Whatever It Takes
Battling The Four Eyed Monsters
We all hear stories about how films get made, but less attention is paid to the anguishing process of getting a film seen by an audience. Follow the moving and comical adventure of two filmmakers as they try to distribute their film.
In 2005, Susan Buice and Arin Crumley screened their film, Four Eyed Monsters, at several festivals including Gen Art's. Around the same time, they began shooting a prequel in the form of a video podcast. In twenty plus episodes (each four to five minutes long) you'll see this couple struggle to make rent, stay together and get their movie seen. This is the latest incarnation of reality television and it's seriously compelling. With the release of the video iPod, the buzz around the directors is hitting hyper-drive due to their skillful storytelling and use of cutting edge technology. Pulse readers can see the first episode by clicking here. You can also sign up to receive episodes via iTunes or MySpace.
Distribution for the independent filmmaker just got a little easier. As for their feature film? They’re still ironing out a strategy, so please - stayed tuned for more details...
RANDOM TANGENT:
Cryptozoology is the study of animals that are presumed (at least by the researcher) to exist, but for which proof does not exist. Recently, cryptozoologists hit it big when the giant squid was finally photographed.
