Sun Apr 18 15:02:26 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:For example, we were somtimes criticized for focusing on the "extreme" fans and now showing enough "normal" fans. Sun Apr 18 15:03:08 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:We wanted to ask the fans themselves to define what is too extreme for a fan and what they consider "normal" behavior for a fan.

It falls right into the extremes vs. the normal fans Sun Apr 18 15:03:36 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:The stereotype is based on the most visible fans, who are often the most extreme. Sun Apr 18 15:03:53 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:This is what Brannon Braga told us on that subject: Sun Apr 18 15:03:53 2004: master_q [0/] Msg:That makes sense Sun Apr 18 15:04:33 2004: odie [0/] AAS-Login: Sun Apr 18 15:04:34 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:"If you were to make a documentary on what the majority of the ST fans were like it would probably make a pretty boring documentary." Sun Apr 18 15:05:31 2004: master_q [0/] Msg:So you wanted to expand on the side of the more 'extreme fans' Sun Apr 18 15:05:41 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:If you made a doc about sports fans, you wouldn't focus on the average players, you would focus on the exceptional players. So I think Exceptional is a better word than Extreme to descripe the fans we profiled this time. Willi is a great example of that.

Sun Apr 18 15:06:35 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:I think it's exceptional the fact that the fans do charity work as a part of their fandom. WIlli told us about how he works to raise money for aids children, and that's in the film.

But they all had one thing in common... Sun Apr 18 15:07:51 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:No matter where we went, you could take ST fans from any country and put them all in a room and they would all belong. Sun Apr 18 15:08:29 2004: master_q [0/] Msg:I definitely could see that Sun Apr 18 15:08:39 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:Because despite any difference, they all share a similar philosophy, as a group of people, and it's the same as Gene Roddenberry's philosophies behind the show. Sun Apr 18 15:09:27 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:They are a group of very positive people. I find that much more interesting than the negativity that pervades some other groups of people.

Roger, before all of you began to work on Trekkies 2, you successfully made the first Trekkies [in 1996]... Sun Apr 18 15:11:55 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:There is a country that the US bombed 4 or 5 years ago. So we were a little nervous about going there, hoping they wouldn't have an risidual animosity against Americans and take it out on us.

Sun Apr 18 15:12:32 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:And they didn't they were the sweetest people, simply exstatic that we were there to document their first ever ST convention in the Balkans. Sun Apr 18 15:12:58 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:We shot T1 in 96-97. Sun Apr 18 15:13:10 2004: master_q [0/] Msg:Did you learn anything new once you gained a broader perspective after filming the second Trekkies? Sun Apr 18 15:13:12 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:Paramount released it in the US in 99.

Everywhere there is television, there are ST fans. A good idea takes root, no matter where you plant it. Sun Apr 18 15:14:46 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:This show is just one of those special ideas that people respond to everywhere. Sun Apr 18 15:15:18 2004: master_q [0/] Msg:Yeah, it is pretty amazing. Just in this chat room ---- we have people from the u.s. and from places like Germany. Sun Apr 18 15:15:31 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:The Serbians grabbed onto the hope the show provides for a brighter future,while they were in the middle of oppression, a crisis, a war, a famine... Sun Apr 18 15:15:46 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:It's cool to be a ST fan in Germany. Sun Apr 18 15:16:33 2004: master_q [0/] Msg:Roger, approximately how long did it take to make Trekkies 2? Sun Apr 18 15:16:34 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:Anywhere you find computers, you find ST fans. And Germany has a lot of computers. Sun Apr 18 15:16:43 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:1 year...

Sun Apr 18 15:23:24 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:It's the usual route for indie films to screen at festivals (if they will accept your film). Although the second time around we are a "Studio" film, we will still be doing some festival screenings because... Sun Apr 18 15:24:11 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:the film still has the independent spirit. We had final cut and were allowed to make the documentary we wanted without any interference. Sun Apr 18 15:24:39 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:You will see some things that probably wouldn't be in there if it was a studio controlled piece. Sun Apr 18 15:25:07 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:For example, we asked people to make predictions for the show, and not everybody was positive in it's future. Sun Apr 18 15:25:32 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:Although, even so, they were usually still hopeful. Sun Apr 18 15:25:37 2004: master_q [0/] Msg:Yeah, it has been going through some rough times.

Were you still a Trek fan as an adult, or did meeting the fans during filming "convert" you? Sun Apr 18 15:26:51 2004: master_q [0/] Msg:Yeah, I agree with that. It does need a rest. Sun Apr 18 15:27:28 2004: trekkies2 [0/] Msg:I had sort of moved on to other shows, but had been to a Fangoria convention, and that reknidled my interest.
