They seem to be more audio than film. Two recent film releases are a Christmas short, "It's A Wonderful Trek" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrxeLR76FSg#! (2:56).(Released Dec. 20, 2012)
and (on January 2, 2013)

Hlchop! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2bjc6U0tjI (3:11) This is a love son in Klingon... with the appropriate attitude for Klingons.
They have created this listing to clarify their relationship to the traditional Trek Timeline: http://bit.ly/sisyphustime .
It is not yet clear that this well retain a page rather than going under Comedy Shorts.
They also have live on stage offering for those who live in the area of Chicago. See http://paxtonconfiguration.blogspot.com/2013/02/final-frontier-of-fun-alliterations.html
"Three Long Days" from Improvised Star Trek. On March 23, 2019, they performed live on the Cards Against Humanity Comedy Stage at C2E2 in Chicago, IL. This is online on Youtube as a an audio recording with a slideshow of the performance: sort of halfway between an audio drama and a film! Improving their project management strategies causes the crew of the Sisyphus more problems than they can count on their many limbs. https://youtu.be/8kewURRv0wo (47:04).
The Naked Whenever LIVE at GenreThon 2019 the final performance from Improvised Star Trek after a ten year run! Something funky is afoot when the clothes on the USS Sisyphus go missing. The video includes cast warmups, the full episode begins at 15:00. Recorded August 24, 2019 at the OtherWorld Theatre in Chicago, IL. Winner of "Best of the Fest" for GenreThon 2019. https://youtu.be/xmWOtufiWqc (59:17) released 1 Sep 2019.
Evidently "final performance" doesn't mean the last time are to hear this cast of talented improv artists! After doing a couple of live watch-a-longs of classic Star Trek episodes...
