The Truth Within: A Star Trek Fan Production 

I think that's when star trek works best. I'm glad you enjoyed it

Thank you David! That's something you do very well in your films.

I'm really glad that we were able to find a way for you to be a part of it! Your support has meant the world to us! Christina is Team Avalon!

Huge hugs and congratulations

Kevin, your support means the world to me. Thank you!

@@vanceamania Everyone there over at No Budget Productions is utterly brilliant, intelligent, so wonderfully creative. You guys & gals bring the truest sense of what Star Trek really is to us all, bending over backwards, producing such beautiful, unique, inspiring, incredible, amazing, fantastic episodes that showcase Gene Roddenberry’s dream. I’m always in complete awe of the wonderful staff, & crew who bring us all along, to “Strange New Worlds”, “Seeking Out New Life, & New Civilizations.” To “Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before…”!! When I come to your awesome channel…it’s like coming back to a welcome home, somewhere I feel comfortable and belong. I truly appreciate everything that you guys do to give us all the best quality entertainment with each new episode. Thank you all. Everyone over at NBP is so truly beloved…..

@@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692 The guys that were left to die, were probably not big fans of a federation that puts a principle, ahead of life. Piccard would have beamed them up, because it is the right thing to do. "Q" is right. The trial is never over!

glad you enjoyed the film

thank you so much for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it

glad you enjoyed it

Thank you so much for your kind words!

really glad you enjoyed this brother

Piccard wouldn't think twice about it. "Beam them up Mr. Laforge" We will deal with the morality issues later!

glad you enjoyed it

Thank you! That truly means a lot!

glad you enjoyed it

This was filmed during the height of Covid Lockdowns in 2020. Having the actors together was impossible. The film was purposely written this way to be something we could do during Covid. It wasn’t “open comms” there are secure channels in Stafleet. The Tunic the actor wore was the only one available at the studio on the day of filming.

It wasn’t meant as an insult but constructive criticism. It was clear they were both on the same starship so having the actors together would have made more sense. The COVID issues certainly make the choices more understandable.

Me too. I would have dropped air and supplies to them. Which would have left them wondering who did it and thus contaminated their culture with knowledge of advanced aliens. Dereliction of duty for a Starfleet officer. I guess I would have reacted like Captain Tracy of the Exeter watching the Coms being defeated by the Yangs.

He wanted to.

Piccard would have saved them!

He didn't die, he just... Disappeared.

I wish I could give you good news on that. She's talked about the possibility of doing her own film that would be a resolution for her character. I would love to see her do that and left the character's fate open ended so she can. Unfortunately, we had creative differences on the future vision of the project. But I wish her great success.

I'm honored you liked minard enough to watch this particular film. thank you

@@joshuairwin2016 Ah well, I didn't expect a response so thank you very much. Don't get me wrong, Captain Ramirez is a well written character he just isn't quite the main Captain I was set on. So no ill will to them or you. HOWEVER, you have to theoretically promise to consider remembering not to let any other female starfleet officers do knife fights. No one was better than Commander Beck.

@@vanceamania I have been watching everything I can about Minard recently. Has helped pass the time between Avalon films. But also because even JUST in Avalon Universe in a vaccume there is something about the way you play him. I also been occasionally checking out some of the series he has shown up in. A Multiverse of Minard DOES takes a minute to catch up on.

@@mattatobin For what it's worth... Behind the scenes "Captain Ramirez" choreographed those knife fights, so...

thank you very much. I appreciate it

Thank you for your kind words!

thank you

Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words, and the time you took to watch our film!

@@joshuairwin2016 I love this series. I've seen all of them easily over 4-5 times. The characters really are the best. The writing acting, and directing, sends me back to my childhood watching the TOS. My wife remembers watching on B&W TV. She shares my feelings about what you do. You're the best! 👍 ❤️👍

Thank you Ray! I can't wait for you to be a part of this!

ray!! glad you enjoyed it brother!!

Thank you Richard!

glad you enjoyed it brother

Unfortunately Chuck left with Victoria Fox when she and I parted ways. He had I have spoken many times since then. And I respected his decision.

The alternative was keeping them prisoner in the Federation for the rest of their lives

Even saving the two astronauts and never letting them go home afterwards, so as to avoid cultural contamination, would affect the development of their society. What happens when their society sends another shuttle to investigate the loss of the first one, and discovers that there are no bodies aboard it? Imagine the alien abduction conspiracy theories that could result from such an inexplicable event, and how such theories could affect the society’s views towards alien cultures.
