Cancelled / lost fan films

As for Origins: The Protracted Man, I again believe the unshot scenes could creatively be circumvented and the episode released, but this one seems completely unlikely as it heavily involved footage of Vic Mignonga and Alec Peters, who Cawley has personal feuds with. I mean, the entire Star Trek fandom have a just reason for a distaste for Peters, but the Phase II problems with Mignogna seem to be that he tried to take over production and when he couldn't he took a small splinter of the crew and built a more professional fan series that outshines Phase II in the public consciousness. I know these grudges have been hard to get over for some, but they're just actors in an episode. Be professional and get the thing in the can.
If Phase II really is throwing in the towel, please at least release what you have.

Alec Peters is barely in the film. I saw an unfinished copy of it last year. His part would probably be the easiest to recast. Personally, I would just leave it as is, but cutting that role wouldn't be difficult.
