Wow, I didn't see that coming considering what AP & Co have said/done. I don't mind CBS/P being magnanimous, it's their IP and lawsuits after all but cutting a deal with AP and Axanar? Cringe.

and his donors have to watch it.
Well they've basically promised it will be the best Star Trek story ever so I don't see how they can ever live up to that.
Embrace it. Let's imagine CBS say "F**k it, make what you want, you're boring us". The 'huge Axanar fanbase' will now expect their 'best Star Trek movie ever since forever. Ever' and just how the hell is he supposed to deliver that with next to no cash and a DVD extras director?
Given the way Disney has neutered fan films and given the future risk of tentpole invaders to all IP of entertainment firms, and given how ultimately ruthless corporate control tends to be, it would not surprise me one bit if the terms are onerous. And if they are going to slam something like that down, sugar-coating it is conceivable.

But the fanbase probably doesn't expect that anymore. They probably expect a defiant showing of the flag of their project in any Trek garb at all and a chance to feel vindicated. The more pewpew the more emotional catharsis for Axanar marines everywhere.
$1,000 ADMIRAL LEVEL: We'll turn off the sound.
$2,000 REAR ADMIRAL LEVEL: ADMIRAL LEVEL + we'll turn off the subtitles.
$10,000 REAR-END ADMIRAL LEVEL: Skip the wedding scene on Betazed!
how much for face pixelation?
Probably a lot. He'll need his IT guys to create a separate company for fulfillment. Don't worry, though; he checked and they offer the best prices on face pixellation.
why wait? launch simultaneous fundraisers on all platforms for StarWars 8 (the better version).
Very curious about these fan film guidelines. Alec Peters is $38,000+ richer entirely because of CBS and Paramount's Star Trek name and imagery. If it's okay for him to leech off of their brand, it'll be okay for others too.
I wonder if the rules and regulations will be akin to what the Star Wars fanfilmakers have to adhere to?
I hope the Axanar faithful enjoy their five minute movie. Gary Graham will have to get his lines out a damn site quicker then he did in That Vulcan Scene, that's for sure. And presuming they use the same VFX the ships are going to be zipping about pretty sharpish too.
