131 days to go until The 2025 Trekzone Fan Film Awards are here for your enjoyment and the excitement is slowly building up as we still have quite a way to go but everything is falling into place nicely.

Trekzone’s auto poster on Facebook this week brought up The 2024 Trekzone Fan Film Awards, what a fun time that was for all of us, we had a thrilling Most Popular Fan Film Award battle, a nice spread of awards and a couple of upset people thrown into the mix.

One Fan Film that will be up for consideration in The 2025 Trekzone Fan Film Awards is the new fan film ‘Hands of Fate’, this fan film has come from the Starship Deimos Creative Group and was filmed at Potemkin Pictures.

‘Hands of Fate’ was written by Elizabeth Hagale, directed by Randall Landers and was edited by Tom Hagale, this fan film runs for twenty minutes and four seconds which puts it up for ‘Best Fan Film’, it would have been considered for ‘Best Short Fan Film’ had it been at least five seconds shorter.

Those of you familiar with ‘Trekzone and MTM’s Best of 202x List’ that is published every December 31st may remember that we adjusted the time length to accommodate fan films that run over the 30-minute guideline more easily.

You can chop up time in three or four ways but there’s always going to be imbalance, you could have under 10, 20, 30-minute awards but then you’ll need to accommodate 30+ minutes but have either threatened or have passed the two-hour mark, that’s a big timespan from 30 minutes to 120 minutes.

Let’s check in on ‘Sweet Oblivion’ by FSFilm, it has just over 1,200 views which is surprising as we think it deserves more but YouTube can be a strange place, one video can get a lot of views, and the next one gets little and yet the promotional work was exactly the same intensity.

‘The Hive’ is making its way towards 1,000 views, we hope it will get there soon as it has an interesting story which is what we have gotten used to from Jeff, this fan film is just under seven and a half minutes long so if you got a spare couple of minutes, don’t hesitate and give it a go.

The last fan film to check in on is ‘Raiders of the Lost Trek’, Matthew Lee Blackburn’s masterpiece of putting two of Paramount Pictures most iconic franchises together is definitely in the mix for consideration in The 2025 Trekzone Fan Film Awards, it is also five hundred and seventy-one views away from reaching 10,000 views.

That’s it for this edition of MTM Wrap, a great week in the fan film world especially when new fan films are released.

Until next time, be good to each other.
