Episode 6 - “Inside the Acting Studio”
Is this new era of do-it-yourself media going to change the meanings of traditional credits? Anyone with a digital still camera can call themselves a photographer. Anyone with a blog can call themselves a writer. And anyone who takes it upon themselves to make a movie can call themselves a director.
More and more, films and other creative projects are being made by amateurs who have no need to be mindful of the standard defined roles. If an actor improves lines, aren’t they helping write the film? If an acting coach comes on set and helps with performances aren’t they helping direct the film? And how does this change the value of these kinds of titles?

You guys rock. I am so inspired. I have been doing my own thing (film/music) and am so bomebarded with the bullshit of life that I I do not have the freedom to shore my creations. This “foureyedmonsters” experience has lit a fire under my ass as far as getting my content out there. Thank you.
And F#$@ the studio movie scene. You guys are going to reach so many people doing this style of guerilla marketing that soon you will be able to sell your content and make more money on the indie side than with a theatrical release. You guys inspire me. thank you.

I loved the…, wtf? ha ha so funny.. the font on this is SMALLER than one the rest of the website, as if so say my comments are somehow meaningless (TL (tue laugh?_**( =)). I thoroughly enjoyed your movie, and.. my mind just went blank and I will now write random thoughts.
Holy fuck… Cheese whiz! Who the hell would eat this? AAAAAHHHHH! (scream). Ok thank you …
Anyway, think I am an alien, alien, blain.
Hey are we all linked together through telepathy?
I had a brainstorm and starting writing a novel – I got my base down so that’s cool tank you bunny!
Meow – woof – Arf, snarf, wharf
Another bowl for the maestro please!
Why were they metal bowls? METAL?!? Crystal is neutral, along with glass and ceramic (although ceramic can contain trace elements of radioactive materials, check your dishes with a Geiger counter). Plus they look like dog bowls, my dog has one just like it (class distinction? Do I distinguish myself from a dog or did creative processes decide this for me? I would like to hope so, although we may be one and the same [me staring at a dog is god staring at me?] ** side note need alcohol for blood flow, wine preferably, plus alcohol [in small amounts] is a very healthy decision. Getting shit faced every night however will kill your liver. So they key is moderation. **
MMeow blerg moof tweet burgle – the animals that posses me are strange!
Parot Bay – If it wasn’t for piracy I wouldn’t have bought a copy – is that ironic? Irony?
—-Ok at this point my mind regained control and now I can say what I wanted to. Every now and then I have these strange thoughts enter my head so I write them down.
Ok If I were a kitten how cute would I be! FUCK! I am trying to block this creative influences and it’s not working. OMG I really am a MUSE – mmmm love their music too, it’s like greenday meets the cure.
Ok sanity has arrived for this brief moment, I would like to say I think your movie was excellent. I felt the soul of it; it made me feel like there are real people out there in a world of false images. In a world where everyone speaks falsely, the language is a language of deception. It is nice to see something real with such a beautiful way of looking at things. I see art in every frame, and I love it. All the eye shots make me horny too (hey I have to speak truthfully here).
Yeah yeah, lets not go there with that whole “who’s” sane argument, as long as there is happiness who cares right?
