Our first shoot date is set for the first weekend in October. Friday – Sunday, October 4-6th. We are now working on staffing these shoot dates.
PRODUCTION NOTES
1) We are going to try and shoot the bridge scenes on Friday, but this is a heavy lift with a dozen actors, so this may get pushed to its own weekend. We may just shoot JG Hertzler’s bridge scenes this weekend, then shoot Garth’s scenes another weekend.
2) We have three locations ATM. Ares Studios for bridge scenes, a professional film studio for the green screen interviews, and a recording studio for the audio drama. We will have Producers and Directors at each, and need staff for each location.
3) Each location will have its own Producer in charge of everything that happens there. He will have a Location Coordinator helping with location needs including schedule/transportation/catering.
4) Staffing priority is as follows:
1. Donors who signed up for Producer and Production Assistant roles.
2. Atlanta volunteers, based on seniority
3. All other Axanar fans.
But we will need plenty of people, so if you can commit, we would love to have you.
Atlanta’s volunteer cadre. These guys have been the mainstay of our Atlanta crew since 2014! Reece, Lee and Steve.

Jobs to fill:

Location Coordinator – Will be in charge of coordinating everything that happens at the locations (Ares Studios, Dana’s Studio, Secondary Studio). We need 3.
