RadCon lineup gives Trekkies reason to beam up this year
February 12, 2010
Dori O'Neal, Tri-City Herald staff writer
Carlos Pedraza says he stumbled into his status as a science fiction celebrity about a decade ago when he discovered a fan-produced series on the internet called Star Trek: Hidden Frontier.
"As a lifelong Star Trek fan, I submitted a story idea to the producers that was accepted for production," Pedraza said in an e-mail this week. "That led to a couple more screenplays and then to becoming the staff writer for three seasons and one of the producers."
That also led to a stint as one of the writers and producers of the more lavishly produced internet series Star Trek: Phase II, he said.
Pedraza now has his own production company, Blue Seraph Productions based in Los Angeles, although he lives in Seattle. He also finds time to write and produce segments for Runic Films in L.A, which has several new web series in development.
Pedraza is one of the featured guests at this year's RadCon Convention, set to open at noon Feb. 12 and continuing through Feb. 14 at the Red Lion Hotel in Pasco. Admission is $35 for all three days.... Read the full article

Project: Star Trek: Phase II

Gerrold directed the episode with other Runic members David Berry, cinematographer, Joël Bellucci, visual effects supervisor, and Ben Alpi, second unit director.
