‘Trekkies’ Tumult

Obviously, the intention of the Business Journal in “A Tough Sell For Producers of ‘Trekkies’ (Sept. 1) was always to do a story on the trials and tribulations of the documentary genre. For such an article, however, “Trekkies” was totally inappropriate.

“Trekkies” transcends the documentary genre and the commercial expectations of that genre. As a movie about a pop culture phenomenon, with millions of loyal fans, it has a built-in audience. “Truth or Dare” is really the only other documentary that it might accurately be compared with. Confident of the commercial viability of “Trekkies,” we have turned down offers from both major and independent distributors that most other documentary film makers would have jumped at. Fortunately, we are in the unique position of having some very profitable alternatives to a studio distribution deal.
