    Tommy, I haven't been active on the board for a few years. I am so impressed with your project. Just watched the Vlogs.......The props, sets, and production look great. I am the MOST excited to see how this turns out. I was a huge Enterprise fan and glad to see someone working in this time period. Wish I was in your area and could help out! Best of luck!

    I'm incredibly impressed by what you were able to accomplish with green screen and CGI. The illusion of space and scale is quite remarkable.

    The performances are also solid. I can't remember how to do spoiler tags, so I'll avoid commenting on specific plot details, but I was glad to see the plot is framed by one of my favorite elements of Trek lore.

    This could be something really special. Can't wait to see more.

    This is incredible. It conveys a magnitude, size, scope, and feel of a major motion picture. Tommy, you have an incredible talent and a great vision. Fantastic work and I can't wait to see the completed project

    It really does look big! Making a TV-style episode is hard enough, but to create a "big-screen" feel with the limited budget you have is amazing! ETA: I hope the release will kickstart your fund raising efforts!

    Hey Tommy! Saw your trailer a little while ago over on the IT boards. Awesome to see the detailed BTS/blog stuff. You should post it over there, too. I'm sure our fellow filmmakers would be way interested in it, too.

    Thanks for sharing! I've said it before, but you're going places.

    Thank you! :) Glad to know we're hitting the mark!

    Woohoo! Thank you :)

    I thought about posting on the IT boards, but didn't know if I was welcome lol. I guess I'll head over and make a post :)

    So, what happens when they meet planets slightly bigger? ;)

    I just find it funny that the device is just the right size for that particular planet.

    Lol, a fair question. There may be implications later in the movie that the device was built specifically for that planet.

    Thank you! Cool stuff you've got going on, will talk more in email. Sorry for my delays getting back too :)

    The final 12 hours of my Kickstarter are upon us, and I've just released a new still. What do you all think? And if you all could share the Kickstarter I'd greatly appreciate it!

    He reached his goal long ago; in fact he has double it. A worthy effort and I encourage everyone to donate. This looks amazing so far.

    Good Luck Tommy!!
