When you’re an unproven filmmaker these days, crowdfunding is almost a given to get your film across the finish line. Rarely, though, do we see a film in the crowdfunding arena that looks as polished as DRAGON WARRIORS, and just needs that one little bump to hit completion.
Take a look at these sequences that directors Maclain Nelson and Stephen Shimek already have in the can. The first is with lead baddie James Masters, whom you likely know from BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and TORCHWOOD; the second features Kaitlin Doubleday as the princess in distress.
Here’s the Kickstarter pitch for the film’s finishing costs, from the project’s directors:

An evil wizard, Lord Tensley, seeks the hand and heart of the beautiful princess, Lady Ennogard. When she refuses, he locks her away and releases a deadly dragon, which he controls, to terrorize the land. He vows that until she accepts his love, his dragon will destroy all who dare display any sign of love, throughout the kingdom. Desperate to end the tyranny, she sends an enchanted dragonfly with a mission to find a true “Dragon Warrior”, who is fit to release her from her captor and stop the destruction of the dragon.
Meanwhile a young warrior Camilan, braves the attacks of the Dragon and plans to marry his true love, the elf princess Larec. But his parents refuse to give their blessing, as marrying outside of their race would forfeit the family birthright. His only hope is to find a wife for his estranged older brother Ramicus, a rogue bounty hunter. But convincing the wild-hearted Ramicus to settle down and secure the family’s inheritance, seems a feat as impossible as any heroic quest.
Camilan reunites with brother in hopes to soften his heart. His attempts are in vain until Princess Ennogard’s dragonfly reaches their camp and relays her call of distress. Enamored by her beauty and lured by the promise of wealth, Ramicus agrees to take on the heroic task. So Ramicus, and his Orc sidekick Shokdor, and Camilan and his loyal squire Samton, set off on a journey to rescue Lady Ennogarde and put an end to the Dragon and the evil reign of the powerful Lord Tensley.
