49: C Is for Convergence

Sam Cockings talks about his fan film.


Co-host of the web series Trekyards, which focuses on the ships
of Star Trek, Sam Cockings loves to share his passion for the
franchise. This extends beyond deep dives into vessels to
actually bringing new Trek stories to life through fan films.
It’s an incredible creative release for some of the most diehard
fans, but one that is not without pitfalls.


In this episode of Continuing Mission, host Tony Robinson is
joined by Sam to learn what happened when his previous film
project went head to head with CBS. We also discuss his latest
venture, Convergence, and how it enters the realm of crossovers
by gathering actors from multiple past productions to save the
universe from total annihilation. The storyline is incredibly
exciting and sure to please the most ardent Star Trek fan.


This is part two of a two-part interview with Sam, the first part
of which can be found on Continuing Mission 44.
