Here it is — trailer #1 for our upcoming documentary, UNCONVENTIONAL: The TimeGate / WHOlanta Story! The teaser trailer that we released two weeks ago (on the day of the con’s 20th Anniversary) featured mostly previously unseen archival footage. This trailer highlights newly-shot material and will give you an insight into the story that the documentary will be telling.

UNCONVENTIONAL Teaser Trailer
20 years ago tonight, Doctor Who made its return to British Televisions, and the TimeGate convention held its first-ever event. To celebrate that dual anniversary, here is the teaser trailer for our upcoming documentary, UNCONVENTIONAL: The TimeGate / WHOlanta Story!
Teaser Trailer Coming in ONE WEEK!
We’re very excited to announce that in ONE WEEK — on March 26, 2025, the DAY of our convention’s 20th Anniversary — we will be releasing the first teaser trailer for our new documentary, UNCONVENTIONAL: The TimeGate / WHOlanta Story! We realize that there hasn’t been much in the way of public updates recently, but we’ve been VERY BUSY behind the scenes filming content, combing through archival footage, and storyboarding the final film. We still have a few more key interviews to shoot, and that will be done in the next few weeks. We’ve made a lot of progress on this project and we’re very excited to debut it later this year. And in ONE WEEK you’ll get your first taste of what we’ve been working on!

UNCONVENTIONAL: The TimeGate / WHOlanta Story
Announcing: UNCONVENTIONAL: The TimeGate / WHOlanta Story – a new documentary film coming in 2025.
Way back on March 26, 2005, Susan Rey and R. Alan Siler started a convention called TimeGate. Ten years later, that con morphed into a new entity called WHOlanta. Two different names, but the core of the event remained the same. To celebrate the con’s 20th anniversary, we are proud to announce the upcoming documentary about the history and legacy of that convention, UNCONVENTIONAL: The TimeGate / WHOlanta Story. The film will feature brand new interviews with con-runners, volunteers and guests as well as archival footage and photos never before seen by the public.
To help make this venture possible, we’re asking for a little assistance from our fans and friends. We’re launching a crowdfunding campaign through Indiegogo to help us raise the funds needed to bring this film to our longtime audience and give new audiences the chance to get to experience our convention for the first time. Please consider donating whatever you can to the cause!

Another way you can help is to share video footage with us. If you have footage from any past TimeGate or WHOlanta, and you feel it would add something to our film, please email us at kozmicpress@gmail.com and let us know!
Our plan is to release the film next May with a premiere screening in Atlanta, and we hope to see you all there!
