“[Crumley & Buice] may have a leg up on the thousands of other filmmakers looking for a distributor. They have just posted the first of a series of planned video podcasts…on a web site, myspace.com, and on itunes…after just one week the material had been viewed by 14,000 internet users.” “They are pursuing, in a more guerilla style, ways to use Apple's new tools and software to further their own goals.” “The poster children for Charles Lyons in his New York Times piece on the personal financial perils of indie-film financing” |

“An increasing consideration for the filmmakers is how they can utilize online social networking sites, like MySpace.com, to promote a release of their movie to a targeted audience.” –Indiewire “Without missing a beat (gotta love modern technology), a group of indie filmmakers have already decided to maximize the possibilities. Arin and Susan…have embraced the new video iTunes format immediately.” “The new videoblog for Four Eyed Monsters looks like it's well worth following. The first installment, which is practically an epilogue to the film itself, hits home for me on a whole slew of levels.” |
“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.” |
“All the cool kids are talking about Arin Crumley and Susan Buice's Four Eyed Monsters video blog. The very canny filmmakers immediately jumped on the release of the iPod Video…announcing their plans to podcast a series of videos about their struggle to find distribution. That intro episode is awesome – cut, like their feature, in rapid-fire montage style.” “A revealing look at a creative process itself borne out of frustration with the status quo …The podcast is an interesting story by itself.” “Artistic compulsiveness demands to be noted, envied and sometimes admired, and I must harp again on Four-Eyed Monsters.... They've posted the second charming, intimate short chronicling their two years-and-counting process.” |
“Their poetic downloadable musings on art, life and filmmaking limn the contours of a new and appealing intimate aesthetic medium.” “One of the best podcasts specifically formatted for iPod we've seen to date.” “The latest episode of the Four Eyed Monsters video podcast is, without a doubt, the best one yet. This installment focuses mostly on Susan's relationship with her parents” –Cinematical blog |
“As Susan Buice's father points out in the film's video podcast this week, "there are all kinds of investment and financial is just one of [them]." Staring at Crumley behind the camera, her mom, explaining why she wants to support Susan and her new boyfriend, cuts to the chase: "My hope is grandchildren." “As the couple contends, the fact that these technologies are available to the public has the potential to really impact the landscape of the film industry.” “New distribution models for modest yet imaginative movies like Four-Eyed Monsters are key…New ways of getting stories out there are coming: here's to the next generation that builds on what the likes of Steve Jobs are doing today.” |
