 When he was a child, his mother bought him a film projector and one day he drew stick figures on a piece of scotch tape.He ran the tape through the projector and just before the tape burned up inside of the projector, he saw the animated figure dance on the wall and that's when he knew he wanted to make films.In 1961 at the age of 15, Dohler started a "Mad"-style fanzine called "WILD".
