Over the years, I never let go of that vision. And now, after traveling the world, interviewing astronauts, actors, engineers, artists, and fans – and excavating both personal memories and cultural history – I believe I’ve captured something rare: A love letter to a lost time when we believed the future could be both beautiful and real.

The production took me from Arizona to Denmark, to Pinewood Studios in London, and the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Along the way, I connected with people whose work shaped not only my childhood, but the trajectory of science fiction and spaceflight itself. William Shatner, Nick Tate, Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie Duke, Dune author Kevin J. Anderson, and Oscar-winning effects legends Brian Johnson and Bill George – all offered their insights, memories, and dreams.

The film also includes moments that moved me deeply: a reunion between a childhood friend of mine – now a neuroscientist – and Barbara Bain, the actress who inspired her carreer path. And ultimately, to a group of precocious 5th graders who watched Space: 1999 and were who were inspired to create their own Eagles. 

This journey wasn’t just about nostalgia. It was attempt to quantify something fragile and important: the belief that the world can be changed through stories, design, and shared dreams. That science and art feed one another and inspiure the world.

While The Eagle Obsession is now complete, it won’t be widely available just yet. We’re targeting a premiere for Fall 2025, with plans to enter film festivals and secure distribution over the coming months. The official trailer will be available by June 15. I know the wait may feel long, but I promise it will be worth it.

We’re also excited to offer:

• Command Eagle: A premium collectible model inspired by the film and designed for fans who have always dreamed of owning the ultimate version of the Eagle.
• Limited Edition Poster: Created by Star Trek designer John Eaves. A stunning piece of art for collectors and dreamers alike.

This film wouldn’t exist without the support of our backers on Indiegogo and Kickstarter. Your belief in the vision—your belief in me—has meant more than I can ever express. Thank you for helping me make this real.

The Eagle Obsession was never just a documentary. It was a journey to preserve a feeling, a vision, and a truth: that imagination is a force. That the past and future can meet in the present if we build the right bridge. That the dreams of our childhood still matter—and might just shape what’s next.

Thank you for being part of this odyssey.
