Paul and Sandra Fierlinger animated and painted the full-length feature film "My Dog Tulip," based on J.R. Ackerley's book about a man and his German Shepherd.

The Fierlingers, who now reside in Penn Wynne, attended a screening of their movie at the Bryn Mawr Film Institute and held a Q and A session immediately following the film.

Friends Nanita Barchi, Elizabeth Wilson and Janice Martin all said they enjoyed the realness of the film.

"I liked the animation style--I liked everything about it," Wilson said. "To show the things in life you don't normally show, and the realness of that--it was not implied, but explicit."
