Voyage Trekkers – the adventures of the galaxy’s worst Starship crew

The upcoming new web series "Voyage Trekkers" is a comedy set on board what is the "worst" Starship in the galaxy, with a crew to match. Show creator Nathan Blackwell tells TrekMovie Voyage Trekkies is a love-letter to Star Trek, along the lines of Galaxy Quest.  The show dispenses with with the usual exposition and resolution and just drop viewers into the middle of the adventures of the hapless crew and their mishaps. The show’s tagline is "These are the voyages that don’t make the Captain’s log."

The show premiers on Monday July 18th on YouTube. There are a total of ten 2-3 minute episodes planned, with new episodes coming out each Monday.  Episodes plotlines include having the crew dealing with getting bad directions  and having the Captain trying to issue orders during a battle from his quarters while he tries to seduce a space babe.

Voyage Trekkies is produced by Phoenix-based Squishy Studios and Inside Creative Minds Media. Blackwell is the head writer, director, and show-runner. Visual effects are being done by students from the Art Institute of Phoenix. AIP’s David Stipes, who did effects for Star Trek TNG and DS9, is also acting as consultant. The show stars Adam Rini (Captain Sunstrike) of the comedy group Bully Mammoth and Gabrielle Van Buren (Doctor Rena), and Logan Blackwell (Commander Powell). All are part of the "stock Squishy Studios players" that have been in several previous short films.

Hi everyone!  I was surfing google when I found this page.  I'm the writer and director of "Voyage Trekkers."  If anyone has any questions about the show I'd be happy to give them a go.  Thanks for posting this by the way, ewm90!

Here's a little backstory on the project:  The show is definitely a low-budget affair.  We spent on the series what most of what my filmmaker friends spend on a single short film.  Everyone volunteered their time because they just wanted to have a good time, so all the money went to costumes, props, and feeding people.

Aside from not having sets using stolen apple store designs, and lens flare took from bethesda games, this could almost be a replacement for the trek reboot.


Yeah, I liekd it.
