...and specifically on some quotes...
..."Our intended market for the Sci Fi Film School is people who want to become sci-fi film makers."
"Star Trek Film Academy is meant for Star Trek fans, Sci Fi Film School for film makers interested in telling their own stories and raising their game. Both can exist in the same universe, and in my opinion, they should (and hopefully will) support each other."
"Now we know that’s unlikely (we don’t expect CBS to do anything to help us), ..."
"...but we certainly hope fans who just want to get a feel for what it is like to make a Star Trek fan film on some amazing, TOS-era sets will go to the Film Academy."
"Other fans who have compelling stories of their own will come to the Sci Fi Film School."
..."I had been encouraging them to develop their relationship with fan film producers since 2012 and give fan films more exposure."
This academy deal is troubling.
First off Peters never came up with it, put a name to it perhaps but BfD.
I wouldn't be surprised if First Frontier had people who showed up on their door step, wanted to learn and become a part of it. It's a common thread in fan films all over the place, aspiring actors/actress fresh out of acting school that need a little time in front of the camera and IMDB credits, VFX work, sound, lighting, props, directing, writing, musical scores, you name it. For some it not even about Star Trek, it's about here is my work.There is no way Peters came up with that!
Just another thing he claims as his own like the selfish child in the school yard. pfftt

Until almost any fanfilm groups can actually make films where they don't keep crossing the line, can maintain directional continuity, and not stumble on the most basic cinematography rules, or even write a properly structured script, I remain dubious of the merits of any such "school".
Are you on about Alecs one or the one run by James?
I dunno I've seen some amazing fan films some of the latest ones by Vance Owen are good his latest short Minard is very powerful.
I agree fan films do lack in certain areas but lets not forget fan films are not meant to be Hollywood blockbusters lol and even then to me some fan films are better in some ways as they can deliver much more and not get bogged down by expensive CGI etc.
It def feels like a fan film...........
Alec has actually done what 30 minutes of film tops. What makes him qualified to run any kind of school?
He is qualified to run a school for the grifted or how to get sued by 2 major studios or even how to con people out of 1.5 mil
What made him qualified to coach USC men's volleyball?
No one's talking about blockbusters or expensive CGI. I'm talking about basic film 101 level production stuff. Hell, I glanced at a couple of scenes from STC's latest and they had mismatched eyelines in a really basic setup.
I think that's why James has said they're trying to get production personnel from the various Star Trek series, in order to teach proper technique.
So far from what is known people like the Okudas and Dog Drexler are in.
He knows how to artistcally pad a resume?
So Cawley will have the fan film school, and Peters will have the how to not make a fan film school.
Step 1...........warehouses are NOT studios.
Especially warehouses with no sound-proofing.
