Star Trek Fan Film Competition Marketing Contest! 🧵
If you are a fan of #GeneRoddenberry's #StarTrek then bear with me here, his original show is literally lightning in a bottle that peaked in the StarTrek TNG era!
You want to pump up the Star Trek hype back to that peak era? Competition is the key!
The hype alone will sell it!
So here’s the Win-Win idea:
Meet with Vic Mignogna the creator of Star Trek Continues and Alec Peters, the creator of #Axanar for this marketing film competition proposal.
-Give them a $10,000,000 budget each.
-Let them make their films with total creative control.
-Release both in theaters.
-The studio owns everything from the budget either way.
-If it flops, it’s cheap marketing for the Star Trek IP.
-If it hits, they’ve got a franchise or two that they didn’t have to invent, built by people who already proved they can capture the lightning in a bottle. ⚡️ 🍾
Think about it we have fan films like #StarTrekContinues that had pulled roughly 19,000,000 views on YouTube across its 11 episodes; the pilot alone sits at three point 9,000,000.
Starfleet Academy’s entire 10‑episode season pulled about 400,000 total views. That’s not a marketing gap. That’s a product gap, and it happened on the same platform, with a studio marketing machine behind it.
And the studio’s own numbers tell the same story.
The Kelvin trilogy, the 2009 reboot, Into Darkness, and Beyond, all together grossed about $1,200,000,000 combined, but after $200,000,000 budgets and marketing, the studio lost money on the whole run.
Beyond alone lost roughly $50,000,000.
Section 31, Kurtzman’s streaming film, got 17% on Rotten Tomatoes and pulled under 2,000,000 viewers. Starfleet Academy reportedly cost around $10,000,000 per episode and was canceled after one season. Discovery, Picard, and the whole Kurtzman expansion were rolled back after the #Skydance merger precisely because they were too expensive to sustain.
I mean, is it the only reason this Star Trek marketing movie competition doesn’t happen is that it works? 💁🏻♂️
How does someone like Kurtzman lose this badly for a studio over a decade and still get to make deconstructed Star Trek to the point it gets completely cancelled?
When on the other hand, these two fan show creators have exactly what it is that everyone loves about Star Trek, and are penalized for giving fans what they want...
That’s the question nobody at Paramount wants to answer, but let's leave all that behind, and move forward to make this happen #Paramount #CBS #SkyDance #WarnerBrothers, remember the risk Lucille Ball took on Gene Roddenberry and his vision of Star Trek? In comparison, this is a small risk with a Win-Win marketing situation for everyone, you the studios, the fan film creators, the fans and the general audience as well!
This marketing film competition could lead us all into a Golden Age of excellence in entertainment through Star Trek!
LET'S DO THIS!

This is what I think actually makes the most sense...💁🏻♂️
Imagine if Paramount/CBS actually trusted the fans for once.
Give Alec Peters (Axanar) and Vic Mignogna (Star Trek Continues) real budgets for one new pilot each. Put both online, free, and let the numbers decide which one gets the series order.
Context for the uninitiated:
• Prelude to Axanar (2014) has over 6 million YouTube views. It was so good it scared CBS into a lawsuit. Peters raised more than a million dollars from fans who just wanted classic Trek done right.
• Star Trek Continues (11 full episodes, 2013–2017) sits at roughly 23 million total channel views. Individual episodes regularly cleared 1–3.9 million views each on pure word-of-mouth. No marketing machine. No Paramount+ algorithm. Just fans who missed the real five-year mission.
Meanwhile, the Kurtzman-era shows needed hundreds of millions in studio money, exclusive streaming platforms, and heavy promotion just to post weekly Nielsen numbers in the 250–470 million minutes range on their best weeks. That's not even Impressive on paper… Don't forget the ridiculous budgets and the built-in subscriber base and those shows still couldn't draw a decent sized audience.
Two fan productions, made for a fraction of the cost of a single modern Trek episode, still pull multi-million organic views years later.
That’s not nostalgia.
That’s pure demand.
So here’s the challenge, Paramount: fund both pilots. Drop them the same day. No marketing spin. Let the views speak.
Whoever wins gets the series. Whoever loses still proved the point.
Real Star Trek is still out there. The fans already voted with their time. Now give them a real choice.

💁🏻♂️ Tune in next week for big surprise, when David Banner steps aboard the love boat and meets Julie, the ships entertainment director.
He just wants to do some research, but he quickly finds out that pimp convention cruises aren't as fun for him as they are the Hulk!

Rumors are swirling that @GinaCarano may return as #CaraDune, and we’re beyond excited! ✨🥳✨
She’s reportedly been in talks with Disney and Lucasfilm, which only fuels the buzz.
Cara Dune became a fan favorite in #TheMandalorian, with Gina’s powerful presence and the character’s strength leaving a big impression.
Her action figures sold out and now fetch high prices, and she draws long lines at conventions.
If these rumors turn out to be true, it’ll be a welcome return for a beloved character. Will she be in The Mandalorian, or will #JonFavreau finally get to make his #StarWars: #TheRangersOfTheNewRepublic like he originally wanted?

Are you a Truther?

Would you still share reality based truth if it meant getting mass-reported, shadowbanned, or canceled tomorrow?
(I mean almost everyone who has been doing so has experienced some form of censorship since around 2017)

I think @officialellymay totally nailed it here!
Can we push for the revival of The Smith-Mundt Act, but rename it the #CharlieKirkAct, @DonaldTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr? 🙏
The Smith-Mundt Act of 1948, officially the U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act, authorizes the State Department to create and disseminate information about the U.S. abroad via media like radio, films, and the internet to promote American policies and culture, while strictly prohibiting its distribution within the U.S. to avoid domestic propaganda.

Remembering the late great Gene Roddenberry! HBD! 🥳
August 19, 1921 - October 24, 1991
May you all LLAP 🖖😎
🤔 Gene Roddenberry American television screenwriter, producer and futurist created the original Star Trek television series. Alex Kurtzman was never a Star Trek fan, he destroyed the franchise by making it something that wasn’t in Roddenberry’s vision of the future! #ripstartrek
