Tommy Kraft and Actors Look Back.
Since it's public launch in February 2016, Star Trek Horizon has
become a bigger hit than anyone—especially creator Tommy Kraft—ever
expected. The fan film that serves as a follow-up to Enterprise
delivers the Romulan War storyline that fans were hoping for from
the show's fifth season. Centered on the crew of the USS Discovery
NX-04, Horizon is an example of how to make the most of limited
resources to create a product that can holds its own against studio
productions.
In this episode of Continuing Mission, host Dennis Castello is
joined by Tommy as well as two of the stars of Horizon—Paul Lang,
who plays Captain Harrison Hawke, and Ryan Webber, who plays
Commander Francis Brookes—for an in-depth discussion about the
decisions made in the writing, casting, directing, and look of the
film. We also hear first-hand their thoughts on how fans have
reacted to their creation.
