star trek renegades the requiem

Fan Film Factor

Exploring the world of Star Trek fan films.

RENEGADES: “THE REQUIEM, Part 2” available on YouTube until AUGUST 28!

Back in June of 2016, on the second day of filming the first hour-long episode of STAR TREK: RENEGADES , “The Requiem,” the production team received a nasty and potentially catastrophic surprise. CBS and Paramount had just released a new set of guidelines for Star Trek fan films that would essentially stop Renegades in its tracks.

The timing of the release might not have been entirely coincidental.

Six months earlier, CBS and Paramount had “stopped” the fan film AXANAR with a huge, multi-million dollar copyright infringement lawsuit. But there were still many other fan productions out there using the Star Trek name and intellectual property. And while Axanar had been the first to cross the million-dollar threshold by raising $1.2 million in donations from thousands of fans, Renegades was hot on Axanar ‘s heels with (at the time) over $850K in crowd-funding, also from thousands of fans.

And while Axanar featured one veteran Star Trek actor reprising his role from canon (GARY GRAHAM as Soval), Renegades would feature TIM RUSS as Tuvok, WALTER KOENIG as Chekov, NICHELLE NICHOLS as Uhura, CIRROC LOFTON as Jake Sisko, TERRY FARREL as “Jadzia” (minus the Dax symbiont), ROBERT BELTRAN as Chakotay, ARON EISENBERG as Nog, and even HANA HATAE as a grown-up Molly O’Brien.

The previous year, Star Trek: Renegades had premiered a 90-minute fan film with a red carpet premiere at the historic Crest Theatre in Westwood, Los Angeles, calling the project a “backdoor pilot”or “spec pilot” for CBS to consider. Late in 2015, CBS requested (politely) that the Renegades team stop referring to their fan film as a pilot, a request they quickly compiled with. So instead they announced plans to release 12 half-hour webisodes per year (or “season”) oftheir spinoff Star Trek series, with “The Requiem” being the kickoff full-hour episode.

But the guidelines put the kibosh on all of that. No longer permitted to use Star Trek veteran actors or crew people, no longer allowed to pay professions, and constrained to no more than two 15-minute episodes and no sequels or seasons or ongoing series, Renegades had been effectively castrated as a Star Trek fan production before production come even get up to speed.

So a fateful decision was made. The script was quickly edited to remove all references to any Star Trek character or race or technology. The Federation became the “Confederation.” Chekov became “The Admiral.” The Romulans became the Rigelians.  The CGI ships would be redesigned.  Nog would trade in his Ferengi make-up for something totally new. The footage shot the first day had to be digitally manipulated to remove the Starfleet insignia comm badges. It was a mad scramble, but it ultimately resulted in the new independent film project: RENEGADES: THE SERIES .

“The Requiem, Part 1” debuted in February of 2017 exclusively to donors.  Two months later, it was released to the general public…but not on YouTube.  Instead, it was behind a firewall requiring a sign-up first.  Although free to view, some fans objected to having to share their contact information before being allowed to see a fan film.

On July 6, 2017, “The Requiem, Part 1” was finally released with no firewall onto YouTube for free viewing by anyone…

And a week later on July 12, “The Requiem, Part 2” was shown for the first time at a theater in North Hollywood…along with Part 1.  Like the red carpet premiere in Westwood two years earlier, the cast and crew attended, with tickets sold to donors at $20 each.   Here’s the blog   with photos and descriptions of that special event.

But since then, “The Requiem, Part 2” has never been posted to YouTube. Although still available behind the firewall on the AtomicTV website , many fans didn’t bother to go through the process of creating an account and have therefore never seen the conclusion…which features a stellar final scene with Walter Koenig. fast fake id

However, as a special tie-in to the 15-day Kickstarter for the new Renegades project OMINARA with Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig (more on that in my next blog!), “The Requiem, Part 2” is being posted for free on YouTube for a limited time—until August 28, 2020.

So watch it now while you can…!

2 thoughts on “RENEGADES: “THE REQUIEM, Part 2” available on YouTube until AUGUST 28!”

Thanks so much for drawing my attention to this. I stayed away from Requiem part 1 until now because, for exactly the reasons you gave, I did not fancy giving my personal details out to watch part 2. Anyway, I’ve just found time to watch it all with the attention it deserves and it was fantastic (FANtastic I mean 🙂 ). Sure, they were compressing a story that would have played out over a series into an hour with limited locations, but, overall, it was great!

I have to say that the one thing that strikes me about this is the speed with which they turned around the production. I’m not knocking others (well possibly one, but I… well no, I shouldn’t, because I only watch the things, not make them) but I think they did it quicker than Interlude, which I think has been one of the faster higher quality productions. When it’s your own work (and I do some creative stuff in other fields) I can appreciate these things take time and it’s hard to know when to stop tweaking.

Really looking forward to Romulan War btw, which I see you’ve just featured.

I think the comparison to Interlude might be a little unfair, Alastair, simply because the Renegades folks had hundreds of thousands of dollars to work with and could pay their people respectable sums of money to prioritize production and post production tasks. They also had a much larger crew. I had 50 people, $20K, and mainly volunteers (we paid the caterer, of course, and some folks were reimbursed for travel and lodging expenses). As for comparisons to Axanar, that’s not exactly apples to apples either. The lawsuit shut down production for a year, forced a move across country, and required a start-from-scratch crowd-funding initiative that has been hampered by Alec’s inability (because of the settlement) to publicly promote where and how to make donations. And keep in mind that Axanar managed to do three shoots in five months and only needs one more. Had the pandemic not happened, all of the footage would have already been in the can by now, leaving only post production to finance and complete.

‘Renegades: The Requiem’ Releases!

Renegades: The Requiem

What a long, strange trip it’s been.  Renegades,  the new science fiction web series that looks and feels a lot like  Star Trek  (but isn’t) is finally ready with the next two full length episodes. The story is called Renegades: The Requiem,  and continues the story begun in the original production, with the same actors, but with the symbols and names that tie it directly to  Star Trek  removed.

The soul and spirit of the production, however, remain unbowed. On Thursday, February 2, they are releasing a confidential password for all official donors to  Renegades: The Requiem so that they can stream and watch this history-making dual episode finale. Actors in everything from the original  Star Trek  to  Xena: Warrior Princess  make it a remarkable event in the history of fandom.

Originally begun in 2015 as an attempt to pitch a new  Star Trek  series to CBS,  Renegades  began life as  Star Trek: Renegades.   The project is headed up by producer Sky Conway, and executive producer Joshua B. Cole, but some of the actors are names you’ll recognize: Tim Russ (Tuvok from  Star Trek: Voyager),  Walter Koenig ( Star Trek,  the original series), Manu Intiraymi, (Icheb from  Star Trek: Voyager),  Adrienne Wilkinson (Xena’s daughter Livia/Eve from  Xena: Warrior Princess), Sean Young (she played opposite Harrison Ford in  Bladerunner),  and a lot of other familiar names. The cast list reads like a Who’s Who in science fiction movies.

The ultimate goal has shifted, in light of the law suit levied by CBS and Paramount against another fan film,  Axanar.  The draconian – and mostly unworkable – regulations the two media companies have placed on fan productions have made  Star Trek  a very toxic place to be for fans wanting to make fan films in tribute to their favorite science fiction franchise. CBS and Paramount could have had a role in this exciting new series, that would certainly have reinforced and expanded the world of  Star Trek  for generations to come. Instead, they get nothing, and  Renegades  is free to fly the galaxy unfettered.

The sky is not the limit.

Renegades: the requiem: part 1.

2017 Directed by Tim Russ

Everything the Admiral has feared for the Confederation, begins to come to pass. As a secret cabal enacts plans for galactic dominance on a scale never before seen, The Admiral and his crack team of Renegades do everything in their power to stop them. But their enemy is more powerful than they can imagine and The Admiral is left with a decision he never wanted to make. But will the sacrifice be too great?

Review by kevmitch ★★★

Ok, so now I've officially watched the more popular Star Trek fan productions. After going back to the 2000s productions, you really appreciate the improvement in production values in these later ones. The cast is also pretty impressive here. The acting is a bit all over the place and the writing is, well, not great.

WATCH: ‘Star Trek: Renegades’ Now Available For Free

“Star Trek: Renegades,” directed by Tim Russ and starring Walter Koenig, Adrienne Wilkinson, Sean Young, Manu Intiraymi, Gary Graham, Robert Picardo, Corin Nemec, Bruce Young, Tim Russ, Chasty Ballesteros, and Edward Furlong, is now available to view in its entirety for FREE online. The feature-length film, which was successfully crowd-funded in 2013, has been made available to fans via YouTube.

Clocking in at just under an hour-and-a-half, the feature is now being used as a pilot for a fan-supported online series.

Scroll down to watch the entire film embedded below.

When a seemingly unstoppable new enemy threatens the very existence of the Earth, Admiral Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig) is forced to work outside the boundaries of Starfleet’s rules to combat this deadly new foe. When planet after planet winks out of existence, yet Starfleet refuses to act, Chekov turns to Commander Tuvok (Tim Russ, who also directs), the new head of Starfleet’s covert operations division, Section 31. Together, they assemble a new elite strike-force, consisting of rogues, outcasts and criminals, led by the fearless yet haunted Lexxa Singh (Adrienne Wilkinson). The Renegades’ mission is simple: take on an army and stop their leader, Borrada (Bruce Young), from destroying the Earth. Outnumbered and outgunned, the ragtag crew is in an adrenaline-pumping race against time and space. But they soon find their foes are the least of their concerns: the real trouble may be coming from within!

Star Trek Renegades – Star Trek’s own answer to both The Dirty Dozen and Blake’s Seven

If E.M. Nathanson had seen his classic anti-war novel ‘The Dirty Dozen’ converted into a classic Star Trek adventure, he probably would have been flattered. But, if he had seen his classic story, or the concept thereof, turned into something like Star Trek Renegades, he would have been bored to death by it and fallen asleep during its showing.

No doubt I did and I had to go through a second viewing. Or at the very least, picked up where I dozed off.

Thankfully, MGM did a better job in 1967.

All that aside, the plot of the Star Trek film is this.

Set a decade after the return of the Starship Voyager, some strange phenomena is erupting in certain sectors of the galaxy.

When a seemingly unstoppable new enemy threatens the very existence of the Earth, Admiral Pavel Chekov is forced to work outside the boundaries of Starfleet’s rules to combat this deadly new foe.

When planet after planet winks out of existence, Starfleet refuses to act. As a result of the current intergalactic crisis, Chekov turns to Commander Tuvok (Tim Russ, who also directs), the new head of Starfleet’s covert operations division, Section 31. Together, they assemble a new elite strike-force, consisting of rogues, outcasts and criminals, led by the fearless yet haunted Lexxa Singh (Adrienne Wilkinson). A woman who is surprisingly the daughter of the ill-fated and Khan Noonian SIngh, himself.

The Renegades’ mission is simple: take on an army and stop their leader, Borrada from destroying the Earth with his space-folding technology. Outnumbered and outgunned, the ragtag crew is in an adrenaline-pumping race against time. But they soon find their foes are the least of their concerns: the real trouble may be coming from within!

The tag-line wasn’t kidding when it said boldly going where no Star Trek has gone before.

And as our favorite Russian character(i.e. Pavel Chekov)points out in the film, ‘How far is too far?’

Judging by the end results, Sky Conway, Tim Russ, and even Alec Peters, himself went too far.

It is no wonder that CBS/Paramount rejected the idea of turning this pilot episode into a series. Assuming if you believe such a story.

Honestly, this film almost makes Conway’s first effort(i.e. Star Trek – Of Gods And Men)tolerable, despite that film’s own shortcomings.

Okay, here are my gripes about this latest fan funded endeavor.

1. Walter Koenig once stated that his appearance as a much older Pavel Chekov in the Star Trek – New Voyages/Phase II episode ‘To Serve All My Days’ would be his last appearance as the stalwart Russian officer. That it was his way of saying good bye to the character of Chekov and bringing the character a sense of closure. If that was the case, then why did he decide to return as a 142 year old version of Chekov? Was he taking a cue from the late Leonard Nimoy? Who knows?

2. Vic Mignogna. Seriously, does this man have to be in every Star Trek production or incarnation, thereof? Whoever said that Vic was The Doomsday Machine of Star Trek fan films was not joking. His performance in his P2 rip-off Star Trek Continues proves that point. His antics on the set of Star Trek-Phase II’s ‘Kitumba’ was so bad that it was one of the many factors that made james Cawley turn the role of Jim Kirk over to professional actor Brian Gross. Mignogna’s antics even caused David Gerrold’s P2 episode ‘The Protracted Man’ to be scrapped. Then his and certain other individuals involvement in the theft of the Starship Ajax production’s newly built sets caused Ajax to be set back to the point of no return, and give the Starship Farragut production’s own reputation a severe tarnishing and major ruining(i.e. a black eye). Anyone from those productions that will tell you any different is just trying to create a smokescreen and cover their tracks. The role of the ill-fated Cardassian Garis certainly fit Mignogna like a glove and the character’s death all the more refreshing. As well as the derogatory descriptions branded the character by some of the leads(i.e. blasphemor, coward, butcher, etc). I’m amazed that Michele Specht was not in this dud in some supporting role.

3. When on Earth did Khan Noonian Singh have time to have a daughter? Seriously? A daughter? Unless this happened back in 1996 before Khan and his ill-fated folowers fled Earth in the Botany Bay, the very idea of Lexxa Singh’s existence is a pretty far fetched one. An idea that stretches credibility to the very breaking point. The late Ricardo Montalban and Benedict Cumberbatch must be wondering the same thing.

4. The production design not only looked cheap, the CGI effects were not all that up to par. It is almost as if both Conway and Russ were trying to cheaply copy the CGI effects that was used in the science fiction classic Babylon 5(which also starred Walter Koenig in the recurring role of Psi-Cop Alfred Bester).

5. Finally, some of the sound effects used in this episode were borrowed from the science fiction classics Space:1999 and the original Battlestar Galactica. Something that was done quite often on Phase II and Starship Farragut. Note to those involved in Star Trek fan productions, use your own sound effects or those from Star Trek instead of recycling others from different science fiction productions. You can do better than that.

While I found the new Starfleet Uniforms a bit interesting and the idea that Starfleet’s own black ops department Section 31 has gone through a complete overhaul, plus the idea that a century old Pavel Chekov is now a great grandfather, those elements really did nothing much to save Sky Conway’s second independent Star Trek film from total boredom.

While Star Trek Renegades boasted a cast from other Star Trek productions and those from other genre related productions(i.e. the latter being Louisville, Kentucky native Sean Young who starred in the classic Blade Runner and the surrealitic flop Dune, Corrin Nemec from Solar Crisis and Stargate SG-1, Edward Furlong from Terminator 2 – Judgement Day, and Herbert Jefferson, Jr from the original Battlestar Galactica), such a cast did little to make this Star Trek production an interesting one.

The Dirty Dozen concept was already used successfully in the original Battlestar Galactica two-parter ‘The Gun On Ice Planet Zero’. The Blake’s 7 format had fit perfectly in that universe. Unless the production had some clever ways of writing such scenarios and making them unique, they don’t really fit into the Star Trek universe.

If this is going to be a fan series, it is certainly not going to be an entertaining one.

To Sky Conway and Tim Russ, better luck next time gentleman. You’re going to need it.

Star Trek: Renegades stars Walter Koenig, Adrienne Wilkinson, Sean Young, Gary Graham, Robert Picardo, Corin Nemec, Tim Russ, Edward Furlong, John Corrigan, Richard Herd, Vic Mignogna, and Herbert Jefferson, Jr.
