36: Trek Another Day

Chance Encounter with Gary O’Brien.


Gary O’Brien, director of the recently released Star Trek fan
film Chance Encounter, began his filmmaking career in his early
teens. His passion for the art led him to the opportunity to work
on the James Bond film Die Another Day, on which he was a visual
effects technician.


In this episode of Continuing Mission, host Tony Robinson talks
to Gary about those early days. Along the way, we discuss the
product of Gary’s latest filmmaking venture.
