 +===== Revisionist History of Ares Studios ===== 
 + 
 +While trying hard to raise enough money to support some kind of studio space in Georgia, Peters has been trying to rewrite history, claiming he never used Star Trek intellectual property to build an independent studio: 
 + 
 +"[[face>groups/axanarfansgroup/permalink/1186061251570037/?comment_id=1186342131541949&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D&hc_location=ufi|Total bullshit]]," he says about the claim in the Axanar Fan Group on Facebook. 
 + 
 +==== A Different Tune ==== 
 + 
 +That's not what Star Trek fans heard from Peters during his [[axanar_kickstarter_details#the_infrastructure_kickstarter|2014 Kickstarter]], his January [[https://axanarproductions.com/ares-studios-launches/?fbclid=IwAR159vjquKJ4L-UgUy-R5c4CrdSFpRR9_v4ElSAN3WAnQXq-299tGWslxH8|2015 blog]] announcement, his [[annual_report#the_infrastructure_kickstarter|2015 Annual Report]] and his [[https://axanarproductions.com/mythbusters-debunking-three-misconceptions-about-axanar-productions/|2016 announcement]] the studio was being taken over by unnamed private investors. 
 + 
 +Hundreds of thousand of fans' dollars were raised by Peters under the banner of producing "the first fully-professional, [[https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/axanar#/|independent Star Trek film]]" that went directly into building the studio. 
 + 
 +==== The Bottom Line ==== 
 + 
 +Despite three-quarters of a million of fans' dollars poured into the now-abandoned studio,  not a frame of Axanar was ever filmed inside. [[industry_studios|Go deeper »]] {{:axamonitor-ico.gif?nolink|}}
