Our feature film, My Dog Tulip, is opening tomorrow in New York City and elsewhere. If you go to this link:

and click on THEATERS you might find one near you -- it's just the beginning and more will be added weekly.
Here are a couple of reviews:

Plummer Falls for Four-Legged Bitch in ?Tulip? Film: Interview - Bloomberg
My wife, Sandra, and I animated and painted the entire film by ourselves, using TVPaint Pro and edited the Film in Vegas Pro, from where it went to filmout and 35 mm film. The format we worked in was 1080p
The music and sound tracks were done by John Averese, using Final Cut Pro.
It took us 2 1/2 years to draw, another 1/2 for completion and 1 1/2 to find distribution.
The distributor is New Yorker Films, which had to close in 2009 for financial difficulties and recovered in 2010. My Dog Tulip is the first film they acquired after this recovery.

I hope many of you will get to see this in theaters but the DVD is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2011. The movie is expected to go overseas in December, most likely opening first in the UK, since it is based on a British story and spoken by Christopher Plummer et al. in the King's English. This is a film for adults, by the way.

Congrats, Paul! Hope the audiences respond (they ought to). I hope we'll get a theater run in Portland? Seems like a good audience here...

I was fascinated to read in the NYTimes article that you're embarking on some sort of Slocum film - wow, they don't get any saltier than Joshua Slocum. Hope that project works out, I'd certainly like to see it. His story is one of the great ones, and deserves to be more widely known.

Incredible! Congratulation - looks like a master piece!

Definitely amazing. There are few people in this world that have the ability to do what you have done.
