[indent]I’m going back up to Toronto to direct on Strange New Worlds. I’m about to go back into the studio to revoice some stuff on a video game called Star Trek: Resurgence, and I got a couple of other non-Star Trek projects that are now able to hook up and get started up again. It has been a very interesting, fallow time, for which I’ve been very grateful that I have the convention circuit to participate in.
