A Kids' Book for Understanding Axanar Finances, Indiegogo

Following the success of its Illustrated Guide to the Axanar Lawsuit, AxaMonitor now presents its analysis of Axanar’s recent Donor Memo and Financial Report, and its Indiegogo campaign, as a kids’ book, “Think of the Children.”

The intent of the book (available in PDF and eBook formats) is to make it entertaining and easy to understand Axanar’s finances, the situation with its beleaguered soundstage and its Indiegogo campaign to save that studio.

It also corrects such claims from Axanar Productions CEO Alec Peters that a successful crowdfunding campaign would create “the first fan-funded movie studio,” a title more aptly won by Legion M, established in 2016 as a studio owned by the fans whose donations are equity investments.

EXPLORING AXANAR An inquisitive Starfleet cadet goes on an adventure with his commander to learn about Axanar, its finances and its Indiegogo campaign to rescue the beleaguered Industry Studios.

Axanar donors will not own anything; their Indiegogo contributions will merely pay the rent and monthly operational costs for Industry Studios, Peters’ as-yet-incomplete soundstage, which is not even soundproofed.

The two characters in “Think of the Children” are a Starfleet cadet and his commanding officer, who take a shuttlecraft trip to Memory Alpha, visit a holodeck, and join an Away Team to learn about Axanar. The book, available under a Creative Commons license, is 36 pages long, and modeled after the Little Golden Books many of us grew up on.
