 | If the Axanar team wants to make other films, those will be done through a separate production company, as is standard business practice in Hollywood. | This is true. Many production companies develop films, [[http://www.raindance.org/development-finance-for-films/|preparing them for production]], and then creating a separate Limited Liability Company in which investors put in money solely for the production of a specific film. The development company often becomes one of the equity partners in that new company. It retains a financial, income-generating interest in each film. So while the two companies are legally separate, they are not completely unrelated. | [[http://www.raindance.org/development-finance-for-films/|Raindance: Development Finance for Films]] | | If the Axanar team wants to make other films, those will be done through a separate production company, as is standard business practice in Hollywood. | This is true.

-| The rented warehouse Axanar converted to a sound stage, which they called Ares Studios, is just like that used by Star Trek: New Voyages and Star Trek Continues. | Not according to the Axanar Annual Report, 2015, Revised, which notes that other fan productions' studios are single-purpose — with standing sets used only for making their own films. Axanar's sets are not standing; according to their annual report, they're expressly designed to be easily disassembled so Axanar can earn money from the studio: “At Axanar, <wrap hi>we are building a fully-functioning sound stage that we will also be able to rent out to support the production and the studio. That means no standing sets.”</wrap>(({{:axanar-annual-report-v2.pdf|Axanar Annual Report, 2015, Revised}}, p. 11, 12/15/15.)) | {{ ::ar-p015.jpg?direct&100|}} \\ <wrap lo>Click image to view full size (Axanar Annual Report, 2015, Revised, p. 11.)</wrap> |+| The rented warehouse Axanar converted to a sound stage, which they called Ares Studios, is just like that used by Star Trek: New Voyages and Star Trek Continues. | Not according to the Axanar Annual Report, 2015, Revised, which noted that other fan productions' studios are single-purpose — with standing sets used only for making their own films.
