29: We Made That Together

Robin Heirt Talks Star Trek Dark Armada.


A group of fans from the Netherlands are hard at work making Star
Trek fan films and proving, once again, that Star Trek fandom
crosses all borders. In this episode of Continuing Mission, host
Dennis Castello interviews Robin Heirt, the executive producer of
Star Trek Dark Armada, to find out what it's like to be a Star
Trek fan in the Netherlands. Robin also talks about the learning
curve they went through making their past episodes, why they
decided on the post-Voyager era as “their Trek,” and their plans
to turn Star Trek Dark Armada into Star Trek Batavia.
