The Star Trek fan film “Starship Farragut” is based on the original Star Trek television series, following the adventures of the crew aboard the USS Farragut. It features live-action episodes, animated episodes, and a comic book, and was produced by Farragut Films from 2007 to 2021.
From IMDB: Fan-made show based on the original Star Trek series follows the adventures of Federation Starship Farragut, its crew and Captain John Thomas (Jack) Carter. Set in the same era as the original ST series (TOS.)
After two finely made Animations and a half dozen other programs, the show was relaunched recently as Farragut Forward. Farragut Forward is a Star Trek fan production that is a continuation of the adventures from the long-running fan series Starship Farragut. Set in the 1980s Star Trek movie era, it is a partnership between Farragut Films and Kaotica Studios.
The first of the “Forward” series will soon be posted on our Martian Poop Roku channel (Free and without any commercialization.) Meanwhile, you may watch it here via Youtube. Note that I found a version that is not monetized, which is the way Fan Films are supposed to work 🙂 Read more below…
Farragut stars John Broughton as Captain John Carter, Michael Bednar as Commander Robert Tacket, and Holly Bednar as Chief Engineer Michelle Smithfield with an ensemble cast. The premise is simply put, “New Ship, New Crew, New Adventures”. The episodes “For Want of a Nail” and “A Rock and a Hard Place” won the award for Best Fan Film at the Wrath of Con Film Festival in Panama City, Florida in 2008 and 2009 respectively.[42] As of April 2020 seven episodes had been released. The eighth and series finale “Homecoming” was released in 2021.[43] In 2022, production on a follow-up project entitled Farragut Forward began production in conjunction with Kaotica Studios, moving the storyline forward into the “Movie Era”, putting members of the crew aboard the Miranda-class (similar to the USS Reliant seen in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) USS Farragut (NCC-1941).[44]
