Composer Michael Giacchino to Direct an Animated Star Trek Episode

Michael Giacchino is known as one of the best composers working in film and television today, but the prolific musician is beginning to flex some different creative muscles. After making his directing debut last year with a short film, Giacchino will head to the final frontier and direct a Star Trek episode for CBS All Access. Read more about the upcoming Michael Giacchino Star Trek episode below.

Not content with dominating the field of music and winning three Grammys, an Emmy, and an Oscar, Giacchino is stepping behind the camera once again as a director. SyFy points us to a recent Twitter thread from the official Star Trek account that took place at the Television Critics Association, where they announced the directors of the next two Star Trek: Short Treks episodes:

The idea here is STAR TREK "below decks". A look at the day to day adventures of the nameless faces on board.

What a great idea!

I for one would love to see this!

This might be really good! I was never able to enjoy the old animated series because the artwork and animation just didn't appeal to me.

With CGI animation, this will undoubtedly looks much better.
