Greetings fans! I wanted to write this post to let you know that we haven't abandoned you, but to also denote a small yet impactful (to some) change in our written description.
As some of you may know we set out to produce a short film at the end of 2014 and obviously this has not happened. This was due to many things, but mostly because I felt it was not the appropriate time. After meetings, returned and unreturned inquires, bouncing ideas around, and revising our script more times than I can personally count, it came down to a point of being confident that our short film could be produced to the standards I have set out for the project. Trying to keep the deadline of the end of 2014 inevitably forced the answer of - No. This does not mean that the project is dead by any means. I have always asserted that this project can only exist under the right circumstances and I will not sacrifice quality to meet a deadline or any other artificial barrier. So rest assured, work on Star Trek Futures will continue even at a snails pace if thats what it takes to complete the project.
Secondly, we have made a small change in the description in our "Story" section of our homepage. To those who wrote us to complain about this specific minor detail, it will be a big change. If you don't know what change was made, then absolutely nothing about our story, characters, setting, etc... has changed. This was a personal decision made by me, the executive producer and not, in any way influenced by CBS/Paramount. Basically it comes down to where I choose to spend my energy: Ignoring and/or responding to Trek-Trolls or focusing on creating the best science fiction as we can. While I am reticent to point out this change, I have committed to being 100% honest and transparent with you, the fans, about the process and pitfalls of this epic endeavor. Enough said.
Anyway, lets get back to work shall we!
Take care,
Dan Thale
