Slocum at Sea with Himself
Sep 10, 2015I 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.
More Vivid Than This Morning's News
Jun 03, 2024The 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.

King of the Rest
May 05, 2020Based 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.
Amby & Dexter was a small series of animated interstitials on Nick Jr. in 1997, created by Paul Fierlinger and his wife Sandra Schuette, and composed by John Avarese. The title is a play on the word "ambidexterity", meaning "the ability to use both hands", as the characters transform from a pair of hands.
Amby and Dexter are depicted as miniature bespectacled, dressed humans, free to move and think of their own accord. The two solve problems and never speak. Amby, the female hand, is playful and has a penchant for dancing to get from one place to another. Dexter, the male hand, is more serious and sometimes annoyed by Amby's antics, but never too bothered. After the two finished their task, they transform back into the original pair of hands.
