Why do some people feel it’s necessary to spin their own web of lies and construct a false “us versus them” narrative to cover up their own incompetence? Writer-director Paul Jenkins takes a closer look at the machinations of failed fan film producer Alec Peters to explain just how “The Big Lie” works in the world of fan films as we continue to go into the wormhole that is Axanar.

According to writer-director Paul Jenkins, there was a bigger reason he should have walked away from his documentary, The Battle for Axanar. The main subject of that film, Alec Peters, is a known vexatious litigant – and that meant things could get expensive in a hurry.

Maybe he should have walked away. But writer-director Paul Jenkins has always had a hard time walking away from bullies.
