May 27, 2014.  Find No. 52, a collection of short films.
(A.)   Star Trek: The Beginning, a trailer for a Star Trek movie by a fan based on the style of JJA Trek, but not the idea.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HN1H_ShuIo (1:32), https://vimeo.com/4357030 (1:32)
(B.)   Innerspace Pictures Presents: (1) Star Trek: The Ulysses Incident  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZeRy0IfpXE (3:56) and (2) Star Trek" Allegheny  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7edvMkP9J0 (5:54).  Two short silver age dramas with one actor, green screens, CGI.  Both are about a shuttle docking.   Long credits make them appear closer to 10 minutes than they are.
(C.)   Star Trek Achievements (misspellings on both the posting and in the film).  A tribute film, not a story.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7koTGg8uzI (4:37).  Reverent.
(D.)   "Star Trek: Academy Training" Home made kids movie 1989.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40C1-tMJvXE&feature=related (10:21).  Remake of Ballance of Terror as ad-libbed by 9 year olds on a TOS bridge in TNG uniforms.  If you cut the title and credits, it would be under 10 minutes.  Filmmaker used VHS tape, and gives a lot of details of how this was made.  See also his channel,   http://www.youtube.com/user/startrekfiero#p/u
(E.)   Mr. Bill visits the Star Trek Enterprise  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FtIIJC-pj4 (1:12)  No narration, I'm not sure what was intended.
For more 'other short films' see  http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/2009/06/207.html .  A collection of movie trailers is being organized, and will absorb some of the 'short films.'
