PROJECT DISCOVERY cancels their Kickstarter campaign!

Project DiscoveryAlas, it was not meant to be…

TOMMY KRAFT, who rocketed to fan film fame with his amazing Star Trek: Horizon full-length feature, was called by CBS and told not to proceed with announced plans for a sequel he intended to call Federation Rising.  Instead, Tommy and his production partner Ryan Webber decided to create an original project titled PROJECT DISCOVERY, examining mankind’s earliest forays into manned interplanetary spaceflight in the mid-21st century.

Tommy and Ryan launched a Kickstarter campaign in late April with a 2-month time frame and an ambitious goal of $250,000.  Although they got off to a strong start, just short of a month into the campaign, pledges had stalled in the $17-18,000 range…barely 7% of the way to the goal while approaching the half-way point.

TIM “TUVOK” RUSS joins the cast of PROJECT DISCOVERY

Tim Russ - Project Discovery

TOMMY KRAFT, the dynamo behind the hugely successful NX-01-era fan film STAR TREK: HORIZON, is currently raising money for his next production, PROJECT: DISCOVERY.  Although not specifically a Star Trek fan film, it now has a definite Star Trek tie-in.  Tommy just announced that TIM RUSS, the actor who played Security Chief Tuvok on Star Trek: Voyager, will be joining the cast as director of the Earth Space Agency for Project Discovery.

The new, ambitious fan film has an equally ambitious Kickstarter goal of $250,000.  Right now, with 41 days left to go, the pledged total stands at just over $17,000…respectable, but there is a LONG way to go!  If you can, please consider helping with a donation of your own.  Remember that, if this Kickstarter campaign does not reach its goal, your credit card will not be charged.
