The raw footage for this movie was produced using Trek-themed computer games (a process known as machinima) and then heavily edited to create the final movie.
This movie re-purposes the games' voice-over clips to create a new plotline, allowing canon characters to appear with the voices of their original actors, notably Sir Patrick Stewart as Picard and Tim Russ as Tuvok.
This fan movie was featured in the exhibit "Star Trek: 40 Years of Fandom" at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, New York.
Over one million videos (ten minute segments) of this movie were downloaded from the Internet in the first seven months following the movie's release on-line.
