Considering all the effort put into the thousands of posts in this thread and its predecessor thread, isn't this a bit of the pot calling the kettle black?
You may be right, but Alec's professionalism has earned all our attention. We're eager to learn every day something new about him. And I believe, he loves attention. So win/win.
 
RMB's enthusiasm shines through in his Axanar videos. It's cool that he's delivering something for the poor souls who donated.

Meanwhile, Alex Peters is asking his fanbase for more money. Why? To pay rent on the bridge set which he claims won't even feature in the Axanar shorts.
 
Blog post with production update on Axanar website:
https://axanarproductions.com/the-road-to-production/

Currently they are earning $600 a month from YouTube monetisation.
That whole update was essentially Alec saying "Look at all the new ways we've found to take your money! So we're gonna take more of it, and then we'll make a film! Honest Injun!"

You know the old saying about people spinning in their graves? I bet P.T. Barnum's having wet dreams in his over all this.
 
Hey guys, you wanna see the event planning version of Axanar? If you've got Netflix, you should check out the documentary "Fyre." It's got everything: the glitzy promo video, the broken promises, the loads of mismanaged money, and a glib, smooth-talking wannabe mogul at center of it all pulling the strings. I think Alec and Billy McFarland went to the same lawyer-by-training school.
 
Isn't it a big no no to monetise your fan film on YouTube?

If I had've done that, I could've raked in some $$... oh wait, that's not what I made it for...
 
I think most of us are now simply waiting for the inevitable implosion to finally happen that he has somehow been able to miraculously mitigate for far too long.
That's the only reason I'm still following all this. I mean come on, it's got to happen eventually. Right?

That's something I don't understand. The bridge set appears Trek-like and it's in Georgia, but the Axanar shorts will be shot in California??? So he already has the funds to produce Axanar and is waiting for the crew and talent to be available to shoot it, but this studio thing is for students and amateur filmmakers to shoot, but he needs funds to keep the studio sets afloat?

He most emphatically does not have the money to produce Axanar yet. Peters cannot even begin to raise money until the third iteration of the never-worked-properly Ares Digital platform is completed to handle the donation transactions from his upcoming private effort to raise $200K to make the two Axanar shorts. In the meantime, he has to keep his "studio" (don't kid yourself, the warehouse has zero of what constitutes a true production facility) afloat. Hence the Patreon.
