Come along as I live my dream of being a member of the greatest crew in Starfleet history, except things might be a bit more absurd than you remember. Growing up watching Star Trek The Next Generation, I fantasized about appearing on the show. Then when the show ended, I yearned for more episodes. This project is an attempt to live both those dreams simultaneously, recontextualizing footage from the show to create a new experience, while living out my Starfleet fantasy. I hope you have as much fun watching as I did creating!
