Son's screen tribute to dad in 50th year of series

Adam Nimoy has found a way to spend countless hours with his late father Leonard Nimoy: He's creating a documentary for the actor who played Spock in the Star Trek franchise.

Nimoy says the "Spockumentary" funded through a Kickstarter campaign that raised over $600,000 will focus on the pop icon and his legacy. The TV director and film professor says it would explore his father's life onscreen and off-screen.

For the Love of Spock began as a project for the father and son duo before Leonard's Nimoy's death in February at age 83. Nimoy says his father wanted to keep it Spock-centric, but once he passed he knew he had to include more about his father.
