Hi, my name is Dragon Dronet. I am a special practical effects artist, stunt man, martial artist, sword and weapons master, model builder, and teacher for over 35 years in the industry of Hollywood. I’m also a husband and grandfather. I have contributed to the arts community teaching and sharing what I know my entire life for free, never charged to visit schools or centers of learning. My main focus was helping young filmmakers and artist, and even kids that just needed encouragement. I still have a lot to teach… Because the industry has been in a downturn, there has been very little work; not enough to get by. So I’m changing my approach to make teaching and the things I live to do still possible for me. I can still teach out of my shop online, with years of behind the scenes in-depth videos and content, many behind the scenes videos that have never been seen before from entertainment that people love, including interviews with many industry friends… I need to save my shop and my house as we’ve fallen behind, and need funds to help get my online site up and running. I already have the content and the interview space/workspace to teach and help. If I can get a bump start, I just need the breath to start with… Then I’ll fly! I’ve never felt comfortable asking for help, as a giver myself, but this time it’s imperative at this point in my life. The goal would be to raise around 50k, but if it’s possible to raise more, it would give me, my wife, and my granddaughter the time needed to put my website and all of the content to put on it/make for it together… Any amount from any person is held with my greatest and deepest appreciation!

P.S. I’m scheduled to teach next month at Sage/FenCon in Pasco, Washington, but if my financial situation isn’t resolved, then I will have to bow out… Many thanks, again, for considering supporting me!..
