... Film Makers
Director (Nick Murphy) This Los Angeles Film school graduate recently interned at the The Donners’ Company, run by esteemed producer Lauren Shuler Donner and legendary director Richard Donner. Murphy's biggest project yet, Tears Of The Dragon, will be a true testament to low budget, guerilla style fan filmmaking.
Producer (Valerie Perez) The diverse background she has with pyrotechnics, visiting places off the beaten path, and the cosplay world equipped this computer geek very well to coordinate and network a project such as this. She is a certified Fire Safety Officer, confidant of explorer groups such as the Desert Dogs and a comic book/cosplay model with a bachelors degree in NeuroScience.
Music Composer (Bekki Williams) Bekki performed her first solo concert at the tender age of 8.

She has composed for radio programmes, and has worked as a session musician in several recording studios.
Makeup Effects (Dominic Alfano) With fellow makeup special effects artist, Catlin Carroll, his all out goal for "Tears of the Dragon" was to make people bleed... This man can do it all from beauty to prosthetics with a particualr fondness for buckets of gore and custom body parts. With his help, anything is possible.
Visual Effects Consultant (Joel Eckert) Using applications such as 3d Studio Max, Avid, Adobe After Effects and Adobe PhotoShop there is little he can't do.
