• This is the story of Captain Pike when he first takes command of the Enterprise and his first mission aboard her. And with your help, it will lead into a Captain Pike Web Series.

INTERVIEW WITH WALTER KOENIG 

INTERVIEW WITH JORGE PALL0 - CAPTAIN SANDOVAL

INTERVIEW WITH TODD SHAWN TEI - CAPTAIN PIKE

Christopher Pike is the Captain seen in the original Star Trek Pilot “The Cage”, played by Jeffrey Hunter. He was Captain of the Enterprise before Captain Kirk. And his story has never been told in film, until now.

In the original Star Trek Pilot, “The Cage”, set in the year 2254. Captain Pike and his crew are returning from Rigel VII, where several members of the landing party were killed by the inhabitants.

The incident filled Pike with so much guilt that he is considering resigning his commission. But that’s all we know about Captain Pike, and we want to know so much more. Don’t you?

• This is an independent film project that will be helmed by professionals who all work in the entertainment industry. From cast and crew to writers, director, producers and actors.

THE LEAD CAST OF "CAPTAIN PIKE"

In our film, we will answer these questions about Captain Pike:

1. What happened on Pike’s first mission with his female first officer, and his science officer, Mr. Spock?

2. Did Pike ever go into battle?

3. Which alien race did he encounter before any other Starfleet Captains? We know Captain Pike’s father is Admiral Josh Pike, but we never learned about the Admiral and which starship he commanded.

We never learned about many of the federation Captains that we saw in Star Trek TOS or their descendants.

In this film, we’ll answer all the questions you’ve always wondered about. And you’ll see many famous Starfleet officers at the beginning of their illustrious careers.

We would like to show you STAR TREK: CAPTAIN PIKE first, to prove ourselves to you. Then, if we have enough fan-support, we will continue with Captain Pike’s Saga with a continuing web-series.

Donate today and stay posted on all the latest Captain Pike news, convention appearances and updates!   There are many Perks to choose from!

STRETCH GOALS -  WHY STRETCH GOALS?

Here’s the answer - $50,000 is barebones as posted when we activated this page.

We would need to do another campaign later to pay for some of the visual effects unless we reach around $84,000 right now, which would pay for the 30 minutes with VFX.

Remember, when we reach our end goals there are many fees deducted from the final amount.

Here are the list of fees that are deducted as stated on their website -

indiegogo’s fees – You reach your goal – 4%. Third party fees 3-5% Credit Card PayPal processing. $25.00 wire fee additional currency exchange fees may also apply.

Also another 10% has been budgeted for Perks (the gifts you receive at different donor levels). And there is a basic 10% drop out rate (which we hope is much less!).

So we're left with 70% to spend on Star Trek: Captain Pike.

Stretch Goal  1 -  If you donate $10 or more you get a USS Exeter Military Patch!

Stretch Goal  2 -  All who donate $10 or more will receive an exclusive "CAPTAIN PIKE" digital movie poster.   Those who donated $75 or more will get a printed 11" x 17" version.

Stretch Goal  3 - All who donate $10 or more will receive the Starfleet Strategic Combat Division Patch.

CAPTAIN PIKE’S SETS

We will start shooting in September in L.A.  Then again in January we will continue the rest of our shoot.  We have talked with Alec Peters (Axanar) and are planning on shooting on his sets.

PREVIOUS FUNDRAISER 2 WEEKS AGO -

We had a Kickstarter campaign that shot up to $77,000! but did not fund. We asked for the full cost before. 

NOW we are asking for the first 30 minutes of our 90 minute film “STAR TREK: CAPTAIN PIKE”.  

This will cost $50,000 . We will run additional campaigns at a later date to pay for the remaining 60 minutes of the 90 minute film.

THE CAPTAIN PIKE TEAM

We will be using the highest quality camera, lighting and visual effects available. The finished product will look like something you’d see in a theatre or on television. Everyone involved in this project currently works in the entertainment industry.

VISUAL EFFECTS FOR CAPTAIN PIKE

Captain Pike has the one of the best visual effects artists in the world! Tobias Richter. Our video shows you how talented this man is. (VFX Clips from Star Trek: New Voyages in our teaser & The Light Works Video & photos above).

"Tobias has helped with the Star Trek The Next Generation BluRay as well and worked on many other Star Trek and Sci-fi projects". He will be creating all our ships and visual effects.

If we are fortunate enough to exceed our goal, additional funds will go towards expanding our celebrity cast members. There are several actors that read our script and wanted to be involved with our film, but we simply couldn’t afford to expand our cast costs any further.

The Indiegogo for Star Trek: Captain Pike will pay for the actors, make-up, visual effects, locations, studio rentals and actual filming costs. The resulting film will be about 30 minutes.

The Captain Pike team is excited to show you what we’re capable of, and to give you a great independent feature length Star Trek: Captain Pike film.

Indiegogo understands the independent filmmaker and how difficult it is for a film to get made without financing.   On this platform we have a chance to do something very creative with people like you who can join us in this enterprise and become part of the team.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES

Here are indiegogo’s fees – You reach your goal – 4%. You don’t reach your goal – 9% Third party fees 3-5% Credit Card PayPal processing. $25.00 wire fee additional currency exchange fees may also apply.

Also another 10% has been budgeted for Perks (the gifts you receive at different donor levels). And there is a basic 10% drop out rate (which we hope is much less!). So we're left with 70% to spend on Star Trek: Captain Pike.

WHAT ARE THE COSTS?

ACTORS - We need about $10,000 to pay the actors and their expenses. Food, etc. We have a huge all star cast and want to show you an incredible film.

RENTING THE L.A. SETS (7 DAYS) - 7,000

CAMERA, LIGHTING, INSURANCE – $6,000 for Camera, lighting, and Equipment rentals.

FOOD - $4,000

SUPPORTING ACTORS – $3,000 we’d like to pay them at least scale for their time if we can. We want this experience to be great for everyone involved.

WARDROBE & MAKE-UP EFFECTS – Starfleet Tunics, Alien costumes, $5,000 allows us to fund the Starfleet costumes for Captain Pike and pay for make-up effects and prosthetics. We have retained the services of the company that produces the TOS tunic replicas, so you know these tunics will be top quality.

VFX - $ 5,000 goes to start paying Tobias Richter and his team for the work they will be doing on Captain Pike. Tobias will be giving our film a specific look with his 3D ship models and designs. Why so much for effects? Because there are a lot of visual effects battles, ships & backgrounds in this 45 minute film.

Prop Production and Replication – $3,000 we want to give you something incredible! So we have to hire the best to design it then replicate it.

Composer/Post Production costs - $4,000

Sound Engineer & Designer (Post) - $3,000

$50,000 is barebones. We would need to do another campaign later to pay for some of the visual effects unless we reach around $84,000 right now. But seeing all the support the fans have for this project, I believe it is possible.

There are always unexpected costs, so we’d like to have a cushion for that. Plus, we’d get less than that amount after all the companies take their percentages and fees. That is where your money is going.

Whatever money we raise will go towards bringing you the Star Trek you all want to see. We love this and want to bring you everything you’ve never gotten a chance to see before!
