Pursuit of a Dream - A Star Trek Fan Production (4K).

The legendary T’Kon archive; many dream of finding it. But as one starship captain’s about to discover, legends are never quite what we expect.

[@mattboardman8837]

Great work by everyone! Loved seeing Hunter through out the years (the digital de-aging turned out great!) and dang it if the Guardian's message on hope didn't get me choked up a bit at the end there. Another fantastic entry in the Starship Intrepid tapestry!

[@StarShipIntrepid]

Thanks Matt, I’m glad that last scene resonated with you. I was hoping it would have that effect. :)

Much better then anything CBS is putting out! I think Gene Roddenberry would be Proud!

[@CavemanCBB]

Very Good. As I am getting older I too ask myself "why am I here". This is the reason I fell in love with Star Trek in the first place. For me it was never about the battles and the special effects. It was about asking deeper questions about ourselves/myslef. This episode lives up to that .

[@StarShipIntrepid]

Thank you, I’m glad it resonated with you. Certainly been asking those questions myself a lot too as I get older. And like you, those are the kind of stories as like the most.

The way you tapped on those panels made me believe you were really piloting the shuttle. Uniforms and Pips were spot on mate! I’ve never seen such manly Star Fleet officers. The Kahn was my favorite and so mysterious, Paramount missed out on you mate. Keep writing I hope you have another soon! Cheers!

[@maverick744]

@@StarShipIntrepid will you be releasing more in the future? As big of a Trek fan as I am I have to be honest and say I am so disappointed in Picard and the direction the writers have gone. They have never been so off the mark in my opinion also not following Roddenberry’s vision what so ever. I hate what they did to Seven’s character and how they killed Echib made no sense. It’s almost like the creator wasn’t a fan and didn’t catch too many episodes. Roddenberry creation was one with an utopian future that sparked imagination and inspired technology’s. It made the future something to look forward too. They have turned it into a future that is depressing and dark with nothing that you would look forward to which is why your Movie short was such a breath of fresh air and am hoping you have plans on continuing the story. I called it a movie short because a “fan made film” doesn’t do it Justice in my opinion. Your creation was exactly what Roddenberry had visioned and is “More Star Trek” than any of the installments that have been released. Apologies for a tad bit of ranting and wining I just hope to see more from you . Many thanks,,, Cheers!

[@StarShipIntrepid]

Sorry I hadn’t spotted your reply sooner. Yes, we absolutely will be making more, we have a few films in various stages of production. :)

A nice little story. Special effects great as always Samuel. Your little one line was also delivered very well. With a few exceptions the acting was pretty decent. :-D

[@GeppettoProductions]

This was very good but I'm a bit confused about the part with the Dominion. Was this during the Dominion War? If so, I believe having Shelby as an Admiral, during this time period is a mistake.

[@StarShipIntrepid]

Hey glad you enjoyed it. Yes, Shelby should be a captain during the Dominion War, but Risha’s footage was shot some years back for a different (aborted) film, we just repurposed it here. Her insignia aren’t that clear, so we just went with it. Good catch though. :)

[@LittleBlueReviews400]

I’d say this can easily be Canon!

[@deprivedoftrance]

I was excited when I heard new Star Trek would be on TV in part because I remember the sense of inspiration that made me fall in love with Star Trek in the first place. The optimism and hope for the future that unfortunately is pretty much totally lacking in all the current offerings. THIS is the Star Trek I fell in love with, THIS is what I want more of - everything about this is spot on. Thank you all so much for what you have created! You truly capture the heart and soul of what I love most about Star Trek, it's real essence.

[@StarShipIntrepid]

Thanks so much for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I personally am enjoying the newer shows, especially Picard, but I totally understand not everyone agrees. Indeed, I remember similar feelings when TNG first aired. I’m sorry you’re not finding joy in them, but I’m genuinely grateful that you found something you’re missing in our very modest efforts. :)

[@deprivedoftrance]

​@@StarShipIntrepid They have their own appeal and are good in their way, and of course I am watching them because it's new Star Trek, but it feels like something "classic" is missing. It took some time for each of the "new" shows to grow on me when they aired and I try to appreciate them each for what they are. Very much looking forward to Strange New Worlds, it seems like it's going to have more of the classic appeal to it, but thus far few of the episodes really grabbed me immediately like this one did. Trek means something different to everyone and that is what makes it so great. Your efforts deepen and enrich the Trek universe and here's to hoping for many more episodes from your team :)

[@StarShipIntrepid]

Thank you so much, that means a lot. :)

[@trekkerprise]

[@StarShipIntrepid]

Thank you! It’s one of my favourite things to write and play. :)

[@kadindarklord]

Why is Risha/Shelby a Commodore during what appears to be the Dominion War? Or am I misinterpreting the timeline placement?

[@StarShipIntrepid]

The footage of Risha was shot for another film that didn’t get made, we repurposed it here. So yes, she should be a commander, but it’s not that obvious what insignia she’s wearing unless you really look, so we went with it. Also, you could argue this story doesn’t take place in the HF timeline, as Rob has suggested HF is it’s own thing, and this story acknowledges the events of the Romulan supernova, which doesn’t happen in the HF timeline. But ultimately, Risha’s insignia are a pretty minor blink and you miss it issue here, so we just went with it.
