The World

In college, Ronald Moore’s Captain Kirk dorm room poster prompted teasing, but his passion for the original “Star Trek” has paid off. A few years ago he transformed the sci-fi TV genre when he reimagined the cheesy 1980s “Battlestar Galactica” into a gripping allegory for the War on Terror. Produced by Studio 360’s Eric Molinsky.
