Great page John! Didn't you work on a fan made Star Trek episode called "Paragon's Paragon"? I remember reading about it and have always wanted to see it. Take Care!
I googled "Paragon's Paragon" after I left the above message, and this is what I found: Thirty minutes of silent footage! I guess I will have to wait another thirty years for the sound, lol. Great job!

Wallace, it's not my film! I think John Cosentino made that very fun film in the 1970's. They used to show it at the annual Balticon Convention near Baltimore, MD.
Your name is so closely associated with just about anything that was written about in Cinemagic, I assumed it was yours. Thanks for clearing that up, my apologies for the mix-up.
