Building Ares Studios with Curtis Laseter and Dean Newberry. Making a studio-quality feature film requires proper facilities. Ares Studios, the new home of Axanar, is set to take independent Star Trek productions where they’ve never gone before. But before this can happen, there’s a lot of work to be done. In this episode of the official Axanar podcast, hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Alec Peters are joined by two members of the construction team to bring you the inside story. Curtis Leseter, who brings his Babylon 5 experience to Axanar, explains how the sound stage is being built, while Dean Newberry of Propworx talks about transforming the warehouse into a full-fledged studio. Plus, Alec and Rob share their thoughts on the passing of Leonard Nimoy.

Matter Stream: Science, Creativity, and the World Inspired by Star Trek
Alec Peters and Richard Hatch talk Star Trek: Axanar. Star Trek has inspired fans in many ways, and for creatives one of the most tantalizing paths to exploring Gene Roddenberry’s universe is through the DIY method—Do It Yourself. Without new episodes on television, fans with a background in film production, writing, and acting have developed a number of series that extend the missions of our favorite crews—and introduce us to new ones. The quality of these films has been astounding, giving us content that rivals that of television in years past. In this episode of Matter Stream we’re joined by Propworx founder Alec Peters and Battlestar Galactica’s Richard Hatch to discuss their new film project, Star Trek: Axanar, a war story set in the Star Trek universe that brings back some familiar characters, familiar actors, and delivers many new faces as well.
We talk again with Alec Peters from Propworx, who gives us a preview of what's happening at the second BSG prop auction, occurring May 7-10. If you are in Southern California, check it out! And if not, be sure to visit battlestarprops.com for details. Don't miss out on your chance to score some BSG memorabilia!
We talk with Alec Peters from Propworx, who is putting together the massive collection of actual BSG props that are going up for auction next month. The webisodes and Season 5 premiere have official dates, and aren't far off! Until then, sci-fi TV pickings are slim. We discuss the dearth of quality sci-fi shows and postulate what is to come in the era of tight television budgets and copycat reality shows.
