The “Star Trek: Phoenix” vignettes or micro short films were produced by Seattle film production companies Temporal Studios, 3rd Eye Films, and Sonnet Realm Films.

“We’ve got an amazing group of all-volunteer cast and crew of more then 150 people that dedicate their time, blood, sweat, and tears to make this production the best it can be,” said Leo Roberts, senior executive producer of “Star Trek: Phoenix” and founder of Temporal Studios.

“The vignettes are a way to share the world of ‘Star Trek: Phoenix’ with fans while we’re securing funds for the remaining of the pilot episode,” Roberts noted. “It also allows us to show potential investors how much we can do, and how we can maximize funds.”

The vignettes are available online at www.stphoenix.com and include “Hollow,” “Holo-Victory,” “No Other Medicine,”

“Third Degree” and “Fractured Logic.” The pilot episode, “Cloak and Dagger” is currently in production and principal photography will continue through the fall of this year.

All of the vignettes will be shown at the release party, along with a sneak peek at the pilot and opportunities to meet the cast and crew of “Star Trek: Phoenix.”
