I donated to Prelude and I donated to this. At it's current rate they will hit their $250k goal by the end of day 3. Their total projected budget for all parts was just over a million, I think they'll hit it with no problem.

I've backed both as well. As far as "fan films" go, this entire campaign has been top notch. I'm hoping between the support for this and Michael Dorns campaign for the Worf Chronicles, it will convince CBS to greenlight a new show.

I'm in at the script level. Seems to be losing steam though after the first 24 hours.

I'm still confused how are they doing this without CBS permission or whoever? I liked the prelude one enough though, I'll probably do Blu Ray.

So they have permission just not licensing? I'm just confused how they worded it on the funding page.

The 250k goal was for the special two day prelaunch on indiegogo, before opening it up to the public. The overall goal is around 900k total to cover all the production costs.

In the old days trailers were spoilers meant to hint at the movie instead of displaying all meaningful plot devices and the only action scenes in the movie...

They are doing fundraising for each part. There will be two more yet after this one, which is about 20k shy of goal after 7 days, They will still hit goal, but it defiantly lost steam.

Hopefully that will backfire on them. One of the things Trekkies appreciate so much about Star Trek is that the high quality fan made stuff is allowed to exist.

It's because Disney realized they could fucking slaughter with Star Wars, so CBS is like damn what are we missing out on and wants to get back in the picture. They don't want to compete with the fan made stuff if they are going to put out stuff on their own.

Edit: You know it's purely related to Star Wars success when they weren't willing to risk it on their own since they can't even tell you what the new series is going to be about. It's also a joke that apparently only the first episode is planned to air on TV? That's how the article reads to me.

Considering Paramount and CBS both have set the tone for the past 10+ years that this sort of thing has been okay. Hell, look at Renegades, they even use people who were in Treks themselves. I'm not sure how it'll pan out but I sure hope it's in favor of Axanar.
