You're about to embark on an epic journey into the world of Trek -- a world you've never experienced before like this.
A story that promises to not only entertain, but to bring tears to your eyes and pride to your heart.
Join us in changing the face of Trek fanfilms.
<< From their website: Hidden Frontier is set after the Dominion War featured in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
When Rob Caves, Executive Producer created Hidden Frontier, he wanted to combine the best elements of the Next Generation era Trek shows he grew up with. On Hidden Frontier, we have a space station, Deep Space Twelve, as well as a starship, the Galaxy Class U.S.S. Excelsior, NCC-77246. This allows us to explore the Star Trek universe in just about any way our writers can imagine.
It's important to remember that Hidden Frontier is produced on no budget so instead of building fancy sets, piling on effects, and shooting in exotic locations, we've decided to focus on what we can improve. That means our stories became more character driven as the show evolved. After all, that's what Star Trek is really about. The people, and the human condition. Once the writing improved, we started to tackle areas like costuming and makeup.
Hidden Frontier tries to boldly follow what has come before while exploring new issues Star Trek has not yet tackled. The inclusion of a gay male character in season 2's "Encke" was yet another bold step forward for Star Trek. In the very same season we produced, "Cowards Death", a story that explored the realities of living with clinical depression. And later in season five "Security Counsel" explored a planet where the government was allowed to slowly chip away at its people's freedoms in an eerie commentary on our troubled times. We hope you find our stories captivating and original, true to the spirit of Trek, and we hope you have as much fun watching the show as we did making it! >>
Gene Roddenberry would be proud of the Diversity shown in Hidden Frontier... something he always dreamed of but sadly died before they could come to fruition. I suggest watching a couple from Season 6, as it really shows how far the new crew has gone in the development of this series. Then start at the beginning at Season 1.
My favourite quote is when an ensign asks Captain Shelby what Roe Nevin ‘sees’ in a Klingon.., and she replies “Ridges.. it’s about ridges!” And the fact that the young Roe Nevin is in and out of the closet, with whom Cory Aster is in love with. Not being able to have a stable relationship with Nevin, Cory Aster goes on to explore a relationship with Jorian, a Trill that ends up getting joined, thus causing distress to Aster. You will have to watch the series to see how it turns out. I am not one to include too many spoilers – but the shows are well worth watching.
All movies are downloadable for free and use the .mov (Quicktime) format from the site:
