Deep Space Nine goes where no Star Trek series had gone before - DS9 was the first Star Trek production not based on a starship, but instead, a starbase, known as Deep Space 9 (the starship USS Defiant was introduced in season 3, but the station remained the primary setting of the series). The show is known for its complex characters and storylines, engaging battle scenes, and darker (less Utopian) atmosphere. Unlike its predecessors Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine tended to avoid an episodic format for most of its run and instead featured multiple-episode story arcs.

Jesús Salvador Treviño was born on March 26, 1946, in El Paso, Texas, United States. He is the son of Jesus Victor and Evangelina (Mercado) Treviño. Treviño and his family moved to East Los Angeles when he was very young.
After Treviño graduated from high school, he was awarded a scholarship to attend Occidental College. There he earned a bachelor's degree in philosophy in 1968. It wasn't until the summer after his undergraduate years, though, that Treviño was exposed to and learned the skills to become a filmmaker during a government program that he attended called New Communicators.
Treviño was offered a job at KCET, a public television station in California. There he worked as a journalist and producer of features for the nightly Mexican American talk show "Ahora!" During this time he started exploring the world of communications and developed the skills he would use later on in his career. Although the show was canceled the year after he started, Treviño was asked to continue on at the station as a producer - this time with more independence and autonomy - an opportunity that allowed Treviño to explore his Latino roots more thoroughly in his work.
In the 1970s Treviño made three documentaries: "Soledad," about prisoners at the Soledad jail, "America Tropical," about artist David Siqueiros, and "Yo Soy Chicano," a history of the Chicano people. In 1971 Treviño won a gold medal for "Soledad" at the Atlanta Film Festival.
In 1975 Treviño tried his hand at fictional films with "Raices de Sangre" (Roots of Blood), a dramatization of the Latino experience in America. He was confirmed in having done his job well, because in 1991 Raices de Sangre was named one of the top 25 Latin American Films of all time at the 36th Annual International Film Festival of Valladolid, Spain.
In recent years Treviño has directed a host of episodes for such popular television shows as "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," "NYPD Blue," "Chicago Hope," "ER," "Star Trek: Voyager," "The Pretender," "Dawson's Creek," "Martial Law," and "Resurrection Blvd.," among others. He has brought the Chicano to feel to television and has been nominated for several awards for his directorial work.
Treviño has also made several television specials, including "Chicano! The Mexican American Civil Rights Movement," a series that portrayed the little-seen or known fight that Mexicans had in America for their own rights.
Treviño has also won coveted Director's Guild of America Awards twice for his television work, once for a daytime drama series, for Gangs, a CBS Schoolbreak Special, and once for a daytime drama, for "P.O.W.E.R.," "The Eddie Matos Story."
In 1995 Treviño tried his hand at something away from the film, writing "The Fabulous Sinkhole and Other Stories." The book is a collection of short stories set in Arroyo Grande, Texas.
His memoir "Eyewitness: A Filmmaker's Memoir of the Chicano Movement" was published in 2001.
Treviño is the founder and publisher of the website latinopia.com. Latinopia.com is a place to discover and discuss Latino Arts, Latino History, Latino Music, Latino Literature, Latino Cooking, and Latino Cinema.
