  • Nana Visitor/Chase Masterson Interviews JARRAH
    Episode 14: Nana Visitor/Chase Masterson Interviews JARRAH: Hi and welcome to Women At Warp. Join us as our crew of four women Star Trek fans boldly go on our biweekly mission to explore our favorite franchise. My name's Jarrah and thanks for tuning in. Today we have with us the rest of our crew. Sue SUE: Hi everybody JARRAH: Andi. ANDI: Hey everyone. JARRAH: And Grace. GRACE: Hey y'all. JARRAH: And before we get started into the main bulk of our show, which is interviews that I did at Star Trek Las Vegas with Chase Masterson and Nana Visitor from Deep Space Nine, we wanted to take a minute to pay tribute to a awesome Star Trek guest star that passed away recently: Yvonne Craig. So Andi, do you want to start with that? ANDI: Sure. I mean, I know a lot of people know her from Batgirl. I sadly never got to see her as Batgirl and wasn't really familiar with her from that. So my first experience with her as an actress was from Whom Gods Destroy, which is a third season Star Trek the original series episode. And I think it's a really cool episode. And the main reason I like it is because of her character Marta, who is awesome, and funny, and dangerous, and just really really cool. I mean she dances, and she stabs Kirk, and she quotes Shakespeare but pretends she wrote it. I mean how do you get such a cool character all in one place like that? It was really awesome and that's one of my favorite characters they ever did.

  • Pressive and Photographs So Beautifully, He Is Extremely Strong in This Role,” Comments Masterson
    “YESTERDAY WAS A LIE” PRODUCTION INFORMATION A groundbreaking new noir film, YESTERDAY WAS A LIE is a “soulful and thought- provoking metaphysical journey” (Talking Pictures). Award-winning writer/director James Kerwin -- “one of these young guys on the edge of a digital revolution” (Soundwaves Cinema) -- crafts a thrilling, intricate detective drama that teases the boundaries of reality. Kipleigh Brown “exudes Bacall” (Slice of SciFi) as Hoyle, a girl with a sharp mind and a weak- ness for bourbon who finds herself on the trail of a reclusive genius (John Newton). But her work takes a series of unforeseen twists as events around her grow increasingly fragmented... discon- nected... surreal. With a sexy lounge singer (Chase Masterson) and a loyal partner (Mik Scriba) as her only allies, Hoyle is plunged into a dark world of intrigue and earth-shattering cosmological secrets. Haunted by an ever-present shadow (Peter Mayhew) whom she is destined to face, Hoyle discovers that the most powerful force in the universe -- the power to bend reality, the power to know the truth -- lies within the depths of the human heart. “Like Blade Runner before it, YESTERDAY WAS A LIE manages to meld film noir and science fiction into a fresh new world unlike anything we’ve seen be- fore” (iF Magazine). Also starring Nathan Mobley, Warren Davis, Megan Henning, Jennifer Slimko, and famed ra- dio personality Robert Siegel. 2 ABOUT THE PRODUCTION YESTERDAY WAS A LIE is the brainchild of writer/director James Kerwin, who made a splash in 2000 with his multi-festival-award-winning short film Midsummer.

It was disappointing to find that neither of them would be there due to other commitments. Not to worry as the other two guests who came, we were happy enough to meet, Gary Jones (the ‘Chevron One Encoding’ guy from Stargate SG-1) and Kavan Smith from 4400, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. In fact there were to be 5 guests who have been in Stargate!! An impressive line up. Our journey to Melbourne started at a civilized time this year. But we arrived early Friday afternoon at Adelaide Airport to find that our plane had been delayed for 90 minutes instead of arriving at a reasonable hour now we were not going to! Hopefully the rest of the weekend was not going to have as many delays.

  • The History of STAR TREK Fan Films
    Executive Summary A History of STAR TREK Fan Films Prepared by Jonathan Lane January 2016 This executive summary provides an overview of the independent amateur films made by fans using derivative intellectual property of the Star Trek franchise copyright and trademark holders over the past 50 years. None of the “fan films” listed in this document had a license or approval from CBS, Paramount, Viacom, or Gulf & Western (all of whom held the Star Trek rights over the past five decades). The fan films and series are presented here in a general chronological order by initial release date, although there is unavoidable overlap for series that released new offerings over a period of years. I have endeavored to briefly summarize for each production the content, people involved, and level of professionalism/quality, and (when possible) specifics as to the specific IP used from the long history of the Star Trek franchise. You’ll note that the quality of fan films ranges from the nearly unwatchable to professional-level productions that could easily be mistaken for broadcast television programming or even movie-theater fare. I have also indicated with a star (*) ranking how well known each film/series is generally among Star Trek fans. The rankings are as follows: (*) – Not well known (less than 10K views on YouTube/Vimeo) (**) – Somewhat known (10K-100K views on YouTube/Vimeo) (***) – Mostly known (100K-1M views on YouTube/Vimeo) (****) – Very popular (1M+ views on YouTube/Vimeo) When possible, I have also indicated the amount of money spent on each production and whether or not the project was crowdfunded on Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or some other online service.
