Alex Kurtzman<\/strong>, speaking with Gold Derby<\/em> about his Emmy<\/em> nomination for Star Trek: Short Treks<\/em>, hopes that the Emmy<\/em> nomination will lead to more Short Treks<\/em> being made.<\/p>\n

“They’re like little O. Henry<\/strong> stories,” said Kurtzman, describing Short Treks<\/em>. “There’s the story that presents itself, but then there’s kind of a twist at the end that reframes what you’ve been watching the whole time.”<\/p>\n

Star Trek: Short Treks<\/em> was an “amazing experiment” which let the creators find “different tones and different styles and start pushing at the boundaries of what Star Trek<\/em> feels like it can be.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When asked if there would be more Short Treks<\/em> made, Kurtzman said, “Thanks to the Emmy<\/em> nomination, I’m really hoping so.” Kurtzman would like to make a short musical, and a black-and-white film, among other ideas.<\/p>\n

“I could probably think of fifty different ways that we could tell stories,” said Kurtzman; “in fifty different little crevices of the Star Trek<\/em> universe to explore, that may not be the right kind of crevices for the larger shows, but we always think of the Short Treks<\/em> as scenes just as important as what’s going on in the main shows \u2014 but that you wouldn’t have time [to include them].”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So what about the rest of his Star Trek<\/em> world? “We have been running all of our writers’ rooms on Zoom<\/em>,” he said. “The silver lining is that we have actually been able to get quite ahead in scripts for upcoming seasons of Discovery<\/em>, and Picard<\/em>, and Strange New Worlds<\/em>, which is going to be shooting next year, and Section 31<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Kurtzman is a man who loves his job. “It’s exhilarating, it’s terrifying, it’s wonderful, it’s joyful,” he said. “This is the job you dream of having as a kid.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
