In January 2023, while the Star Trek fan film “Axanar” was shooting, a piece of the full movie script, was used to make a short 6 minute film, directed by Mark Edward Lewis.

While Axanar is currently running full force in post production doing VFX assemblies, Sound Editing and placement of shots supervised by Mark Edward Lewis(as well), he found time to helm this scene that introduces the USS Ares onto the screen.
