April 22, 2013  TEMPORARY HEADLINE:  Project Potemkin has temporarily released a rough cut of a live action fan film made at Trek Trax Atlanta over the weekend of April 20-21, 2013.  "Closing Time."  People participated not only from Project Potemkin (Georgia, USA), but also from Starship Reliant (Newfoundland, Canada), Starship Farragut (Washington, D.C. region and Georgia) and the Audio drama, Starship Valkyrie, with makeup provided by a member of Phase II/New Voyages. (Upstate New York)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=200p84H2aUo  (5:16).  I do not ordinarily give Headlines to films that are not in final form, but the very unusual way this film was made (at a Trek Convention) made me decide to make an exception.  I have not, however, watched it and will not watch it until it is released in final form.

ALSO Newly released: from Improvised Star Trek, an improv comedy group from Chicago,
Hlchop! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2bjc6U0tjI (3:11)  This is a love song in Klingon... with the appropriate attitude for Klingons.  For more Star Trek comedy from Improvised Star Trek, mostly audio, see http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/2009/06/130.html
