There are 180 days to go until The 2025 Trekzone Fan Film Awards are here.

There has been some pretty good interest in the awards which is good, the dates for eligibility are May 2024 to June 2025, so we got a bit of time to go before it is time to think about what films go where.

A few categories may be added this year which is always a cool thing to have as it keeps things fresh.

We will have plenty of fan films to consider this year, that’s the feeling that we get at this present time.

Want to know what is coming up for Potemkin Pictures? Now you can know as they’ve released their list of fan films in Post-Production and Pre-Production.

• W13 “Thicker Than Water” — expected release: January 2025 (Webster)
• C07 “The Plain Sight” — expected release: February 2025 (Caliborn)
• W14 “The Protector’s Toll” — expected release: March 2025 (Webster)
• D25 “Hands of Fate” — expected release: April 2025 (Deimos)
• Q03 “Treachery and Honor” — expected release: May 2025 (Qab’elth)

They have the following fan films in pre-production:

• W15, W16, W17, W18 “All TBD” — filming in 2025 (Webster)

The good news for them is all the ones in post-production will make it for consideration in The 2025 Trekzone Fan Film Awards and take a look at the nice variety of fan films there are, different ships and crews and the Klingons star once again.

From Elvis Deane is ‘Through the Ion Veil’, this was made through the AI generator ‘Midjourney’ and edited in Photoshop with the video made through Kling, Runway, and Minimax.

We’re most certainly are in a new age and computers will probably get more smarter and give exactly what fan film makers want though humans will still be putting the finer details into the fan films.

Want a three-hour video of a starship at warp? You’ve got it with the latest video by Rob Betz, take a good look at the USS Calypso as it merrily goes through space.

That’s it for this week’s edition; a pounding headache is making typing an unpleasant experience despite the subject matter being pleasant.

Until next time, be good to each other.
