WeeklyTrek #264: Interview Special: Roger Nygard on "Trekkies" the Star Trek Documentary
On this week’s episode of WeeklyTrek, TrekCore’s news podcast, host Alex Perry is joined by Roger Nygard for a supplemental interview special. This week, we discuss Roger’s work directing the Star Trek fan documentaries Trekkies and Trekkies 2, in connection with Roger’s new book, The Documentarian: The Way to a Successful and Creative Professional Life in the Documentary Business. We talk about the genesis of Trekkies, how it was filmed, what happened to the stars of the documentary in the intervening decades, and how the film comments on the Star Trek fandom. *** Do you have a wish or theory you’d like to share on the show?
