2013 Company Update

As the many highlights and links on this webpage attest, Twitchy Dolphin Flix continues exploding in every area of independent filmmaking from productions, to festival appearances, to press coverage; and we have great confidence that 2013 will see us building upon the successes of the past.

We are proud to share that Twitchy Dolphin Flix has grown bigger and faster than even we imagined when we formed the company back in 2007. That is an amazing reality that fuels us every day and that we owe entirely to our equally amazing fan-base and production crew.

What hasn't kept pace, however is our website, and some of those growing pains have been recently visible. What started as a draft design about 6 years ago has, almost accidentally, ended up serving us pretty well for a long time. But we've reached a point where it makes more sense to devote our limited resources to transitioning TwitchyDolphin.com to the kind of quality experience you've come to expect from us, rather than continuing to service the existing version of the site.

To that end we have made a few improvements immediately. So, welcome to TwitchyDolphin.com, version 1.2.

You will notice the video window remains the focal point of our site. We've always said our films should always speak for themselves. However we have expanded the window to improve the viewing experience and have tied it directly to our YouTube.com channel to bring you all the latest Twitchy Dolphin content automatically in real-time.

We're also moving from more in-depth news stories with pics to shorter, headline-based updates that will highlight only major announcements. So to compensate, we've expanded the display of our Twitter feed so you can keep up with more of our day-to-day shenanigans in real-time as well.

Finally, we're now featuring a prominent new display of links to Twitchy Dolphin info on other websites where we'll continue to be more active, like our Facebook pages.

We hope you enjoy the new look. We're looking forward to incorporating some of these enhancements and more into a completely modernized new version 2.0 soon.

With these enhancements in place however, we are suspending active development on the rest of this website while transitioning to a fully-automated content management solution and a brand new design. We are also discontinuing our MySpace page. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but are committed to returning with a far more complete and manageable web presence than we've ever had before.

In the meantime, we will continue operating our online store where you can purchase all Twitchy Dolphin DVDs, special event tickets, and submit your film to Scarlet Waters, our big indie film event on October 19. And check out some of the many other social media sources listed on this website to follow up-to-the-minute news and pics straight from Twitchy Dolphin and our fans.
