We’ve got great news, we’ve been told by our manufacturing company our DVDs are finally done. Above are the graphics we created for the cover and back of the DVD. We have just a few things to finalize later this week to get all of our DVDs shipping to those who have pre-ordered DVDs. Then we’ll go live with a brand new online store and announce the official ship date at which point DVDs will be shipped the day they are ordered and we’ll be in business with the whole DVD launch.

So if you never made it to a screening to see our film, or there wasn’t one where you live, or you just want to show our film to friends, here is your chance to become a proud owner of our DVD.

Purchase our DVD from our website.

So what is on this DVD? Over 3 and half hours of material. The film is 70 minutes, Episodes 1 to 8 of the video podcast are 63 minutes, all of the news updates and early rare video blogs are 60 minutes, both trailers, and we even included both our net neutrality videos which total 15 minutes.

The DVDs are shipping latter this month and those who order right away will actually get their copy of the DVD a few days before the official ship date.

Then, if you want to be included in a video podcast news update we make to promote the DVD, send us pictures or even video of you getting the DVD from your mail box and adding it to your shelf of DVDs. Also anything else you can think of that could be interesting would be great too, like maybe invite some friends over to see the film with you, shoot some footage of that and ask them on video what they thought of the film afterwards. Whatever you’d like. Check out our tutorial on uploading video to youtube. In the tutorial it talks about how to add “tags” to your video. So Tag videos on youtube with “Four Eyed Monsters DVD” so we’ll find them and include them in our edit as well as on our site in their entirety.

Another cool thing about the way we are releasing our DVD:

Because we are self distributing our DVD right now all of the proceeds go to our $81,000 credit card debt we are in from making the film and after that’s paid off it will go towards us continuing to make more video podcast episodes and hopefully a second feature film. So we may get our DVD eventually into Netflix and Amazon but for several months it will only be available here on our site because that way 100 percent of the proceeds go to us. So if this works then we’ll be helping prove that filmmakers don’t need any middle men, they can just make the films they want to make, build an audience online and support their filmmaking by self distributing to theaters, DVD and downloads.

So no pressure, but hey, if you want to see our film, the best way to do that right now is picking up the dvd?

Also, we love hearing from people what they thought of our film, so if you do pick up the DVD, tell us what you thought of it. Here are some recent highlighted comments:

Carmella said in a myspace comment:

“the film, it was beautiful. pure truth and wonderful expression… thank you for making this film.”

Carrie said in a myspace comment:

“Finally saw the movie last night at IFC…wow…you guys blew me away!! It totally lived up to all the buzz. So innovative and different and also so touching and real. You guys should be really proud. I wish you so much success with distribution. Everyone in the country should see this movie. Congratulations!”

Dan said in a myspace comment:

“I saw the screening last Thursday in LA and loved it! It was very inspiring, not only creatively (as I have been trying to become a screen writer) but also personally. The movie felt very intimate and felt almost like a voyeur, very touching. You guys are amazing to share so much, and do it so well. Thanks.”

Sara said in a myspace message:

“I finally was able to see the film last night in Chicago. Fucking AMAZING. It was everything I ever thought it could possibly be and … wait for it … more. You guys are fantastic, and I am ecstatic that I got to see such a wonderful piece of work”

MissChantel said in a myspace message:

“I TRIED NOT TO HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS OF THE MOVIE SO I WOULDN’T BE DISAPPOINTED, I MUST SAY YOUR FILM EXCEEDED ANY EXPECTATION. I’VE BEEN POSTING BULLETINS IN SUPPORT OF THE FILM AND WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING, AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. I BELIEVED IN THE CONCEPT EVEN BEFORE I SAW IT, NOW I’M EVEN MORE EXCITED, YOU’VE PRODUCED SOMETHING GRAND, MONUMENTAL, AND TRUELY INSPIRING. I WANT TO THANK YOU AND SAY KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. :)

If you are new to the project and haven’t looked at our trailer here it is:

And if you haven’t seen our video podcast here is episode 1 and the “next” button on the page will take you through all 8 episodes that tell the insane story of having made our film.

So thats it for now, again, can’t stress enough how now would be a really good time to order the dvd and add it to your collection.

Thanks a ton for supporting our film making and please spread the word about our DVD.

Love
Arin & Susan

  8. Andy Says:

    Got the DVD when I arrived from my trip from Vegas today. I watched it and it has not only inspired me as a artist but as a human being with the opportunity to involve others that live far away with my life. I have waited a while to see the film and since I couldn’t watch the Second Life screening, due to video connection problems, I ordered that night when you said that there would be a DVD.

    Thanks again and godspeed.
