Title: Prelude to Axanar

Didn't even realize this one was out!  Star Trek in the style of the classic History Channel.  Actual Trek actors and AMAZING special effects.

That was actually pretty good. Question: If this is an independent film, how are they able to secure actual Trek Actors? This stuff (characters likeness and names) is copyrighted and Paramount wouldn't let just anyone make any kind of Trek related film. I'm guessing it's an independent film because this didn't get any kind of marketing push.

A surprising amount of Trek character actors wind up doing this sort of thing.  There's like a little micro-industry of sci-fi and Trek-styled homebrew films.  Dare I show you this?
