Not sure if anyone has seen this yet.  I found this on Kickstarter.  I'm kind of interested in backing it and wanted to share in case anyone else in the Fleet might be interested. It is for a short "History Channel" -esque take on the Battle of Axanar, interviewing captains and generals later in their lives.  This is their first Kickstarter and if it goes well it looks like they will do another for a full length Indie / Fan film set during the Battle of Axanar.

I took a look at their video a few days ago and it does look interesting. They've managed to build an impressive cast for a fan film. (Richard Hatch, Michael Hogan, J.G. Hertzler, Gary Graham} I'll definitely be watching for it.

Thank you for bringing to our attention. Looks like a fun Kickstarter to support. History Channel does KDF-Federation war!

Will be backing once back in US on secure internet.

Cheers,

Looks very interesting, especially since they've been able to put together a reputable cast for this kickstarter.  Thanks for posting!

Another Kick Starter movie in the works for 2016, not Star Trek related but interesting Sci-fi:

Iron Sky has it all - Dinosaurs, hollow Earth, Nazi's, Zombies, and a Moon Base. 

Cheers

I got this the other day from the folks doing "Star Trek: Renegades:"

Dear supporters,

On June 23rd CBS and Paramount issued fan film guidelines – https://sable.godaddy.com/click?id=56189.47581.129.1.d3ba99911a6905d2b4a7884bc2803945 ( https://sable.godaddy.com/click?id=56189.47581.133.1.22c3ae13eca3dc31afa91f308eb51939 )

We, at Renegades, have nothing but the utmost respect for Star Trek and its IP holders, CBS and Paramount. Everything we have done has been because of Gene Roddenberry's vision and creativity. Star Trek is their property and we will absolutely abide by their rules and guidelines.

That being said, we do have an obligation to our donors and fans, and we have every intention of fulfilling it to the best of our ability. So, we will continue to make “The Requiem” as promised, but without any Star Trek elements.

As you know, we've already begun filming “The Requiem” so we cannot halt, suspend, or postpone production. Renegades, from the get go, was designed to be transformative... not derivative. Thus, with very minor changes to our script, we have eliminated all of the Star Trek references. The good news is that Renegades is now a completely original and ongoing series.

We would like to take this time to thank CBS and Paramount for letting us play in their proverbial sandbox for as long as they did. And we'd also like to thank our loyal, creative, and passionate fans for their unending support. We truly appreciate it.

-The Renegades Team

Meanwhile on the Axanar side of things:

"

Monday – Tuesday, May 9-10th, 2016

Monday we went to court for a scheduling conference.  It was impressive to be at the Federal Court House, which is a beautiful building.  And Judge Klausner was not at all like I expected (I kinda was thinking a Antonin Scalia type).  He seemed nice and enjoying his work.  Of course he had 10 hearings scheduled and he cancelled them all, laying to waste the ridiculous conspiracy theories around why the hearing was cancelled…he simply doesn’t like hearings and just reads the documents!

And as to scheduling, the Judge moved the trial up to January 31st, 3 1/2 months earlier than the parties had suggested.  of course this puts the trial square in the middle of the month the new Star Trek TV/web series launches! And that can not be good for CBS.  They have to hate that.  The Klingon amicus brief gained international attention for the Axanar case and none of it good for CBS and Paramount.  How much negative press will they get during the month leading up to the trial?

On Tuesday of course we heard that Judge Klausner had denied our Motion to Dismiss.  And while the haters loved telling everyone how that was a nail in the Axanar coffin, anyone who actually understands the law knows that a MtD is always an uphill climb.  Why?  Because the judge is required to assume ALL FACTS that the plaintiffs claim are in fact true.  It is a very steep hurdle for a defendant to overcome.  And even if you lose it, you are no worse off than you were when you first were served a complaint.  The defendant has nothing to lose and everything to gain.  And the Plaintiff has nothing to gain and everything to lose.  So when our Motion was denied I was disappointed, but we were no worse off.

Again, why you don’t listen to the bloggers with agendas and armchair lawyers who think they know what they are talking about….they don’t.

So it is off to the races.  Discovery is in motion.  And now the long grind to trial.

Thanks to everyone for your continued support!

Alec Peters

A death by a thousand cuts is not even good enough for the greedy bastards at CBS & Paramount.
