SPECIAL TREKWEB ANNOUNCEMENT
TREKWEB.COM TO HOST EXCLUSIVE ONLINE CHAT WITH STAR TREK HISTORIANS MICHAEL AND DENISE OKUDA
TrekWeb.com is proud to announce that on Thursday, May 7th it will host an exclusive online chat with STAR TREK historians Michael and Denise Okuda!
For the past two decades the Okudas have been part of the STAR TREK family, beginning in 1986 with Mike Okuda's computer graphics contributions in "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home". This led to his involvement on THE NEXT GENERATION, DEEP SPACE NINE, VOYAGER, ENTERPRISE, and many of the STAR TREK feature films as a technical consultant and visual graphics artist, as well as many design contributions to the NASA space programs.
In 1991 Mike Okuda worked with Rick Sternbach in developing the STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION Technical Manual for Pocket Books. This led to further contributions to Pocket Books with his wife Denise in developing two editions of the STAR TREK Chronology: The History of the Future and three editions of the STAR TREK Encyclopedia. Today the Okudas are perhaps the most well-known historians in the STAR TREK universe, developing insightful commentaries to the DVD releases of the feature films and the Original Series.
Now, to celebrate the arrival of the original STAR TREK series and first six feature films on Blu-ray, and to commemorate the long-awaited theatrical release of the newest feature film, TrekWeb.com is proud to host an exclusive online chat session with the Okudas, hosted by media editor/reviewer Bill Williams, and you, the TrekWeb.com fans, have a chance to participate! You will have the opportunity to ask your questions to the Okudas about their involvement on STAR TREK, NASA, and other upcoming projects. The chat session is scheduled for Thursday, May 7th at 7:00 p.m. PDT / 9:00 p.m. CDT. Just send your question(s) in to TrekWeb.com to Mr Williams at bwilliams924@yahoo.com, and join in on the fun as we welcome Mike and Denise Okuda to TrekWeb.com!
