Set shortly after Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country, this new fan film series takes place in 2296 aboard the starship Potemkin, an up-rated Constitution III-class (such as the U.S.S. Enterprise-A, NCC-1701-A. It's on a five-year mission of exploration in deep space where its crew will encounter strange new worlds while seeking out new life forms and new civilizations. The Potemkin is an older ship, one of the last of its kind. Its captain, a forty year veteran of Starfleet, has a unique crew, mostly comprised of inexperienced officers, the occasional cast off from another ship, and a feisty chief medical officer.

Our episodes will focus on science fiction as well as action-adventure, humor, drama. Each production varies in its length; we're not restricting ourselves by following a typical four-act television format. Instead, writers are encouraged to think outside the box. We've produced short vignettes, half-hour episodes, and even a much longer episode currently in post-production. Filming takes place in various locations in Southwest Georgia in order to take advantage of the wide variety of unique locations throughout the region. In addition to the sets we've built in Albany, we've filmed on a river front in Lee County, in the historic Radium Springs in Dougherty County, and we're looking at other exciting, unique locations throughout the region.

All of this helps make Project: Potemkin a unique Star Trek fan film series!

At Trek Trax Atlanta this past weekend, Project: Potemkin undertook the challenge of creating a short fan film. In addition to the Potemkin cast and crew, cast and crew members from Starship Reliant, Starship Valkyrie, Starship Farragut and even Brian Holloway of Phase 2 participated in the production. This is possibly the first time that that number of productions have been involved with a Star Trek fan film.

This is not the final version of the film. The sound needs tweaking, a couple of lines need ADR, incidental music will be added, a few corrections made to the credits. However, since it's been made public and exhibited at the convention where it was shot, it only makes sense to share it with our website viewers. Once we're finished with this vignette, we'll replace this version with it.
