To get in the right frame of mind for that scene he just imagined that Nimoy had been given more lines than him.
Also helps tp explain the REST of the scene where Spock lets Garth kick the crap out of Kirk instead of just stunning them both and see who turns back into Garth. (IE - Nimoy suggested a long fight with a lot of close ups so not too much cancel for a stunt double...:devil: ;))
 
Ummm,

Did no one else get an email about this yesterday? First email message from Axanar in ages! Not really sure how I ended up on the mailing list:
The 2022 Axanar Calendar SIGNED by cast & crew

In about 2 1/2 weeks, Axanar is back in production! And you can support it by buying 2022 Axanar calendar signed by the cast and crew for only $29.95!

The 2022 Calendar features scenes and quotes from Prelude to Axanar, and a spectacular cover image by Brendon Goodyear. This 8.5" x 11" wall calendar is full color and features 13 amazing images from Axanar.

This is the limited edition of 250 signed and numbered calendars! Each calendar is signed by:

We have more cool stuff for you as we go along!

Posted on the Axanar Fan Group (Facebook) in response to a question about when the shooting starts:
Next shoot is in a few weeks. Slowly starting up again. Lots of SAG Covid restrictions to comply with still.
Looks like a ready made excuse. The same thread also says no one else is renting their space.

They have Guild members?
 
They got certain waivers as part of the settlement for their single two part film.
SAG/AFTRA used to (still does for all I know) have a "new media" classification that allowed actors work for streaming audio and video projects at far below scale or even for free. After filling out the paper work for a project that involved multiple professional actors, I can honestly say I wouldn't want to do it again. It's not easy to do properly and very easy to screw up.

The point was that the Guidelines forbid things some things but in the settlement Axanar was allowed some leeway around some of those.
 
I think the guidelines are irrelevant regarding Axanar and Peters these days. He isn't taking money off people in the quantities he used to, he hasn't got the team around him to produce anything worthwhile and no Trek alumni is still attached to it (except possibly Hertzler, but he's not been around it for years).

Peters could make the ninety minute Axanar movie he promised but TPTB really wouldn't care for two reasons

1 It would be awful
2 See Point 1

Any chance they intentionally make the process hard just to discourage people from trying to do it?

Could be. I think it's more like hazing: my guess is that system allows them to weed out those who are sincere and willing to do the dirty work to put a production together from wannabes who are all talk and no action. Of course, as I mentioned, that was some years ago and things might be easier (or harder) now.
