This topic is VERY large, I will not read the whole, alas. Please tell me - "Axanar" banned completely and irrevocably? Did they dare to do this?... Is stupid Discovery better than "Axanar", which one teaser seemed great... This is staunchly reminiscent of the situation with Star Wars and StarWarsTheory's fan-film...
Contrary to repeated claims by a few people, the lawsuit and resulting restrictions against Axanar had nothing, zero, zip, nada, to do with the quality of the film itself, but rather all the shady financing behind the project.

To say that Axanar was "better than" XXXXX is also debatable. The visuals were stunning. That's a given. The acting was also above most fan-films, but everybody save one in front of the camera were paid, professional, experienced actors, so of course they performed well. The script and dialog was okay / passable by most standards. The story plot seemed to be a repeat of things we've all seen many times before, and nowhere near as well done. The more I dug into the story line, the stupider it was from a military point of view. Seriously, if you're going to do a war movie, please find someone who knows more about combat than "I watched the movie MIDWAY!"
 
We are coming up to some anniversaries:
  • December 29th 2015 - Lawsuit Filed
  • January 20th 2018 - Settlement Reached.
Since then we have had two weekends of filming and more money fundraised.

A handy timeline of the whole situation is linked here (clicky).
 
All these pre lewd, enter lewd and After lewd is nothing but a Black hole, money pit whatever one might call it.
A $ million and a half for a 22 minute talkie and now what's Lane's production costs. ????.
These are fan films, anyone that requires more than a couple thousand for a 15 minute film either don't know what they are doing or it's all about collecting the money.
 
Either? It can't be Both???
Both.. yes
In the past year, we've released some 10 15 min + or - fan films, moved and rebuilt our film studio, still have a few productions in the pipe and didn't go fund raising for a single dine.
Every time I see a "Lane" post, it's a studio shot to raise money.
So is he even making a film or what?
Springtime for Peters!
