WeeklyTrek #311: Interview Special: Star Trek Strange New Worlds Producing Director Chris Fisher on Season 4

On this week's episode of WeeklyTrek, TrekCore's news podcast, host Alex Perry is joined by Star Trek Strange New Worlds' producing director Chris Fisher for a supplemental interview special.

Chris has been intimately involved in the entire production of Strange New Worlds. He has directed six episodes of the series, including "A Quality of Mercy," "Hegemony, Part II" and this week's "Valles Marineres," and was on set throughout the whole production run of the show. As a result, Chris has unique insights into the production of Strange New Worlds, and the show's forward leaning virtual production approach.

Alex talks to Chris about his Star Trek history prior to Strange New Worlds, the way the show was made, Chris's experiences directing some of the series' highest-rated episodes, and we dive deep into this week's season four premiere, "Valles Marineres." We also talk about Chris's book, The Producers' Guide to Virtual Production, which case studies his experiences on Strange New Worlds.
