Stra-Tek's list of must-see STAR TREK fan films!

(in no particular order)

Star Trek: Of Gods and Men

Imagine if SyFy channel got the rights to make Star Trek and did a movie with every available and affordable Trek actor they could get hold of during their low-budget mockbuster phase. This brings back so many Trek actors, some as their characters and some as new ones. More callbacks than your average Lower Decks episode and some are deep cuts (recognise Uhura's husband?) Clunky as hell but full of heart. Nostalgia overload, and my favourite fan film.

Star Trek: Renegades

The follow-up to Of Gods and Men skipped from the late 23rd century to the late 24th. Set in 2388 it was intended as a pilot for a fan-funded web series. Alexa Singh and her band of misfits are recruited by Admiral Chekov for a secret mission.

Renegades: The Requiem

Following the Axanar lawsuit (and Renegades was doing similarly-dodgy bootleg Trek merchandising), Renegades VERY hastily (as in, on day two of filming) scrubbed all Star Trek references for their follow-up/tie-up episode. Admiral Chekov became "The Admiral", Tuvok became a human named Kovok. The Andorian character lost her antennae. Uhura became Jemison. The Federation became the Confederation and Section 31 became Sector 6 - all while continuing the storyline from the previous, Star Trek-set adventure.

Star Trek: Horizon

Set during the era of Star Trek: Enterprise and mostly using green screens (very well disguised with JJ Abrams Star Trek '09-style lens flares and shaky cam), a new cast of characters on board the Discovery NX-05 are sent across time and space during the Earth/Romulan war. Ties in with the Iconians, Future Guy and manages action scenes with very little budget. The Axanar drama scuppered the planned sequel, and the creator has gone on to original projects.

Star Trek: First Frontier

Extremely clunky but charming, this is the first voyage of the USS Enterprise under Captain Robert April (who is now an American unlike the British accented James Doohan-voiced character in The Animated Series' "The Counter Clock Incident")

Star Trek: Continues

Star Trek Continues is an entire 4th season of The Original Series. The storytelling and presentation is very authentic to the original show with a few exceptions: a new ship's counsellor character played by the Captain's then-girlfriend, and that almost all episodes are sequels to TOS stories which almost never happened in the classic show. Scotty is played by Chis Doohan, son of James who played Scotty in TOS. Sulu is the late Grant Imahara of Mythbusters fame. Lots of familiar faces show up. Sadly tainted by Vic Mignoga's real life scandals, but *if* you can look past that, well worth watching. The link above is my favourite episode, the "Mirror, Mirror" sequel.

Star Trek New Voyages/Phase II

The grandfather of modern fan films. Some episodes are well worth watching, others not so much. It went from a group of friends having a LARP to semi-professional episodes with so much behind the scenes drama someone could probably write a book about one day. "To Serve All My Days" and "World Enough and Time" are their best episodes.

James Cawley's sets are now the Official Star Trek Set Tour in Ticonderoga, NY.

This list is uncomplete, there are LOTS more awesome fanfilms out there!

Dishonourable Unmention:

Axanar. Here is why.

There’s actually two Star Trek franchises, one where the Dominion War happened and affected the universe (DS9), and one where it didn’t (every other show)

When Jadzia was killed off, I was angry at Terry for leaving. When she got the role in the sitcom “Becker” so quickly it looked to an outsider much like she said. Or that a better offer came along and she’d abandoned DS9. But I was wrong, like a lot of people back then.

A few years ago she said for the first time I can recall that she’d wanted to stay in a reduced role. And that the powers that be said “No, all or nothing.” I couldn’t believe it. I was so mad at all of them; Behr, Moore, Berman.

But it wasn’t all of them. Not Moore. Not Behr. It was just Berman and/or the studio. But the others didn’t even know what was going on! No one but Terry and Berman knew.

Berman of course denies it, but then what do you expect? There are dozens of stories about him being difficult and anal. None about Terry being difficult or greedy. Terry willingly gave up acting for over a decade to raise her son, and is only just now trying to get back into things.

Oh and that last paragraph from Berman? How you can’t do a reduced role because you want to do movies? Yeah. Colm Meaney had that arrangement from day one. They arranged his shooting schedule to give him weeks off at a time. So he could keep doing film roles. So that’s just a fucking blatant lie from Berman.

I really hope no one lets this stuff alter their love for Trek. You see here that the other creative people on DS9 didn’t know about what was happening and were outraged to find out after. That they would have stopped it.

Ira Behr, whom I’ve always respected, became visibly ill according to Terry herself. I’ve no doubt he’d have quit in protest if he’d known at the time what was happening. So let that be the thing you remember most: that whatever horse shit Berman might have done, there were good people who did stand up to him (on other occasions) and would have here if they’d known.

In TNG, Gates McFadden was fired for season 2 by Maurice Hurley for complaining about sexism. Patrick Stewart threatened to quit if she wasn’t brought back and Hurley let go. There are many examples of the good people standing up for what was right on the various Trek shows. Remember that. Remember all the good. It doesn’t erase the bad, but it shows that good people who care can make a difference and do more often than not.
