Fan Film Anyone?

Here around the studio/hacienda of late, we’ve been watching a lot of Star Trek… More specifically fan based productions.

Star Trek: New Voyages, and Star Trek: Hidden Frontier are just the top of the list of what we’ve been catching up on of late. And while they’re may be some clunkiness to the CGI, or the rest of the production, the premise of Gene’s vision is there. to create thought-inducing story lines, and create memorable Television for the world to see.

There’s a question that needs to be asked here… Has Paramount, and now Paramount/CBS dropped the ball when it comes to one of the most popular franchise story lines in Television and movie history? Here’s a definite case in point:

New Voyages is receiving help en masse from some major players within the Star Trek Family. Help with production from Ronald B. Moore, to stars George Takei, Walter Koenig, and Grace Lee Whitney, along with writers D.C. Fontana, and David Gerrold who are donating their time and money to help further the continuing voyages of the original series story lines produced by James Cawley’s production company. Cawley Entertainment.

A long with New Voyages, Cawley is also helping to produce a 3 part webisode series called Star Trek: Of God’s And Men conceived and directed by Tim Russ, and Starring himself along with a host of Trek Family to include Nichelle Nichols, Water Koenig, Chase Masterson, Garret Wang, J.G. Hertzler, and many more.

It’s highly recommended to check these productions out!
