Last year Gary O’Brien and his friend set about making their next short film in the United Kingdom, they didn’t realise at the time but a year later they would be set to premiere a quality production set in the Star Trek universe, embracing the guidelines railed by so many. Their short would feature two groups of two characters interacting with each other in a very simple setting telling an effective story.

While it is a little slow in some parts, the plot twist in the third part of the short pays the audience off with a quality TOS-style spin. I caught up with Gary O’Brien, the director and writer, today just before the February 1 premiere.
