Sandra Fierlinger

The story of a man who rescues a German Shepherd and how the two become fast friends. Based on the 1956 memoir of the same name by BBC editor, novelist and memoirist J. R. Ackerley.

Patrick McDonnell tells the story of the young Jane Goodall and her special childhood toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. As the young Jane observes the natural world around her with wonder, she dreams of "a life living with and helping all animals," until one day she finds that her dream has come true.

Paul Fierlinger's unique animation captures five individuals from diverse backgrounds as they describe their bouts with loneliness, its challenges and benefits.

Based on his own personal memories of his long-time close friend, actor and voice actor Jim Thurman, Fierlinger recounts a number of unbelievable events they experienced together. A memory travelogue.

I was a self-taught sailor of marginal skills when I did something I had never attempted before: I was solo sailing our 30 foot Islander into her home port and had noticed that there was no one in sight. I therefore decided to sail her directly into her slip without engine or crew. I turned her about to head directly into the on-shore breeze, locked the wheel, dropped both sails as she lost speed on due course, and casually, letting her first just kiss the slip, I stepped off her deck to cleat her home … done.

The story opens with animator and raconteur, Paul Fierlinger describing episodes from life while waiting for the Great Covid Pandemic to pass. There is no social life to have but two dogs to walk and play with. The daily news streaming over mass media is neither new or useful to shut-ins, so it is best kept off. His selective memory at work and in no consecutive order, though good storytelling stuff still vivid in his diminishing memory bank which he considers worth the effort to spend 15 hours a day drawing, Sandra painting, each of us one picture at a time. The idea is to survive while remaining sane and to finish the job. One more requirement: Once done, the film must work to engage an international audience.
