Studio? What studio? I recall that he leased a warehouse for a while, but I didn't know he had a real studio.

I didn't say it was a real studio. But yes, I meant the warehouse he tried to convert, but the warehouse wasn't set up to handle it. last I heard, I think there's a motorcycle company in that space now.
 
Was the move to Atlanta purely for the "studio" and Axanar, or was it just something that Alec wanted to do for himself? I'm a little confused by them filming some in Atlanta and some in LA. Wouldn't it have been easier to just stay in LA and film the whole thing there rather than going back and forth?
Even if the move was a personal thing, couldn't he have just held off until after Axanar?
 
As I understand it, the money from all the original fundraising had run out. Rob Burnett had made arrangements for financing so they could stay in the California warehouse, but Alec got in the middle of it, and it all fell apart. That's when Alec decided to move to Atlanta since they are filming a lot of movies there.
 
Not to mention the fact that he hadn't failed a business there yet.

Can't say that any more. :techman:
I once called California "The slippery Slope of Success" It can truly be a trap for hobby business when they force you to go legit.
The great LFIM wants to be a big time Exe and hide under the protections of a Fan Film. I'm sorry but you can't have it both ways.
 
Someone set up this GoFundMe but at Alec's request changed the goal from Axanar to Ares Studio:

My favourite line from second blog post:
I thought a lot about Jeff and his campaign overnight. On the one hand, yeah, it was totally sticking it to CBS and potentially meant more money for Axanar.

This is the line that makes me pop a vein:

While I can’t dictate what he does or doesn’t do or say, he is using the Axanar name, and as such, anything he says could reflect on us.

Dude, IT'S NOT YOUR NAME!!! It is part of somebody else's copyrighted material!!! You're turning something you don't own into a brand!!! Just stop, you thieving asshole!!

more then that. If you don’t like people using your name maybe you shouldn’t do that to others.
 
Since Ares Studio is owned by Alec, and he's filming some of Axanar there, wouldn't that technically mean that money from Ares Studios is going towards the production of Axanar?
I'm really starting to wish they would do something involving Axanar in one of the CBS All Access series, just so we can see Alec completely lose his mind.
