 Wholphin, a Journal Cast Against Type -- On DVD
Wholphin is not just a new magazine, it's a whole new concept of a magazine -- a quarterly DVD mag containing not articles but short films, new and old, American and foreign, fiction, documentaries and animation.
Wholphin is put out by the wild, wacky folks who publish McSweeney's, an avant-garde literary mag, and the Believer, a literary mag that's not quite as avant-garde but is still pretty freaking weird.
The Wholphin folks promise that their next issue will include short films created by the writers at "The Daily Show." That sounds promising.

 Honolulu Star-Bulletin News /2005/04/15/
The father of the new wholphin could be either of two males that had been in the same pool as Kekaimalu last year: Mikioi or Kaleo, both Sea Life Park residents in their 20s.
Both wholphins' color is midway between the fl of a false killer whale and the light gray of a bottlenose dolphin.
The young wholphin shadowed her mother, keeping pace with her parent's seemingly effortless glides around the 45-by-90-foot main portion of the pool and even surfacing to breathe in synchronized time.

The Wholphin team collects "rare and unseen short films" and brings them to the masses, a great avenue for entrepreneurial filmmakers to tread, and perhaps avoid their work being lost among isolated audiences of the film-festival aristocracy.
If anything on this DVD represents the duality that Wholphin intends to portray, this meeting of science and high art is it - These scientists aren’t just their job, a concept many "filmmakers" should apply to themselves.
