Join us in LA for a one-night-only screening of Beam Me Up, Sulu—with a Q&A with the cast and filmmakers.

Picture this: 1985. George Takei—yes, THE George Takei from Star Trek—ventures deep into the California forest with a passionate group of fans to create something extraordinary. They made a student film together. And then? The footage DISAPPEARED. Just... gone. Vanished into thin air for nearly FOUR DECADES.

But here's where it gets amazing: Beam Me Up, Sulu has done the impossible—they've found it! This isn't just some dusty reel gathering cobwebs. This is a TIME CAPSULE of fan dedication, a testament to representation when Asian Americans were fighting to be seen, and a powerful reminder of how far we've come—and how far we still need to go—in the battle for inclusion both on our screens and in our world.

And YOU can be part of history! This is a ONE-NIGHT-ONLY EVENT—your exclusive chance to witness this remarkable rediscovery! But wait, it gets BETTER! After the screening, stick around for an unmissable talkback featuring an absolutely stellar lineup: Ian Alexander from Star Trek Discovery, Phil Yu (author of Rise: A Pop History of Asian America), civil rights activist Eric Greene, and the brilliant directors behind this documentary, Timour Gregory & Sasha Schneider.

This is more than a screening—it's a celebration of resilience, community, and the fans who refused to let their voices be silenced. DON'T MISS THIS!
