Finally we have a new outlet for shorts to be seen by more of the general public...as well as those of us with more than a normal level of interest in film making and story telling.

WHAT IS WHOLPHIN?
Wholphin is a new quarterly DVD magazine from McSweeney's, lovingly encoded with unique and ponderable films designed to make you feel the way we felt when we learned that dolphins and whales sometimes, you know, do it. Available immediately by subscription and distributed quarterly in the same places you'll find McSweeney's and The Believer, each issue of Wholphin will contain a variety of extraordinary short films, docs, instructional videos, foreign sitcoms, and other cinema hybrids that deserve to be seen on very expensive televisions.
A friend of mine here has a copy and I have to say it was an enjoyable experience to see others work producing some interesting short films which have not been forced into the "commercial mode". Admittedly, some of it was a little too far out there for me but...I saw possibilities and have hopes it can grow into something better.
Has anyone else had a chance to see this?
