Dragons TV Show Pilot Released Online.
This past May Mike V completed work on the pilot episode of the television show, DRAGONS and it is now available to view online. (View it below.)
In DRAGONS Mike V plays skate hippie, pirate guru Eric Ron who Mike describes as “A mix between Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jeff Spicoli and Conan’s father.” In DRAGONS, Eric Ron’s proteges Bruce Walker and Vince Stone, inspired by their mentor, have set out on a mission to gain freedom by conquering different levels of enlightenment in unorthodox and goofy ways. Their quest eventually leads them to the top of Mountain Lion Mountain where once there, they plan to skate down it, turn into balls of fire and fly away as DRAGONS.
