The 21 Minute introduction to the upcoming Axanar feature film is now available to the public! The Axanar team have posted the video on Kickstarter to help raise awareness of the fundraising effort for the main film and have asked that it not be posted elsewhere, so you will have to head over there to see it in HD.
Believe Moby, it is worth checking out.
In any case here is the short non-HD version, only 5 minutes long, that I can post here(via Kickstarter).
Trust Moby, go see the whole thing in HD.
Of course, fans should also check out the Axanar Facebook page for up-to-date information on the project.
