Redshirt Blues

Redshirt Blues is a 2001 fan film that was made by fans of original Star Trek. It was written, directed and produced by David O. Rogers. It satirizes the use of redshirts on the television series as well as the show itself, its fans, and popular culture.

Redshirt Blues was first shown in the 2000 Boston Film Festival, which The Boston Phoenix reporter Mike Miliard reviewed as a great Star Trek parody. It was also screened at the 2000 Pacific Palisades Film Festival, 2001 Nodance Film Festival, and shown on a special Star Trek episode of Sci Fi Channels short film television series Exposure on September 16, 2001. Entertainment Weekly reviews it as an amusing riff on the hapless Starfleet crewmen whose uniforms invariably mark them for untimely deaths. Overall, Wook Kim rated the Exposure episode as B.
