Prelude to Axanar is a 2014 fan-made short film, directed by Christian Gossett and written by Gossett and Alec Peters. Funded through Kickstarter, production sought $10,000 in funding, but raised over $101,000. It had its public debut July 26, 2014, at San Diego Comic-Con.

Production

Alec Peters and his original production partner, co-writer, and director Christian Gossett began work on the film in 2010. Gossett's production company, Metamorfic, was brought on board, as Peters had no previous production experience.

The film was shot in two days, with a third day as a pickup to get plates of Admiral Ramirez's first speech as leader of the Federation of Planets. Cast includes Richard Hatch and J. G. Hertzler in principal roles, with Gary Graham reprising his role as Vulcan ambassador Soval. The filmmakers' stated purpose was to demonstrate that high-quality Star Trek films could be made on a low budget.
