Learning with Remy Raystar - ABC - Pilot
"Learning with Remy Raystar" is an educational kids series that follows the adventures of Remy Raystar, a friendly alien explorer, and his sidekicks AID (an AI hologram) and Clay (a robot) as they study planet Earth from their spaceship. In each episode, they broadcast fun lessons about different aspects of Earth and human life to viewers across the universe.
This first episode focuses on teaching the English alphabet. Remy, AID, and Clay go through each letter, explaining its name, sound, and connecting it to an Earth object or concept. They use interactive games, exercises, jokes, and even an original alphabet song to make the learning engaging and memorable. They also consult with Professor Trilax, a wise librarian, who provides interesting facts about the origins and linguistics of the alphabet.
A recurring theme is the importance of friendship, curiosity, and embracing what makes you unique. For example, one segment has a story about the letter X feeling left out until the letter Y reminds X that ending words gives it a special role. The characters frequently encourage viewers to believe in themselves.
With its lighthearted humor, diverse cast, educational content, and uplifting messages about self-esteem and inclusivity, "Learning with Remy Raystar" aims to foster learning and positive values for kids across the universe. The show's innovative framing device of alien explorers allows it to present familiar Earthly topics like the alphabet from a fresh, outside perspective full of wonder and whimsy.

Chase Stewart is a Kansas City native. He had one of his short films "A Cast To Remember" premiere at the KC Film Fest International in 2018. Chase is a father and a loving husband. Chase wanted to make content that his newborn son would one day watch and learn from.
"Learning with Remy Raystar" is a labor of love crafted for my son. When my wife and I learned about my son's rare genetic condition (wiskott aldrich syndrome), this project became a form of therapy during restless nights. It allowed me to focus on creating something positive and educational for his future.
