5 This listing has not been updated in four years. It always needed more detail on some groups to be more useful. The user can scan this for Drama or Comedy, live action, animation, mechinima, puppets, or other forms. For Audio, see Audio listings. Ideally there would be a little additional detail to help the watcher pick a set of films to consider. I currently list 66 groups of the over 90 listed in this website which have produced fan films. Most that are currently producing a film and have already put out significant output ("significant" is arbitrarily defined by me.) do not have their own listings, if they have not produced a full film. Abandon projects by groups that have completed projects will be found under the producer's webpage or, in the case of Hidden Frontier, webpages, here.
These Star Trek Fan Films are set in the past, the present day or in the future but prior to the Stone Age which begins 2150 AD (or CE).

Blog 7:
Steam Trek. Historical recreation, live action. This tribute to Trek and the beginnings of film tells a story which is part 20,000 leagues under the sea, part Perils of Pauline, and yes, part Star Trek, in black and white and in the style of early silent films. I have also included links to two genuine early silent films so that the reader can compare this recreation to the real thing. One, a Trip to the Moon, is said to include the first special effects, the second, The Great Train Robbery, the first to tell a story.
Blog 8,
Stone Trek. Comedy, animation. Several films, Star Trek in the animation style of the Flintstones, but no Fred, Wilma, Barney, Betty, Bam Bam or Pebbles in sight. The comedy style may be Flintstones, but these stories are 100 per cent Star Trek, or whatever other franchise is being satirized.
