Fan Films Live! That is the word from Fan Film factor and Jonathan Lane has the facts to back it up! There have been over SIXTY fan films released since CBS released its Fan Film Guidelines. Read it all on the second part of his article on Fan Film Factor.
And while Star Trek New Voyages has turned its fan funded studio into a licensed CBS attraction (a plan in place before the guidelines ever came out), Star Trek Continues has decided to ignore the Fan Film Guidelines and keep producing full episodes.
So to paraphrase Mark Twain, the word of the death of fan films has been greatly exaggerated. Read Jonathan’s article here.
This Ruling dosn’t just kill Trek fan films It KILL ALL FAN FILMS since it sets a precedent that Destroys creativity and condems us all to watch Drivel like the “New ST Discovery” (I for one will not and will be be engaging in anything by CBS/PARAMOUNT Be it Trek or not, Sad as I have been watching Trek since 1968 and paid to see Axanar made as a Fan Movie, not two disimilar shorts of 15mins, the Ruling is total Bullshit, How much was the Judge pais off by CBS!
