    Anyone care to summarize for those who don't want to have to listen to the whole thing?

    How about for those of us who just don't care to hear their voices at all?

    Still no summary. Does that mean nobody watched / listened to it??

    I skipped around and did not watch it all...........just can't. I mainly watched to see if he answered if Kate Vernon was returning.......he seemed tired or irritated. Jonathan would talk for 5 minutes and asked questions about the filming and he would answer with a short quick reply. Main take aways: Kate Vernon has not committed she is "reviewing the script" but she's been doing that for months. He has to have a shitload of tunics made, not for the film so much but because it was a perk for anyone at the $400 dollar level or above. So I guess they will have some background people changing their tunic every shot so they can call them "screen used". He can't give details on budget or people working on it or "The Haterz" will sabotage everything. He doesn't know how much it will cost.......was just a whole lot of nothing.

    Sort of makes Interlude look much better, since it went from inception to successful fundraising in a few months and has a budget with breakdowns, etc.

    Trouble in paradise... :lol: Lane better be careful. If he's TOO successful, AP may label him a subversive and start attacking the only "friend" (term is used VERY loosely) he has left.

    I wouldn't worry. IF Mr. Lane somehow DOES manage to finish something (a feat of which I'm dubious he'll be able to accomplish) -- You can be certain Alec Peters will swoop in claiming he actually did all the 'heavy lifting' and good little Alec Peters sycophant will nod in agreement. :rofl:

    And lfim never learns.

    He’s now hired a pr firm and has stuff being put in the media about his “independent Star. Trek film”.

    Creating brand confusion? Check.

    If you didn’t know better you’d think he’s an idiot.

    Isn't that the same terminology that CBS took exception to and thus sued Alec Peters??

    Found someone that watched all 42 minutes and wrote about it...............

    https://monitoringthetrekmonitors.wordpress.com/2019/09/13/the-interview/

    September 13 2019

    Today I listened to the Alec Peters interview conducted by Jonathan Lane on Fan Film Factor to see what’s up in the Axanar world.

    Below is some of the points made during the 42 minutes the interview went for and yes it was listened to a couple of time to make sure I understood it right.

    – Carlos, Shawn and Sandy get mentions
    – Bridge status given
    – Film crew will not be announced
    – Cast will not be announced
    – Budget will not be given
    – Terms like Bullies were used
    – Axanar is a hobby
    – Uniforms made are in triple figures
    – Kate Vernon has been given the script
    – Shooting locations are mostly secret
    – Interlude will pay $250 per day for Ares Studios
    – CBS got a mention or two
    – Sushi joke
    – Food may be catered or made at Alec’s, they don’t know
    – Alec spent roughly $200,000 of his money in California
    – Ares rent is back up to $3600
    – Alec is still paying off debt from Axanar, should end shortly
    – Alec pays around $24,000 a year
    – Credit was given to RMB and Christian Gossett
    – Alec’s achievements with Prelude were mentioned

    It was not unexpected that Carlos, Shawn and Sandy would get a mention, almost every Axanar Confidential episode mentions at least one of the three or mentions terms like ‘Haters’.

    Alec Peters said that Carlos Pedraza knows nothing about making a real film but a quick check of IMDb reveals that Carlos last two listed credits were as producer of two feature length movies.

    I believe that Carlos film qualifications has been questioned in the past with the exact same result.

    News of cast and crew are being withheld because of fears that people (presumably AxaMonitor members) will target them.

    People were called ‘Unethical group of bullies and pathological liars’ and the thing is such behavior as targeting cast and crew is actually not encouraged or accepted and therefore I think it is a tactic to whip up a frenzy against those who question what is going on with Axanar.

    The Bridge is around 98% complete, it seems to be hovering around this number for some time, they need to get two new .

    Ares Studio now needs $3600 a month after the people next door to Ares moved and that means they don’t need Ares parking spaces and so Ares must pay full price again.

    Alec said that Axanar is a hobby which people do know is true because it has not been full time since the time CBS rightfully pulled the carpet from every film makers feet to get them in line.

    Some may wonder if Axanar is a hobby then what is Ares Studios? A hobby that will eventually end or a business that will eventually grow because everyone knows unless you’re rich or have donors paying for your every fan film whim, a fan film hobby runs out of money sooner or later.

    Bo Jackson is probably the last guy who made something out of his hobby and that was playing in the NFL.

    A lot of uniforms are being made, the total is in the triple figures and Alec told listeners all about how they’ve come up with sizes.

    Christian Gossett and Robert Meyer Burnett were mentioned towards the end and it was noted that Alec gives credit where credit is due.

    The last part was a spirited defense of Alec’s participation in Prelude to Axanar as it is felt in some circles that his participation was minimal aside from being the face of the production.

    There is more to Axanar than the pieces on Fan Film Factor or the posts of anger on Facebook, it’s in the Axanar Confidential videos and the verbal interviews, they tell the story, the story that make or break Axanar.

    Until next time, be good to each other.

    So let’s summaruze the summary.

    We’re not going to tell you anything but trust us and send us money and don’t listen to Carlos.

    Why oh why do they need so many uniforms?

    Oh, that's right - to support Alec's prop business.

    So the cast can wear a different one each day, and he can sell "screen - worn" unis to his suckers... I mean fans.

    Thank you for subjecting yourself to that on behalf of those who won't.
