I'm sure we're gonna see them soon. We've seen all the others why not
this one.
To generate more interest in Blur? I tought everyone knew them?! 
I mean they're everywhere from commercials to game cinematics to shorts
and now they're in the movie business with a future Rockfish movie! ;)

That said, I can't wait to see Gentlemen's Duel!
Cheers,
MAC

I understand that....sure....but how does not showing it to the general 
public make them more money?  Do they make money off the small 
screenings?  I would think releasing it the masses would generate more 
buzz and possibly translate more interest in their work later down the 
road when a feature length film is released.  I'm just curious to know 
the business model behind tight screenings of animated shorts I guess.
