(written from a production point of view)

David Zappone is a film producer in Hollywood, California who helped produce several Star Trek-related documentaries with William Shatner, including William Shatner's Get A Life!, The Captains, Gonzo Ballet, and Chaos on the Bridge. He also produced For the Love of Spock with Adam Nimoy and the much-loved What We Left Behind with Ira Steven Behr.

Gonzo Ballet is a documentary created and directed by Shatner which follows the story of the Milwaukee Ballet's show based on Shatner's album with Ben Folds. [1]

Zappone, whose production studio is named 455 Films, is currently finishing up the new documentary To The Journey: Looking Back at Star Trek: Voyager, which focuses on Star Trek: Voyager. Like its What We Left Behind predecessor, it was entirely financed by crowdfunding, in the process breaking a crowdfunding record by raising $1,260,063 from 1 March to 1 April 2021. [2] Zappone began work on this film in early 2020 (before the COVID-19 pandemic struck) on the final Star Trek cruise of the year. Zappone said that he was able to get the majority of the interviews and filming completed aboard the ship, where he had access to the primary cast. [3]
