Have you heard about the ‘The Equinox Effect’ a Star Trek fan production? There is not much information on this yet, but here is what I have found out so far, but hopefully people here will know more about this then I do.
It is being made by ‘The Federation Files’ fan group who have already made several fan productions. Glen L. Wolfe (producer for Continues, Phase II and many other fan productions) is behind the project, and I have noticed that he has a good reputation for finishing what he starts.
From what I can gather from reading Facebook posts, the idea is to utilize lost footage from the nearly completed, yet aborted fan production ‘Equinox: The Night of Time’ (which was discussed here), by integrating it into ‘The Federation Files’ story themes. John Savage, Gary Lockwood and Garrett Wang are no longer involved in the project as this would not be compliant with the fan film guidelines; although I am not clear if they will still feature in the “lost footage” or will be recast.
^Yes, that is the Renegades set (which they used with permission), but it is only green screen, looks good though. Apparantly this picture is from Act 3 of the film. Source: Facebook
^They are using a body double for the Blanca Blanco character, Lt. Cmdr. T'Lexa, in order to create additional scenes. Her face will not appear on screen. Source: Facebook
^These pictures from the website show that Sulu and the Guardian of Forever will also be featured in ‘The Equinox Effect’. Source: thefederationfiles.com
^Hopefully the lost footage they will be using will be much better quality then the original teaser for ‘Equinox: The Night of Time’. Please note that the people working on this fan production are not the same people as those who made this teaser.

! But please note that the people working on this fan production are not the same people as those who made the teaser and I have edited my original post to make this clearer. I have hope that the 'The Federation Files' team, who always seem able produce fan films to a much better standard, with much smaller budgets, feel that their is a good story in there somewhere that can be salvaged.
