Hello everyone! Very new to the forum, but I thought this might be the best place to post about a Star Trek inspired short film I've just released. Throughout 2015, I was working on a series of unrelated short films and the final one is an original, character piece called "Needs of the Many" and is set during the Star Trek: Enterprise era of the franchise. Two minutes til impact. One option. No turning back. Looking forward to hearing your feedback, Aaron
This is a great reminder that a good strong, fan film doesn't need to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars, build a separate film studio, recreate a starship, or recreate a "Series" to tell a great story. Good Job!
Wow, this is very well done. Hopefully you can release this in parts. It looks very dramatic and it builds well. Keep up the good work.
Well done. I like the in media res: Here we are, in the thick of it- and we are witness to the two honorable people left to deal with the situation. Bravo. Why are Starfleet people a cut above? This is why. Right here. Thanks much, Aaron.
The story was simple, but heartfelt. I loved it, thank you so much. As someone who also has an interest in theology and Dr Who, I also really liked ‘The Council of Nicaea’ mini episode on your YouTube page. Can’t wait to see what you guys do next. Please do more Star Trek.
Very nice. Your film is now listed as a single short Star Trek Fan Film at Star Trek Reviewed, http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/2009/06/207.html (BF) plus you have been featured as a Headline News release at both Star Trek Reviewed http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/2016/01/headline-news-last-month-only.html and Star Trek Reviewed on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/startrekreviewed/?ref=bookmarks
Well done telling a simple, effective story of two people in a dire situation, with one having to make a sacrifice. This short proves that you can erect partial sets and not have a lot of CGI effects to make a good fan film. There is one missed opportunity in this piece. Dramatically, it would've been better if the Lieutenant made the decision, ordering the crewperson to do what is needed. Thus, the drama isn't whether they'll survive this but hinges on the decision that the Lieutenant must make to get everyone else out of it. Give us the gut-wrenching emotion that comes from ordering someone to their death. Something we've rarely seen in STAR TREK. It's hinted at, but we never really see anyone do it. There's a bit too much technobabble for my taste. And at times the sound is weak. All in all, great job. I wish more fan films told smaller stories instead of the bloated, overwrought yarns with lots of pew pew and connect-the-canon-dots.
Really liked this. It sort of has the tone of a Doctor Who mini-episode, but maybe that's just the Britishness.
