Starship Valiant: Crosses to Bear (2016)

Stardate 1017.4, the Federation Starship USS Valiant rescues 135 colonists from a Federation outpost only to discover that they have all been stricken with an alien disease and to make matters worse, the medical staff on the Valiant have no antidote to the sickness. Working overtime, Chief Medical Officer Roger Floyd grows attached to the last two remaining children from the colony as he feverishly searches for a cure. Emotionally distraught, he wonders if he fails, will he have the strength to carry on? Taking place several years before the events of Legacy, Crosses to Bear tells the tale of a pivitol event in the life of Roger Floyd.

"Crosses to Bear," is the second short-story from the Starship Valiant Universe and features an exceptional cast of actors and actresses, all from Oklahoma with the exception of one. The film was written, produced and directed by Michael L. King, who also wrote and produced the first story. Crosses is a heartfelt attempt at presenting the pains of terminal sickness in children, while showing that those afflicted have dreams and aspirations of being more than what they are. Yes the illnesses take center stage but the persons afflicted do not have too.

Put together by a host of trek fans including Superfan Glen Wolfe, who supplied all the films medical props, Scott Johnson's lighting expertise, Dan Reynold's expert photography and editing, Craig Frey's subtle but excellent visual effects, Crosses to Bear is a labor of love for everyone involved. A "small" fan film with a big heartfelt story.
