The release of "Yorktown: A Time to Heal" in 2022 represents the culmination of professional and fan efforts to bring a 38 year journey from a teenager's first fan film to a close. A tragic terrorist attack on the USS Yorktown has remifications long after that allow a young man to come to terms with personal loss.

Released by Roland Baron. "This is a VFX teaser trailer for the Fan-Film "Yorktown: A Time to Heal." The film stars George Takei. Principle photography took place in 1986. But the film was never finished because of the difficulty in producing the visual effects in the 80's. Recently I was asked to help out and do the VFX for the film. The Second ship is a Refit version of the "Yorktown" and was designed by Andrew Probert. It is a transitional design incorporating elements of the Original Series and Andrew Probert's TMP refit design."
