This is the independent feature film Star Trek First Frontier. Feel free to download and save the film. It's impossible to tell if the powers that be are going to allow you to enjoy this, or have it removed. Hopefully, they will see a value in allowing the fans their own creative outlets in the fan films. After all, we chose Star Trek to create, it's a compliment. We were in production before the "guidelines" were announced and understand we have been "grandfathered" in, with that understanding. Please share the link with as many as you can.

This is the story of the initial launching of the Starship USS Enterprise NCC-1701 under the command of Captain Robert April with his wife, Commander Sarah April, the ship's first Chief Medical Officer. It's the story of a starship that needs a Captain, and a Captain that needs a starship.

Extreme special attention to following established Star Trek canon was shown. Our intent was to add to Star Trek, not to change it. It's not ours to change. The film was made in good faith and with adoration for Star Trek.
I placed quite a few easter eggs in the film. I'll point out one to give an example. In the scene where Robert April is talking to the counselor, the background whistle noise is the one used in The Empire Strikes Back, Blade Runner, and Alien to name a few. I have forgotten many of the Easter eggs I placed so I may need to go through and make a guide LOL have fun looking.
We did our absolute best to deliver a visual experience worthy of anything bearing the name Star Trek. There are moments in the film where the visual effects may be slightly insufficient but hopefully, never distracting. I tried to eliminate any element that would remove your verisimilitude while watching.
I also know of the limitations in audio in some places.
I planned to fix everything before release but the quarantine has us hit hard financially, I did what I could, I just didnt have the funds any more, I paid for the entire film myself.
The issues will be fixed soon for a special edition.
Please forgive any shortcomings, I did my best. Hopefully you can still enjoy the movie.
Please note: This may not appeal to you. If you would like to leave an intelligent comment as to why, please do. I am confident enough to absorb and evaluate criticism.
If you leave a hurtful, disparaging or insulting remark, I will delete it for no other reason than because I have no respect for you.
For those who dislike stories set in the original series timeline, I would kindly remind you that you have at least three television series at 7 seasons each (21 seasons) set in the future timelines, The Original Series only had 5 Seasons (I count the Animated Series) and the movies. There's room for more stories here.
To those who have been so friendly, thank you for your kind words. I appreciate you guys immensely because I am one of you. LLAP - Kenny
