====== Peters Hedges His Bets on Ares Warehouse ======

**//Go or no go? Peters won’t commit to staying in current warehouse or moving to new facility// **

 {{page>byline}} {{TOC}}

In an interview published April 17 on the Fan Film Factor blog, Axanar producer Alec Peters said he’d won more time to decide whether to keep his current 6,000 square-foot facility or move to a cheaper warehouse, half as large, that he can afford with his current Patreon donations.

===== More Time for Warehouse Plans =====

Peters said his landlord will let him stay until August before having to choose whether to move to the cheaper facility.

==== Patreon Progress ====

**Halfway there**. Earlier this week, the Ares Studios Patreon passed the $2,000 a month milestone, putting Peters just over halfway to the $4,000 a month he needs donors to give him so he can remain in the larger facility.

**Donations are volatile**. Peters admits relying on fluctuating donations may not be the most reliable way to afford the $48,000 his facility will need to raise each year.

**Say goodbye? **He says, "Will hundreds of donors still be giving us enough money each month to pay the rent? Or will we have to shut down and say good-bye to these beautiful sets? … Each month we see a small dip when people receive their monthly invoice from Patreon and decide they no longer want to contribute. So far, those have been minor hiccups."

===== Hedging Set Questions =====

Meanwhile, Peters refused to commit to whether the reconstructed captain’s quarters set originally built for the doomed //Axanar// feature would ever appear in the long-delayed //Axanar// short films. {{:axamonitor-ico.gif?nolink|}}
