Still alive. Surprise!
We’ve secured a space to construct modules of the set pieces for Polaris, and this weekend several of our cast and crew did a walk-through of the place. In the coming week we’ll continue moving equipment and supplies in, and this weekend begin building parts of the spacecraft interiors. We’re on schedule to start shooting video in a few months.
We’re crewing up. Alex Ibrahim is our Director of Photography. His company website can be found here. Among his many credits, fans of Internet science fiction films may be most familiar with his work for Star Trek: Phase II.
John Broughton, creator and producer of the Starship Farragut fan film series, is our Co-Producer and Costume Supervisor; if you’ve seen that production or many episodes of Phase II you’ve seen the extraordinarily high quality of his work.. Douglas S. Caprette, production assistant and extra on Star Trek: Phase II is our Construction Supervisor.
More cast and crew announcements will be forthcoming in the next several weeks, as well as photos of our work on the starship Polaris sets as it progresses.

This is going to be a great production. I’m eager to read more updates!
As for the time since the previous update, I know what it’s like to pursue a project like this while having a life: a job, family, etc. My project, Astronuts (http://www.shoestringscifi.com), has been in seemingly perpetual postproduction. Sad, but true. Fortunately it’s reaching another milestone very soon, and I’m sure that yours will as well.
The Polaris sihp designs — exterior and interior — look great. You have quite the talent pool!
Best,
Greg (”FalTorPan” on TrekBBS)

Congratulations!
I’m glad to see you’re still doing it.
I only wish I could help.
Break a leg.

Can hardly wait to see it all put together…one question…where’s the message board?
Comment by Dennis — 18 December 2009 @ 10:22 am
The message board is taking a holiday while I decide what’s the best direction and use of resources - time, money, creative focus - for the site. I came back from production to find literally hundreds of junk and spamborg registrations waiting in the approval que - you can’t take your eyes off of a forum for ten minutes without that kind of thing. No software filters that I’ve seen help very much.

There’s always CAPCHICA (SP?)?
Comment by admin — 20 December 2009 @ 3:08 pm
CAPTCHA doesn’t work with live human beings, only automated “spambots.”
