    Exactly! The truth is it's easy to blame Vic for everything that goes wrong but this is pure spin on Alecs part; there is much more to the story. If I were the owner of NZ studios I would have serious reservations about getting involved with ANYTHING that LFIM was associated with based on his reputation and history with people whom he has worked with. I know I would never work on a project he was involved in.

    #2 is problematic if a production doesn't have insurance.

    This is a very important thing to point out. Lane is following in the fine Alec Peters tradition of boosting before his roosters come home to roast... I mean roost.

    Sorry about the metaphors... I was overtaking by my Bones impression.

    Lane has a few problems in his fundraising plans.

    1. As he himself has said, fan films these days are just not really raising $20k anymore.
    2. His association with Peters is going to turn off some donors
    3. He's fishing in the same well of donors that are already paying $2k/month for Ares Studios
    4. He's fishing in the same well of donors that know they are going to be asked to contribute to Axnar-lite soon.

    Part 2 : Oh no... Here we go again... 346512 Subtitles & counting... Collect them all...

    Peters just can't keep from causing drama for 5 mins can he ?

    Still 30 Days... Where's the movie Alac ?

    Yeah, I love how he just seems to be automatically assuming he's going to be getting the money he needs from his crowd funding.

    Even alec seems to be assuming he's going to get the $200k-$300k he thinks he'll need for axanar-lite.

    I'm not sure what delusional world they live int.

    The world were people just throw money at them and they can use Star Trek no matter what. I mean, I don't have any other explanation.

    Even if he did he wouldn’t dare use his own money. Other people should pay for his hobby.

    Apparently he does, or at least plans too if/when he manages to raise any money...

    We shall see. In the meantime, yeah, I don't know who thinks 6 figures will be fundraised for anything -- even assuming the Guidelines didn't exist and we were back to Crowdfund City, USA. Donors can and do get tired of pitches, particularly when the campaign runner has a history of not delivering, or of delivering s..l..o..w..l..y.

    Sounds like Lane is going to bore people in his pitch. Has a 13 minute pitch video planned for his 10 minute film.

    It will be interesting to see how much Lane is able to raise and how much his association with Alec is going help and/or hurt him.

    Wait, so are you saying his pitch video is going to be longer than the actual short?

    I'm confused. He says he wants Interlude to be completely separate from Axanar, but yet he keeps talking about how it's set in the Axanar Universe, he's got Alec in it as Garth, and he's using Alec's set for some filming. All of that makes it pretty damn far from being separate from Axanar.
