Star Crackers is a the collaboration of Adam M. Browne and Jon Yeager, two friends since junior high who have been making parodies and films since then.
Adam Mayer Browne is the author of the book series Distant Destinies, also due to make a comeback, of which Yeager was creative advisor for the 7 book rewrites. The first book of that aired in 2008.
The Kal Kat show, 2009-2015 was their online show under their stage names, Kal Kat and Marx Cards. The current stories are Kal Kat reviews and Marx Cards occasionally appears, and Kal Kat blogs, which also occasionally stars him, and sometimes Jim Buffkin, Jimticon.
Star Crackers began about the same time Distant Cousins took off, which later became Distant Destinies because of a similar name out there.
The original 1992 fan film appeared to a limited local release in a Bay Area town and never made any money.
In 2010 it was released on DVD after some editing from a 2005 reshoot of many scenes.
Then in 2012 they completed the film and released it officially after getting retakes and engough money and talent to finish it.
The stories however had been going on over those years, from 1992 to 2005, so there were several seasons, and most of them were saved.
They took those story scripts and spent several years rewriting them as novels, ending up with four novels.
The first novel will be titled The Sphere of Influence and will be out in 2017.
