<div>My name is Joshua Irwin, and for the past eight years, I’ve poured my heart into creating Star Trek fan films as part of the Avalon Universe. For seven years we explored the 23rd century.

<div><strong>A new phase of storytelling:</strong>
</div>
<div>Last year, you helped us fund part of our shoot for our first 24th Century film “Ghost Crystal,” which took place in the early TNG Era. That film has wrapped and is now in the postproduction phase. I’m excited to take the next step in bringing new adventures to life in the 24th century with my latest project, “Phantoms.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What's it about:</strong>
</div>
<div>“Phantoms” tells a story that takes place ten years later in the Dominion War Era but will center on a different foe that will challenge our characters in the middle of that conflict. The plot centers on a Starfleet officer who becomes mysteriously immortal after encountering a powerful crystal tied to energy from a higher dimension of existence. When a second crystal appears, it triggers a conflict involving extra dimensional travelers, alien forces, and a dangerous figure known as “The Phantom,” who is hunting these crystals to gain reality-destroying power. The story blends space warfare, multiverse science fiction, and character drama, with themes about destiny, identity, and the burden of immortality.

</div>
<div><strong>Telling 24th century stories:</strong>
</div>
<div>After spending eight years making 23rd-century fan films, I wanted to expand the Avalon Universe concept and tell new stories in the 24th century. This project is a chance to push creative boundaries and share something fresh with the Star Trek fan community. Unlike previous films, these will be somewhat anthology-based stories, but with a common throughline.
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What are the funds for:</strong>
</div>
<div>This is the most important question. The funds raised will go directly toward travel costs for actors and crew, Air B&amp;B accommodations for the crew, and food to keep everyone fueled during the shoot. That's it. So many of the amazing things you will see on screen are being done by volunteers. And that's AMAZING!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution helps us bring “Phantoms” to life and ensures we can continue delivering the high-quality fan films our supporters have come to expect. We’re moving forward with the filming of this project to keep the wheels turning while others work on postproduction on the previous project. Since this is a fan-based project, people can only devote so much time in their lives to it, something we learned in our previous work. So, we want to complete the production of these stories in the next year, so that everyone can move on with the films completed.

</div>
<div><strong>The best props and costumes:</strong>
</div>
<div>With our story in the film spanning a decade, it'll be important to have just the right props and costumes for the eras. From Kristopher Schindler's "Cobrahead" and "Boomerang Phasers" to Frank Skony's hand made from scratch costumes. The volunteers on our team are working to give us the highest quality possible for fan films!

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Team:</strong>
</div>
<div>Our team for this project is stacked with fan film all-stars! Jonathon Janes who worked as producer on "Farragut 2024" will be organizing the project alongside myself as Executive Producer. My friend Ruth McCartney will be on top of continuity. Michele Reynolds will helm the makeup department as she has on past films. Frank Skony, who created our costumes for "Ghost Crystal" will be creating some Dominion War era costumes from scratch. Earl Hale will lead the sound department as he has on many past films including "Interlude"
</div>
<div>Keith Hamilton will return as visual fx supervisor, his past credits include "Farragut 2024" and a Best VFX win in the 2025 Fan Film Showrunner Awards for "La Morte de la Guerre".
