A Long Way From Home - A Star Trek Fan Production (2021)

- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- A Long Way From Home - A Star Trek Fan Production was a project filmed and edited within the 2020/2021 Lockdowns of the United Kingdom.
Throughout the time at home I was inspired to create again, I knew I needed to create again. So I wrote a story which, while small in practical scope of only a few actors and few locations, was ambitious in visual scope and feel. I hope I have succeeded.
This short film follows Lieutenant Anna Keeley as she is pulled into a dangerous situation and must use her skills and teamwork to get out safely.
This short also launches a Indiegogo Crowdfunding campaign for our short film collection, Trek Shorts - For Fans By Fans.

@Power453FanFilms....Ok I have enlisted to serve on the USS Defiant. When is our first mission? Backer #40 reporting for duty.
I wish I could meet people doing short films like this and be allowed to join in here in Winston Salem North Carolina

Adding Michelle Specht, a treasure to behold!
Very nice! Today’s fan films are tomorrow’s writers, directors, producers, costume designers, SPX. Enjoyed this very much!
We know for sure that the ship dimensions are 100% on point here.
I guess the dislikes are from Kurtzman, Jar Jar Abrams, and their cronies, because fans are making better Trek than them.
Good Job! :)
Thanks so much! Any elements or things you liked specifically?
@@SGUDistantHope What I loved the most is:
1. A well rounded story. Nothing over the top.
2. It is in the Prime universe, and not the Jar Jar Abrams raped version. So PLEASE do NOT venture into that territory!
3. No Lensflare Generator from Jar Jar Abrams. Yes. I admit that I do not like him, nor his cronies of Yes-Men/Women.
Other than that... Keep up the great work. :D
@@Techrat3D Thank you and yes! We tried to go classic trek feel and even structure with the story telling, while at the same time giving focus to our new lead character.
Oh indeed....if you want, if you need to see more prime classic trek with that feel then please support our indiegogo now! We are raising money to make 5 more films! www.indiegogo.com/projects/trek-shorts-2021-by-fans-for-fans/x/4750234#/
@@SGUDistantHope Alex Kurtzman not in the credits.
Visually everything looks professional. Felt like you snuck onto the real StarTrek site for making shows.
The starships looks amazing and spot on accurate to what is canon. Suspect Cmdr Cockings hands into this.
The actors chosen are decent. Would give them all a solid 9/10. Storyline a solid 9.5:10. Would say dialogues is the weakest overall rating out of everything but still strong at 8/10.
Thank you and keep up the excellent work. Did my 1st ever donation for more short ST films🖖
It's great to see Michelle Specht back in a Star Trek (fan) production again ! Nice work guys, well done.
Indeed it was lovely to work with her, even briefly!
@@SGUDistantHope I haven't seen Michelle since Star Trek Continues. How did you guys get her to be part of this fan production?
@@SGUDistantHope you just thrilled this huge Michelle Specht fan with her unexpected appearance in your gem of a film. I hope this means she will join you again in the future.
@@SGUDistantHope do you guys cut the ship models out, or just the backgrounds? Pretty groovy, either way.
Cheers
This is a very well made film. It was great to see Michelle Specht make an appearance.
Love the technobabble! It warms the heart of this ol' Trek fan!
Wait a minute, isn't someone going to say that the technobabble in this short film is much better than all of the technobabble in Discovery and Picard put together?
I know right? It sounds euphonious! Even if I don't understand half of it. lol
Now that is a "Star Trek" that fans do indeed deserve.
"We are far from home."
"Aren't we all."
We look for things
I just LOVE the FC-Uniform era, it's my favourite. Thank you for making another fan film in this time period. It was a nice little story with decent acting. Captain Hunter was... himself, as always. Quite a consistent character. :) The costumes were very accurate (though Michelle Specht didn't seem to wear a uniform). I liked the music which had some nice nods to the known Star Trek themes. I also liked the consistence of camera angles and moves with the digital sets. Projecting Keeley into a shuttle exterior shot was something unseen in this quality before. And of course, all the ships (including the California class - a very nice easter egg - and the Norway class which I believe to be a slight nod to CzechTrek), the digital sets (I LOVED the Intrepid bridge and the shuttle interior) and all CGI were PERFECT. OUTSTANDING QUALITY! *sigh* It makes me want to write a script for my own fan film immediately... Thank you for your labour of love and being an inspiration. Well done! I'm looking forward to seeing more from you. Best regards from the USS Atlas, a fan group in Germany (I'm the Captain).
Ya know, I noticed she didn't seem to be wearing a uniform, either. But I still loved seeing her in a new project!
Story was very on point and Star Trek very much felt like an episode of 90’s trek really appreciate the effort. The audio difference between the shuttle and the intrepid was very noticeable and the captain on the Norway at the end appears to be out of uniform? Outside of that fantastic work sam can’t wait for you to make more.
I love the captain referring to himself as the idiot in charge.
This made me realize : I want these sets, these uniforms , the whole package.
What I dont want is more Picard or STD...
I miss real trek. Awesome little movie too :)
this needs to be a trek series and the acting was amazing and props to all who acted in it \
The effects, story and pacing were great but the acting was not amazing. It's hard to get good actors in a fan production. The other critique I have is the dialogue audio which was not clear and had the "studio" sound but again that is hard to get on a budget. The music and sound effects were great. They got the feel of Trek more than well known fan productions. The uniforms looked flawless.
I a bit puzzled eith the fight choreography in the holodeck. Was it itentional that the roman was attacking her by walking to her slowly and basically just brushing by. Was that the glitch? If not then the fight lacked momentum, it was mot dynamic.
Gene truly had no idea what he created when he decided to start Star Trek. If we keep up like this sci-fi will become reality.
I love the personality of the lead woman, Lieutenant Anna Keeley
brilliant nice to see the brought the councilor back she is awesome - great production we need more
I love the fan made Trek better then anything the big wigs made in the past few years. keep up the good work guys :)
I very much enjoyed this from visuals to story to the accompanying score set to each scene.
This felt like home again in the Star Trek universe I grew up with.
I liked Lower Decks (California class) thrown in there too.
Great job
Yes! I thought it was so cool that they added in a Cali class ship!
Noticed that. Had to go back a few secs to be sure. A lot of people say "LOL" but don't really mean it...I LOLed.
Having said that, the California Class has got to be one of the worst designs for a Starfleet vessel ever, which just adds to how great STLD is.
I too liked the California class cameo at the end. Way to support the other new branches in the Star Trek pantheon.
“Holodecks……can’t live with them, can’t live without them” Clever
Turn out of 10 guys and girls obviously lots of hard work and a lot O TE of late night have you put in to this well done everybody people in front of the camera people behind the camera and the people and
In front of camera and of course the people in the editing room. 🖖🖖🖖🚀🚀🛸
very impressed. Looking forward to seeing more well that again I also work in the film and TV industry and I have done things like this in the past I am very impressed again.
Wow, so happy to see this -- I had no idea it was coming today! It was great to see Michelle Specht from STC again in a new role. Always love seeing Nick's Daniel Hunter, and I love the introduction to Sam's over-nacelled ship. I imagine this is a prequel of sorts to Convergence, which I cannot wait to see. Well done on the VFX, Sam. Acting was spot on. Yet another fan film that makes me wish I could be in one.
More ship pr0n in a single fan film than a whole season of current official Trek series (minus Lower Decks).
What is ship-pr0n?
This is a gift to star trek fans everywhere! High quality production with a great story and talented actors and actresses. Gene Roddenberry would approve I'm sure. Thanks for the gift.
Really impressive and quite enjoyable! My only feedback is the absence of control noises is really noticeable. It would really help to add that in when we know they're touching panels, even if it's not on-screen. Of course it only stands out because the effects and virtual sets are so great! The original music was also very impressive.
I got a chuckle imagining what Samuel put out for craft service!
Thank you Ryan!! Yes i hope the story was a more memorable story than many fan films etc. Yes we love our original score!
I did of course add button taps for several hero occasions, but in the real Treks they rarely do actual SFX for every single press...often there is nothing unless we are focusing on them. It would have been an insane task..and quite distracting to do a SFX for every single tap that Keeley does, so i added a few things here and there. Could always do with more SFX but thats what im weakest at...need someone to come in and help!
Ha! Nim is actually gluten free so it was harder than i thought haha!
If you want to see Ryan, and i know you do!! www.indiegogo.com/projects/trek-shorts-2021-by-fans-for-fans/x/4750234#/ Support our indiegogo which is going on right now!! we have 5 more shorts planned but need to raise funds!
@@SGUDistantHope I noticed the lack of tap sounds too, and I know they're not there for every single tap, but I apparently missed the few that were added because I didn't hear any at all. Still great little film.
I’m all about lieutenant Anna keeley. We need more episodes about her and her shenanigans
Shes great! There are many episodes with her as other ages, but we have filmed more with her as a LT yes!
Ah, the "speedboat" shuttle, one of my favorites that doesn't get enough love. Perfect choice.
Overall very well done. I guess I can't blame the IP owners for being envious of what you can do without their monstrous budgets. ;>)
imagine what these guys and girls could do with their monstrous budgets.
this might explain why the Voyager never ran out of them! KEEPS AN INFINITE SUPPLY OUT OF PHASE!!!
I absolutely love this character! Lt. Keeley is incredibly Smart, funny, and humble enough to handle a mistake in stride. It's a great combination! I'm really looking forward to more from her and the Horizon!
This is better than Discovery and Picard
Thanks Todd!! if you want to see more in the classic Trek timeline and vibe then support our croud funder www.indiegogo.com/projects/trek-shorts-2021-by-fans-for-fans/x/4750234#/ we are trying to make 5 more shorts so...help if you can!
It's easier if you just say "Kurtzman".
It's better than any official Star Trek in the past 20 years.
You smoke to much weed 😅
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!
I'm thoroughly tickled I stumbled upon this and I'll definitely be back to see what's made next!!
Very kind!! thank you so much! what in particular did you enjoy? any specific bits?
If you want to see more then please consider donating to our crowd funder, were trying to raise money right now for 5 more shorts! www.indiegogo.com/projects/trek-shorts-2021-by-fans-for-fans/x/4750234#/
That Norway looks nice. Would love to see a Trekyards on that.
Yes! that's my custom norway Variant as designed by me for the Squadron fan production! I was super happy to be able to use that in this film for her part!
@@SGUDistantHope , the exteriors of the shuttle look excellent. Great work.
I like how you put a California Class in there! A nice connection with Lower Decks.
Yes indeed Mark!! First time she's been used in a live action production or fan film!! We do love Lower Decks here, even had the pleasure to talk to show runner Mike McMahan for my web series Trekyards! Had to include it in here as a tribute to him!
Was there anything you specifically enjoyed about this film? :D
@@SGUDistantHope AWESOME!!!!!
The film felt much more like Star Trek than JJ Trek, Discovery or Picard does! I love the involvement of a race from the Delta Quadrant in it.
Did Rob Bonchune make the USS Intrepid?
@@markbernero9302 Thanks so much! yes i wanted to make a very classic feeling Trek! I actually have 5 more shorts planned BUT we need help funding them via Indiegogo! www.indiegogo.com/projects/trek-shorts-2021-by-fans-for-fans/x/4750234#/ Support if you can!
Wonderful to see the crew from Intrepid sailing the space ways again!
Also, I miss the Hidden Frontier folks. Live Long and Prosper, all of you.
Love that Michele Specht was in this. This is my first time watching. Liked and subbed.
very nice Film. Nice Ships Modells and one was a California Class.
@@DancingRasputin yes
YES! I got very excited when I saw Captain Hunter, I used to love their fan films!
yes! And isn't he fantastic in this film! Were there any moments or things you specifically enjoyed?
Thanks so much, appreciate the kind words.
We’re still making films. More to come soon. :)
Ms. Saund is a very good actress!
Very well done. Gold Star. and thank you for posting and the hard work involved. I enjoyed it immensley
She's a really good actor.
We think so! :D
Aaa, the return of old friends from ST Hidden Frontier prod.;-) Btw. well done, of course.
Great Job Guys!
That's a great begining for the U.S.S. Horizon:-) looking forward to see it alongside other federation starships!
Good little story with some truly impressive SFX.
Nice to see the Ent-E era ship designs getting some love
This is so well done !! Ive made more than a few student films and i know the work that goes into them. This has been a labour love and the result is a fantadtic finished product. Pls who knew Samuel could act 😊
LOL he is a good faker jk.
Thank you!!! Indeed...so...many hours! And yes, you have to have all the love!
haha...you think i can act? ^.^ Very much appreciated...i think i was easily the weakest actor in the piece...but everyone else did SO well so maybe its just the contrast!. It was very fun to get to play in character though and be on the Horizon, the ship i designed with Rick Sternbach.
Was there any parts of elements you enjoyed in particular or that stood out?
Was that Samuel Cocking's pa, as the Roman? He did pretty well, too!
@@SGUDistantHope The VFX were particularly excellent. From the Arc to the ship animations. The costuming was also very well done. Its funny how often that small element can take you out of a fan film. The sets/enviroments were very well done to. I assume most were green screen with a few practicle elements but these were compiled seemlessly.
@@TheG21145 Thank you so much! yes i specialise in the VFX and getting the "feel" of Trek space shots and spaceships. Indeed we focused on high end costumes...as it does make a BIG difference.
yes it was all 100% green screen except Nicks captains chair! If you want to see more shorts from us then please support our indiegogo going on right now! www.indiegogo.com/projects/trek-shorts-2021-by-fans-for-fans/x/4750234#/
@lan Le yes it is! haha
awesome work, was good to see the USS Horizon, cg work is spot on Samuel, love the Acting, just really enjoyed it all
Ship graphics were incredible! 🌟
love her accent
LOVE that you put a California class ship in, at the end!
Enjoyed this very much.
Looking forward to your next ones.
Indeed! All part of the universe!
If you want to see more then please support our Indiegogo which is running right now! We plan to make 5 more! www.indiegogo.com/projects/trek-shorts-2021-by-fans-for-fans/x/4750234#/
That was fantastic. The right amount of dreams and excitement. I look forward to seeing many more of these.
That feeling when you make better fan film than new Star Trek shows.
New, wonderful, great job!
I just finished the _Star Trek Continues_ series last night, sad Dr Hunter was killed, and here's Captain Sheppard. You had me before that but can't lie, liked her introduction.
So many questions, can't wait to watch and find out.
Another truely great fan film...thank you...
Starfleet Engineering Corps: How many warp nacelles do you want?
Horizon: yes.
🤣
Interesting story and great VFX! Though I wonder why Captain Sheppard doesn't appear to be wearing a uniform. Did she come right out of the holodeck from some beach club like the crew of the Cerritos in “wej Duj”? 😅 Speaking of which: love the inclusion of the California class at the station. First the shot from afar where I thought “Wait, is that a Cali?” and then at the end the confirmation 🥰
Loved you guys sneaking in the California-class at the end!
ANNA IS ONE GREAT AND ADORABLE FEDERATION OFFICER, VERY ,VERY GOOD AT HER JOB,I'M IMPRESSED WITH HER!!!GARY BAILEY KING OF DARKNESS OOW WOW, MY FAVORITE COUNSELOR
FROM ENTERPRISE, LOVE IT, MICHELLE SPECHT AS CAPTAIN SHEPPARD WONDERFUL I AM SO GLAD TO SEE HER AGAIN!!! GARY BAILEY
Wasn't expecting MS to appear. Great work and good acting.
I'm sure that you are probably getting tired of me saying this, however, these are such incredibly fun and exciting episodes that you and your crew are making. Of course your VFX are always awesome. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us, the fans. Cheers Commander Cockings 🍻. Love the incorporation of the California class starship.
Live long and prosper 🖖🏼
Glad to hear you're still creating! Good work! Been busy writing myself, ill have to stop by the channel soon. Cheers.
Great fan film! It was good to see the USS Intrepid. I'm a fan of the USS Voyager so I liked seeing the first ship of its class. As far as I know the ship has only been referred to but has never appeared in any Star Trek episodes. The USS Horizon and the shuttle craft looked good too.
Very, very nice work on the music. That was movie quality. Nice to see Michelle back in a Star Trek production. I got to spend some time around her and Vic two years ago at a STC fan weekend and can say she’s just as nice in person as the characters she plays.
Glad I found this channel! This is the best fan fiction I've seen from the Trek universe in many years, and top-notch video quality, too - wow!
Here's a like and comment for the Almighty Algorithm. ❤️❤️
Good Job Samuel, Your dad was great.
Thank you Daniel! Did you like any scenes or visuals in particular?? If you want to see more short films from us this year then please support us on Indiegogo! www.indiegogo.com/projects/trek-shorts-2021-by-fans-for-fans/x/4750234#/
An great piece of art work for the history books.
That's a very lovely comment! Thank you so much! Is there anything in particular you enjoyed about this film?
Great video...the special effects and characters are worthy of a TV series!! Loved everything about it!!!😁😁👍👍👍👍
Thank you very very much Anthony!! that's certainly my specialty!! Is there any moment in the film or any visual you particularly enjoyed?
Also if you want to see more short films from us, were currently running a croud funder...need to raise some funds but we want to make more!! www.indiegogo.com/projects/trek-shorts-2021-by-fans-for-fans/x/4750234#/
@@SGUDistantHope The special effects of the ships...they sure didn't look like CGI models but ultrarealistic.👍👍
Great job! Definitely felt like coming back home to the Voy/DS-9 era of Trek. Keep up the good work!
Excellent acting :) :D love how professional and well produced this is. Nice to see fellow Scots acting in this. Nick Cook is from Dundee, 50 miles from where i am from, Aberdeen!
Music by composer from Aberdeen
I think you all did a great job. Good work. Liked the Roman soldier foreshadowing.
Finally!!! I've been waiting since the trailer dropped to see this; and now that I have, I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. 😊😁 I'm glad to see there are some ppl who still recognize and respect real Trek, as opposed to Kurtzman Trek. 😊😁
Well done; and I look forward to the next adventure. 😊😊
Thanks so much!!! Glad you liked it so much!! Phew!! :D
Oh indeed...and we have a croud funder going on right now to make at least 5 more shorts!!! If you want to see more...then fans like you need to support our Indiegogo!! www.indiegogo.com/projects/trek-shorts-2021-by-fans-for-fans/x/4750234#/
Better acting than most fan films (not to drag them down; it's a labor of love, after all), pretty witty dialog, and special effects worthy of TV. I can't find much in this not to like!
Great short! Would love to see more!
Thank you so much!! Was there anything you particularly enjoyed in the film? any scenes or moments?
we want to make more! But we need fans help to support our indiegogo which is going on right now! www.indiegogo.com/projects/trek-shorts-2021-by-fans-for-fans/x/4750234#/ We have 5 more shorts planned but need your help!
@@SGUDistantHope The actors did well, and of course enjoyed the ships. It looked really nice. The story line for a short was good, but easily could have spread out into a full blown episode or even a movie with no problem.
What a delightful film! Congratulations on your fine production and professional results!
Reduced fighting ability from arthritis not rendered....
Once youtube "resumed program" I've arrived at an 8 outta ten for this short. Quite Nicely Done!
I really enjoyed this; very lighthearted and fun. Nimran is a natural...This was excellent. Thank you.
Thank you very much! Hopefully the story and "Trek vibe" took you in and you forgot you were watching a fan film at a certain point and just enjoyed a fresh new Trek story! And yes...Nimran is fantastic!! She will be in several more if fans support our new Indiegogo!! 5 shorts planned! www.indiegogo.com/projects/trek-shorts-2021-by-fans-for-fans/x/4750234#/
Masterpiece! This is an amazing film! Well done!!
Thank you Trey!! I look forward to talking about it on your channel soon, and having you do a review of it or something like that ;) :D
Anything you liked in particular about it?
@@SGUDistantHope Seeing Nick in there was fun for sure, of course I enjoyed the Easter egg to Bread & Circuses in the beginning, and seeing Michelle in there was a real treat and surprise!
@@MacsWorldEntertainment that’s it was
Really great job. Getting better with each new adventure!!
Such a fantastic Trek fan fiction film!! Nicely Done!!
Great teaser for more episodes.
Well we get to see more of Michelle Specht.
Either way thanks to all involved.
Agreed, VRY nice to see Michelle as a Capt
I love it! It’s so great when a die-hard group of devoted fans pull together their combined talents to make a piece of art! The VFX shots of the various ships and Chiron Base are spot on! Congrats you folks! You have another devoted fan in the audience!
Very good, enjoyed the story and very nice to see you again Michelle! Hope you see more from this talented group. Thank You and long life.
Nice theme music... Good special effects and fine acting as well!
id like to plow that LT. for sure, great job - stays true to the real vision for Star Trek and cannon! 1000x better than discovery that's for sure!
Nicely Done Hope to see more!
Thanks so much William! What did you enjoy specifically or did anything stick out? :D If you want to see more then we have a crowdfunder going on right now to support 5 new projects! www.indiegogo.com/projects/trek-shorts-2021-by-fans-for-fans/x/4750234#/
Omg omg omg omg!!!!
There he is!! ;) I hope you do a review on this and a lore breakdown :P ;) :D Excited to hear what you think about it!
Heh, that's what I like to hear. Glad you liked it.
Very good production. I hope to see more adventures with Keeley. A very good character.
Very nice bit of acting, everyone.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS FOR ALL OF US WHO DREAMED WITH STAR TREK👍
Nicely done. Interesting story, great FX, decent acting, a Scottish Trill, and beautiful ladies (the pilot and Ms. Specht). Great Trek here.
Great cinematography and VFX- the sets and ship models are extremely good-looking. The only thing I would suggest is to add some flyby sounds whenever a ship passes by the camera- I think it would add a lot more life to the motion and give them some weight.
...and is that a California Class ship I see in the background at Chiron?
Definitely a California Class
Really enjoyed it, well done everyone involved.
Wow.. Awesome job. Very well done. Thank you
Fantastic job! Loved the story and effects - and kudos to Nimran Saund, really loved her acting.
Outstanding work! great use of Lockdown resources! one of my favorites!!
Thank you so much!!! And indeed...used a little...in as clever way as possible, with lots of space CGI too ofc ;). Oooo one of your favorites?!?! A fantastic compliment! thank you!
What did you enjoy in particular about it/what were your favorite bits? :D
@@SGUDistantHope I'm a Huge fan of the space shots. I know it's the money and time consuming part of Any project, but it's the part that sells the rest. How you were able to look into the Shuttles window and see the character there, moving as she should be. It's great, and not seen often.
And I've been a longtime fan of the Intrepid, so seeing both projects characters in there was great. Acting was spot on and of course the Holodeck malfunctioned. it always does. :)
I know you are amazing with your CGI work and I bow to you, but I think it's getting better.
And spot on acting by everyone. Even the smart mouthed Lieutenant ;)
I didn't know what to think at first but I let it run and wasn't disappointed. Great job guys, looking forward to the next installment and you have a new subscriber!👍
Please make more films with USS Horizon!! Verry Good Work!!👍👍
Thank you so much! We want to do more! Support our Indiegogo right now to see more! We need your support! www.indiegogo.com/projects/trek-shorts-2021-by-fans-for-fans/x/4750234#/
Well done, all. Congrats!
In the future there won't be an epidemic of near sightedness from staring at cell phones, but instead an epidemic from people staring at tri-corders.
I liked this! A little different, but in a very good way. Keep it up. Looking forward to seeing more like this.
Brilliant! My only criticism is...
nothing! Its brilliant
Great, Star Trek Fan Production. Welcome To The Continuum.😂
Ha, ive been releasing films since 2012, so hardly new ;) hahah
Tally ho ol' chaps, this is jolly good!
