Phat Lemur was founded in the year 2000 by Duce and 2 Dogs. The original project of Phat Lemur Productions, (which is still yet to be completed), was to be an animated short called Brisbone and Teeton. The first actual project was a film produced by 2 Dogs and Duce called Gods of the Rink. 

     This film was shortly followed by another film called Minimum Wage which was produced by the newest member of the company; Shaggy. Both films were subsequently entered into the 2001 Champlain College Film Festival held annually at Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. Both films were honoured with awards at the festival within their designated categories. (Incidentally, Phat Lemur also produced the Introduction to the film festival.)

      Phat Lemur has since expanded to include three new members who will also take the company in new directions. Angelus will be heading the Web Design and Software Development branch, G will be contributing in the creative writing and consulting fields, while Double J will be the head of the Art and Artwork departments. 

     Together these 6 members have thus began the beginning of something that had already begun...
