Help Mallory Shofi Rebuild Her SFX Magic

Let's Help Mallory Get Their Movie Magic Back!

Hi, everyone. My name is Ryan Mekenian, and I'm reaching out to ask for your support for an incredible friend and colleague, Mallory Shofi. Mallory isn't just a brilliant cinema makeup and visual effects artist; she's a magician when it comes to creature design and special effects. I've had the privilege of working alongside her on several film sets, and every time, her dedication, passion, and talent have blown me away. She's a true collaborator, always making the set a better place.

A Devastating Blow to a Passionate Artist

Mallory recently faced a significant setback. Her professional makeup and SFX kits were stolen from her car. Imagine losing the very tools that define your livelihood – that's what happened to Mallory. These aren't just any kits; they're the culmination of years of meticulous collecting and investing, valued at around $10,000. For a freelance artist in film, where we're often expected to bring our specialized equipment to every project, this loss is crippling.

That's why we're launching this GoFundMe. Our goal is to help Mallory replace her stolen kits and get back to doing what she loves. We're aiming to raise $10,000 to cover the full cost of her supplies. Even if we can raise half of that—$5,000—it would be a big step in helping her rebuild. Every dollar will go directly towards replacing the specialized makeup, prosthetics, and creature design materials she needs to continue her craft.

Join Us in Rallying Around Mallory

Mallory's talent and passion have graced countless projects, and her collaborative spirit has inspired everyone fortunate enough to work with her. Now, it's our turn to rally around her during this challenging time. Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a tangible difference in helping Mallory get back on her feet and back to creating the movie magic she's so passionate about.

Thank you for taking a moment to read Mallory's story and for considering a donation. If contributing financially isn't possible, simply sharing this campaign with your network would be a help. Let's show Mallory the astonishing support she deserves!

With gratitude,

Ryan Mekenian,

On behalf of Mallory Shofi
