IT’S IRONIC that Axanar, a fan film concept drawn from the Original Series, is being rapidly eclipsed by the one set in the much-maligned Enterprise era. Meanwhile, most of the creative and logistical talent behind the success of Prelude has departed, making the leap from 20-minute mockumentary to feature-length narrative an even greater challenge than before. The cost for that sucked up the biggest chunk - 38 percent - of Axanar’s $638K Kickstarter money. Tommy Kraft pulled this off with a budget of less than $30,000 - a feature film, widely praised and wildly popular, that delivered what it promised.Īxanar, by comparison, with its fundraising success, decided to prioritize building an expensive revenue-generating studio ahead of actually producing a film. The more rapid growth of Horizon is not the only important difference between it and Axanar. Just boast, and then … “We do not discuss it with outsiders…”? Burnett: C’mon now…you’re the expert…again…I ask.what do YOU think? 2) In the discussion that followed, I asked, “Seriously though, I’m interested in the metrics you used in claiming Prelude to Axanar is the most successful fan film.” Burnett: I leave that up to you. “Nobody cares how many views Prelude to Axanar has on YouTube … except you,” Burnett tweeted. Axanar Director Won’t Define Prelude‘s Success UPDATE In a Twitter exchange August 18, Axanar director Robert Meyer Burnett, who had boasted in July that Prelude was the most successful Star Trek fan film "by any metric," refused to lay claim to any particular metric when confronted with Horizon‘s rapid growth in viewers.
