Connecticut Film Festival 2009

In July 2007, Mira Tweti, an animal welfare journalist found an orphaned duckling near her home in southern California and took her home. A parrot expert, Tweti (pronounced: Tweety, and it is her given name), planned to give the little duck she called, Dewie, to a rescue. Unexpectedly, Dewie lived in Tweti's apartment for more than two months while Tweti searched for a perfect home. Along the way the Playboy Mansion agreed to take her as well as the Bel Air country club. But in the end, Dewie moved in with Lani and Edward Culver and their duck, Flipper. Dewie and Flipper fell in love fiction shortly afterwards. The Culvers and Tweti now consider themselves to be related by marriage.
