The origin of Dear Mr. Watterson came from Schroeder wanting to understand the cultural impact of Bill Watterson's decade-long comic strip, so he began as a series of fan interviews in December 2007.[2]

Dear Mr. Watterson launched its first Kickstarter campaign on December 15, 2009 ending March 15, 2010. The Kickstarter raised more than 200% of the goal of $12,000. Since then they have gone on to interview Berkeley Breathed, Lee Salem, Stephan Pastis, Jef Mallett, Dave Kellett, Charles Solomon, Seth Green, Keith Knight, Jenny Robb, Tony Cochran, Andrew Farago (Cartoon Art Museum), Joe Wos (Toonseum), Jean Schulz, Jan Eliot, Bill Amend, and more. And in addition also launched a second Kickstarter campaign[3] in order to fund the finishing of the project. The campaign was successfully funded July 14, 2012.

On November 21, 2012 Schroeder reported to the Kickstarter backers that they had completed the 'Martini Shot', which is the last take you shoot while in production on a film. In late December 2012 the crew shipped nearly 200 posters[4] as a show of appreciation to backers of their kickstarter all over the world. Since then they have been updating their Kickstarter with notifications on their submissions of the film to film festivals all over the US, and on March 1, 2013 they announced that Dear Mr. Watterson had been accepted into the 37th Annual Cleveland International Film Festival (History)

Dear Mr. Watterson is directed by Joel Allen Schroeder and produced by Chris Browne and Matt McUsic.
