+ | [{{ : | ||
+ | **IN MID-DECEMBER** 2016, I was asked by Alec Peters if I was willing to serve as a member of an independent financial review committee that would examine and evaluate the expenditures of Axanar Productions over a three year period. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Because of scheduling conflicts and planned trips for the holidays, I did not accept the offer until after the new year. Soon thereafter I received a collection of financial documents and began my review. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. I did not judge myself qualified to complete the requested task. Although there are many items in the documents that fall into my professional sphere of knowledge as a filmmaker for well over 20 years, I found that there were many other areas and line items that I simply did not know enough about to assess the documents competently. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. I was the director of photography for both Prelude to Axanar and the Vulcan scene. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3. Members of the committee have already been contacted by multiple outside sources with questions about the process, intent, and findings of the evaluation before the review is even concluded. This signaled to me that the findings of the committee would be carefully dissected and reviewed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In closing, I would like to say that the only reason that I consider participating in the committee was to provide a valuable service to the donors, many of whom are friends, and in some cases family. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **I ALSO WANT** to add that I can attest to the fact that Alec has been forthright with sharing all relevant documents that were requested, answering questions and concerns, and allowing the committee to operate on its own timeline. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I would like to thank Alec for considering me for the committee and also for being gracious in understanding my reasons for deciding to step down from it. I’ve truly appreciated how you have conducted yourself throughout this exercise. | ||
