We have 50 days until the unveiling of the ‘Best of 2023’ list, it is going to be another great time with Trekzone but today we are going back to the 2023 Trekzone Fan Film Awards because I have something to show you.

Here they are, the three major awards of the 2023 Trekzone Fan Film Awards, they are beautiful and lucky for us, they were a last-minute discovery as different looking awards were about to be signed off on until additional browsing uncovered these beauties.

That’s not all that has happened recently, Matt got Randy Landers, Jeff Nord and Dave Ellis together to virtually present to them their 2023 Trekzone Fan Film Awards, they will be getting their award plus Tim Tams which may be more valuable than the awards themselves especially if a little melted before eating as they are quite enjoyable and almost make people have an insatiable appetite for them.

All three winners (and those who worked with them) are fantastic people and I am looking forward to their future creations, Randy certainly keeps MTM and Trekzone busy with a steady stream of fan films and Jeff has a new fan film coming up which will be very interesting because Commanders of Starfleet was so good in looking like an old Sci-Fi Serial that it really looked like something a person could have seen on the DuMont Television Network when it existed in the 1940’s and 50’s.

I am so proud of the 2023 Trekzone Fan Film Awards, we got tested this year and it could have been a major disaster, we were five minutes away from packing up because the situation looked grim after the 19 fan film makers sent their letter and a few fan films jumped ship, but we had people backing us and had fan films that wanted us to continue and so we did and we got to the finish line.

There was quite a lot of fallout from the events leading up to the awards, all of it impacted Matt and it had taken some time for him to get back into the rhythm of reporting on fan films and it is good that he is back in the hobby.

The 2023 Trekzone Fan Film Awards changed my life, it did bring some attention to my doorstep, most of it pleasant and the rest was easily dealt with, I am always pleased to have the opportunity to keep covering fan films that many of them had no idea that I was doing so beforehand, so it is nice that we now have that familiarity with each other.

I am looking very much forward to the awards being in the hands of the winners, they certainly deserved them, it will inspire Trekzone and MTM to look at the possibility of doing a Trekzone Fan Film Awards show of some scale in 2024.

Now back to looking into the future, The ‘Best of 2023′ list in 50 days’ time is going to be a great adventure, it is something new and the idea may stick, it may not but we’re certainly going to try and have as much fun as possible with the concept.

Until next time, be good to each other.
