"Wholphin is a quarterly DVD magazine containing a selection of short films which have had little or no exposure elsewhere. It was created by Dave Eggers and Brent Hoff of McSweeney's publishing house. It is apparently named after the marine animal of the same name, a rare hybrid of a false killer whale and a dolphin, to highlight its unusual nature.
Eggers and Hoff claim they were inspired to create it after the Cannes Film Festival, which is one of very few places at which many of these short films can ever be seen. Short films and documentaries have limited exposure to the general public because:
"they're too short to show on TV, and they don't play in theaters because they'd rather show some great trivia about Adam Sandler." (Brent Hoff)
The first issue of Wholphin was released in December 2005, containing among others a documentary by Spike Jonze about Al Gore, by David O. Russell on U.S. soldiers in Iraq, films by Miguel Arteta and Miranda July, David Byrne and Selma Blair, Turkish sitcoms and Iranian animation."
