In the matter of very odd, an adventurous filmmaker, Todd O'Day, is on board based on stories the captain insisted were true about certain islands. On the more practical side, F. Polizei is the first mate who ensures that egos and large agendas do not interfere in the dangerous waters. Polizei however, has no apparent past. Whatever your reason for taking this cruise to the unknown, it is our wish that you do not succumb to typhoon fever.

 An Animated Murder - Quixote Films is getting ready to launch its next computer generated feature. The genius behind the scenes, B.DePhwago, is about to test the limits. Now that CGI and motion capture are all the rage, it appears that the old fashioned "cartoonists" have more power than the old movie moguls. A new and different motion picture industry attracts an unusual and sometimes nefarious breed, reserved in most other cases for actors. How will Dr. Z., CEO of Quixote, handle the various temperaments or is thier another agenda? Will the typical hyperactivity of a children's show ooze violence over the edges of the screen and give us an animated murder?
