A "ROCKIN"  RELEASE

Starship Farragut's 2nd Crew Log will be Released on Friday - 12/12/08

Farragut Films in Association with NEO f/x is proud to announce the first release in the "Starship Farragut: Crew Logs" series of short films. The Crew Log entitled "A Rock and a Hard Place" will be released on Friday, December 12th at 9:00 AM (Eastern time).

"A Rock and a Hard Place" entails action and adventure.  “For some time, I wanted to see Jack Carter in action, as well as show his romantic side.  A light-hearted story, this short provides both – as well as some incredible CGI effects, fight scenes and good direction,” said John Broughton, Executive Producer of the Starship Farragut project.

A seventeen-minute vignette, this short was directed by Award-Winning Director Mark Hildebrand with stunt choreography being led by Hollywood alumnus, Leslie Hoffman.  It showcases Captain Carter and a new character to the series, Dr. Angela Bishop (played by D.D. Hatcher). It's a romantic comedy, full of action and adventure. The premise:  Captain Carter, despite objections from Chief Engineer Smithfield, decides to go on a planetary survey mission with an old flame; but they soon realize that they are not the only ones interested in the rocks.

On a subtle level, you can relate to this story from the perspective of a teenager going out on a date, borrowing the family car, getting a lecture from his parent, and then getting into some trouble after not heeding his parent’s advice!

Both crew logs ("Just Passing Through" and "A Rock and a Hard Place") were premiered together on November 22nd at the University of Maryland's Hoff Theater - keeping with Farragut Films' goal of producing two films a year.  Setting another independent Star Trek film first, Starship Farragut debuts it's shuttlecraft Hartford, an interior set that is a highly detailed and accurate replica of the original Galileo shuttlecraft.

Fred Dixon, Reporter from Orion Press said, "I give "A Rock and a Hard Place" A’s across the board. It is a professionally produced piece."

See it and judge for yourself on Friday!
