I jsut have to say that your film is a trye art. I am really into modern art and
contemporary pieces. Your film is just so unique and, i don’t know but it has this
intense edge that gives the film an outlook that the story is so odd, and so different
it has to be real. it’s really inspiring and, i don’t know it just has this unexpainable
awe to it. it’s one of the best films that I’ve ever seen and i hope you to stay together
forever, you two were meant for eachother and are truly inspiring. Good job
and i hope to see more of your films in the future, just try to make them more underbudget
and less stressful. lol.

I’ve just finished watching your impressive film. It is so inspiring. It’s like a trip. While I was watching the film I got an telephone call. She asked me if I was sleeping because I have been so into the film and couldn’t say a word. Really good work with a wonderful soundtrack! 1 Dollar from a German fan awaiting your next production!

Thank you for making this movie and your online episodes. It is awesome to see anything these days that is so… raw, and just made of someone like your work is. I really hope you can bring the movie to Philadelphia! (I’ve already requested) I wish you guys the very best. I’m a web designer by profession, so if you guys ever need any web work, let me know.
D.T. Says:
June 9th, 2007 at 4:31 pm
What you folks have put together is an incredibly passionate, daring and touching piece of art. Having seen all the episodes multiple times and having followed the story behind the film for a little while now, my expectations for the film itself were admittedly pretty high. The final product met and exceeded those expecations in spectacular fashion.

The film is so full of life, love and creativity. It’ll stick with me for a long time.

Thank you so much for putting so much of yourselves into this project and doing everything you can to make sure it reaches as broad an audience as possible. Good luck to you in the future of this project, and other projects down the road!

I just want to congratulate the two of you.
When I first clicked on the link for youtube’s first full feature length film, I was expecting some bizzare thing recorded on a couple of cellphones and full of gags.
But what I saw instead was something truly inspiring. The subtlety and beauty of your film is staggering. It has certainly inspired me to get my new cam and get out there and do something with it.

Thanks for the inspiration, and a great 74min spent watching your movie!

I stumbled onto your film quite by chance and was transfixed by it and missed my bed time 2.30am.
you touch those parts of relationships tha can often get lost in the turmoil of life.
The truths that engage us to remind us of our real depths as people

I just finished watching your movie on YouTube this afternoon, and too be honest, I don’t know what drew me in, but it did. Pardon the comparison, but your film has a “Romeo and Juliet” feel, where love isn’t about happy ever after, yet rather a space in time that will affect your memory for as long as you live. Despite what other’s above say, it’s not about whether you stay together or not, rather it’s about the experience that you did have and are having with this film, that is all that matters. I wish you luck in your endeavors and I appreciate the thought provoking realness that your film supplied me with.

Wow! I really loved this movie. I came across the film on youtube.com and honestly was a tad
apprehensivebecause I’ve never had much patients to sit in front of my computer for 70 mins straight!
But I believe it was incredible worth it! I loved the filming. I loved the message. I loved the way
I felt and the thoughts I had when it was over. Even though I was never an “artsy” kind of person,
it’s pretty obvious when it’s a trendy kind of art. This movie was anything but that; it was a genuine kind!
….without that emo vibe!
Loved the film,
-Sarah!
Tyler Says:

June 10th, 2007 at 4:32 am
That was one of the most motivating films I’ve ever seen. Even though I have to wake up early tomorrow… err today… and catch a plane to France I stayed awake through the film because it was so intriguing.

Throughout the film I felt so many different things. It made me scared, depressed, and a little bit taken back about my future career in art, being a senior in high school these types of things are always on my mind. The “project” as a whole put me in awe because of how unique it is and how the strive to create was greater than your relationship troubles.

I would write more about how much I loved the film and how much it made me reflect/examine my future/past but sleep is needed tonight.
AgainÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ it was amazingÃ¢â‚¬Â¦.

I love your film and they way you guys brought the concept together. In fact, I think I like it just a little too much. I found this place yesterday at midnightish and watched the film, all of your episodes, the news videos, requested a screening, checked out your different sites, and sent out emails to all my friends before heading to bed at 5ish in the morning. Only a little bit obsessive but and here I am again at 2:35 pm the next day on your site. One suggestion though, you should set up a way so people can make donations. Good luck!!

Feel proud guys, this is my new favourite movie. Watching some of the episodes, it looks as if you didn’t enjoy the experience, but although we’ve never met, and probably never will, trust me when I say – for your viewers, it was worth it.

ellen Says:
June 11th, 2007 at 11:49 pm
so i watched the film three times and every time i’m fully captivated. it’s contemporary, it’s stylistic, and honest. after the third time and viewing all the podcasts, i mulled it over, the story, the two of you.

when susan types, “it sounds like you’re into this experiment and into this process but not really into me,” it sums up the entire four-eyed monsters experience. the promoting, the film festival, the third-party players, all serve as a mask to what really needed attention, the relationship.

then the film cuts into scenes of those women crying as if susan’s dissatisfaction with the exeriment is a cry for affirmation. wanting to further a connection with the person you love is not a cry for affirmation. putting it in public view might be. your two minds together produce extraordinary things but for one reason or another, you’re looking for outside approval.

susan’s accusation was never really put to rest. it was only supported when getting accepted into slamdance made you suddenly think everything was ok. the film might represent your relationship, but the success of the film has nothing to do with the success of your relationship. susan sees this and that’s why the passion to work on the film may be lacking. what’s a love story when there isn’t a happy ending? truth be told, failure of the film might come from failure of the relationship. the relationship should’ve come first.

And what the blonde chick was saying is correct. You ARE being a control freak. I had a roommate who was just like you. How is she supposed to know whether you love her or whether you’re just interested in being a drama queen. And if you two were just acting, then tee hee, I’m sorry. =D Well, had fun watching your movie! I wish everyone who worked in this movie the best of luck!!!

Thought you would like to know that my blog about
your movie and the fact that it’s showing on YouTube as part of the Spout promotion was picked up this morning and posted as a “Breakfast Link” (”morning news”) on the Madison, Wisconsin and surrounding area’s major blog. So many more people will now know about it as a result.

I’ve been following you for years. I started the journey when I was fighting cancer and had lost most of the vision in both my eyes. The honesty and artistic vision in your podcasts gave me hope and an intersting story to follow. Now, all this time later, I beat the cancer, have had my vision restored and get to SEE your film!! I could not be happier for you or for me. I love the art. I love the idea. I love the honesty. Thank you.

You are linked on my blog and through my website http://www.alotoflife.com

Congratulations!

(PS – spout.com was a great idea! I will buy DVD or Mp4 – which gives you higher profit?)

Hi,
I work for a small film production company in the UK – I’ve just ordered the DVD and I can’t wait to get it!
From a professional point of view, I think what you have done is something a bit special; we shot our first feature film ‘We’ve Got The Toaster’ digitally and are currently self-distributing, and we are always looking out for innovative distibution platforms – this is literally brilliant.
Well done, I hope it’s all going great!
If you’re ever in the UK, drop us a line, it would be amazing to have a chat about it all.
Take care,
Adam

Hey guys!

Just wanted to wish the the best of luck! I’ve been a fan since maybe the second episode popped up on iTunes. I think I even sent a few of the nasty emails asking why new episodes were taking so long. I saw the film here in a New York a while ago but it was great to see it again and hope you get to a point where you can finance another one before too long.

I just posted on my blog about your offering; I hope it gets you at least a few more dollars:

The idea you had for this film was brilliant, and you obviously met for good reason.

I also like the creative and artistic touch that you were able to put in it, It was really fun to watch. I will sign up for that spout thing just for you and if i had the money (im only 15 so i dont…lol) i would somehow send you a huge donation, i hope you break even

Hi Susan and Arin,
I just wanted to thank you for making this film. It’s hard to say what I want without sounding cheesy, but your film really is something special and amazing.. I’m so touched and inspired. I’m a model/prop-making student at uni in the UK, I’ve been meaning to get a camcorder for awhile, and now i really must.
You both are true artists! And funny too, the humour in it was brilliant.
Also I was glad to catch a glimpse of the book “Quit Your Job”! James Kochalka is a legend.
Best wishes to you both, and again Thank You. xxx

It’s been one of those never-ending holidays in Colombia. But, 15 minutes before the day is over, I can say I’m glad I wokeup today to see that u guys exist and videotaped that encounter. I had spent the last months unable to create through some writing, and in the quarter-last part of your film the words just began to spill out. Now I’ve got at least 3 written pages to proove that I’m not completely dead yet. Anyway, thanx for proving the aching of creating but the force and greatness of it.

I really feel like this film was so good…words can’t describe how much I enjoyed watching it. I think you guys could understand without me explaining how relavent this movie is to real life. It was a true story anyway! I think the fact that it was a true story was what made me like the film so much.

I wish you two success and fortune,

Wow! You have so much talent creating this modern masterpiece. Really, it is. Very creative, imaginative, artistic, erct.
The concept and message of this film is very stronge and never lost…

The different medias used in this film are very inspirational, I feel very green once I have seen this film, but at the same time it opens a window to the creative side of the brain. Refreshing.

I have been telling everyone to help you guys and I’m leaving your youtube link on my website for a long time in hopes of helping you guys out, too.

Looking forward to any new Projects,

Hello!

I just saw the movie in youtube, I really don’t know how I got there, neither why I watched the movie but certanly was a great choice to make. You show so much of reallity about life, love, and also in some way lack of it., My name is Patricia, I’ve been living in New York for 6 months now and I come from Argentina.. I’m in the middle of two amazingly wrong relationships, which none of them are going to succed, and I just realice that with your movie, so what I’m trying to say is thankkkss a lot for making me open my eyes.
Of course you have my 1 dolar.
I wish you the best of luck and success in everything you try to acomplish,.

I saw a column talking about your film in the National Post in Canada. Made me look it up and watch it. Really good. Congrats. Hope you get out of debt soon… Ironically just saw a movie about going into credit card debt to start a hockey league… Didn’t think anyone would actually do it, but the world never ceases to amaze me.

Forgive me if this is redundant — if someone’s already commented about this — but has anybody noticed that the Stone Jack Jones song in episode 3 is melodically identical to Laurie Anderson’s “O Superman”? There’s no mention that this is any kind of cover, but there’s no question about the resemblance. The lyrics are different, but even the vocal melody is the same. I’m assuming those guys are too young to remember when “Big Science” was originally released, but maybe one/all of them heard the song and then forgot they heard it? Melody stayed in subconscious or whatever? It can happen, I guess. I’d hate to think it was deliberate?

Hi,
So when ever you guys started making the podcasts, thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s when I started watching. A fan of small independent films I was intrigued at the prospect of looking at the life of two filmmakers. With the podcasts I felt like I knew you. You were bearing your soul and we were all participating in something that was truly unique. I couldn’t wait to watch the film. And I just did.
Wow.
Just wow. It surpassed any and all of my expectations exponentially. The insight, depth, originality, concept and emotion displayed was phenomenal. Something unique to this project is the premise you started from. It is an inspirational piece of art, no matter what we define it as. You are both immensely talented, and I understand credit card debts and other problems plague your life right now, but you both deserve to look at this film, boiled down to what it is. A brilliant, inspirational, insightful and honest piece of modern film. Take a moment and congratulate yourselves on creating something which truly inspires people.
You deserve it.
Yours, from London,
Libby

I really love your film. I have watched it so many times and told tons of people about it. I also love your podcast and subscribe on you tube to get all the video pod cast. I really like how well I could relate to the film. As well as the concept of not talking when you meet somebody. I had a boyfriend once we would text each other instead of talking a lot.. but not for creative reason just because we liked to. Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with next..
Patricia Says:
June 22nd, 2007 at 9:59 pm
What an accomplishment: You put yourselves out there on so many levels. It was captivating, inventive and honest. Such a real depiction of dating and loneliness and the everyday frustrations of artists. I’m a writer, struggling with the interplay of occassional inspiration versus daily dis/un/anti-inspiring, i.e. debilitating circumstances which are too numerous and oftentimes shamefully small and insignificant to begin detailing here. But your film did all of this without seeming whiny or overly affected.

And the last few minutes, a gem.

I wish you good vibes in getting free from the debt in the short run and in the long more opportunities to create and inspire.

Thank you for making this film.

I first saw your film at at a film festival in East Lansing, MI last year. It was recommended by a friend. I fell in love instantly. Typically, after you watch a film you may be impressed enough to try to follow the filmmaker(s) beyond the theatre. If they captivate you sufficiently, you may keep track of them for more than a few hours of your life, but rarely. You have accomplished this, and more. I have been following this effort for over a year now. By involving the audience in the promotion of your work you have given them a personal connection to the film. That is something I think most filmmakers strive for, but few achieve. Bravo.

Also, you made it into Wired: http://www.wired.com/entertainment/theweb/news/2007/06/youtubefest

I LOVE the innocence and naivetÃƒÂ© of youthful hearts! Never allow yourselves to be ground under by the Overlords Of Entropy, those archaic calcified mongers of fear and hatred; whose only joy in life is the subjugation, control, and manipulation of the masses.

Live your lives on the cutting edge of vulnerability, and openheartedness for only then can lifeÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s true purpose be revealed! Never allow yourselves to be brutalized into quiet acquiescence; cause if you do you hand yourself body, mind, and soul as a feast on a silver platter to the gluttons of enslavement.

In my heart I rejoice when I see young minds such as yours with the creativity, daring, and opportunity to make such explicit explications of the inner turmoil of ones own angst-filled inner struggle.

NEVER loose your naivetÃƒÂ© or innocence, for they are the only things that make life worth living!

Yours truly, Dan.

WOW! I’m almost speechless. I just watched the whole thing of four eyed monsters and at first I thought it was just going to be another weird cartoon someone put together, but it was a really awesome movie.

Now I realize that there is no, “normal” relationship. Maybe thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s why things never last, because theirs no right or wrong way to how you love someone, or hate someone, it just is. The world is messed up though because their are all those books and marriage counseling and your friends telling you how things should be in a relationship, how they think things should be, but in the end, all that matters is how the two of you think, even though no one else understands, it doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t really matter.

Love is a monster. No one really knows what it is, what it looks like, and everyone has a different perception of their monster; a different fear.

I have been inspired by your film. Thank you.

I truly appreciate a movie that doesn’t have to fill in all the blanks, but also isn’t too abstract; you’ve done a beautiful job of expressing yourselves as artists and humans AND creating space for the viewers’ own thoughts/ideas/feelings.

I sent left you guys a message on your voicemail line the day after watching your movie. I guess it’s a comment in of itself to say that I was still in an exetremly scattered frame of mind as a result of having watched it. I don’t know how it came out, I don’t know that you heard it. Your film seems to be turning into a real phenomenon. which I thiink is great by the way. I just wanted to do the fan thing I guess, which is unusual for me because I really never do that. I mean I like things, love them too but being a fan implies this connection with someone that you will really never talk to and I don’t think I’m ok with acknowladging that people who I will never know have changed my life uin some meaningful way. It’s like liking a girl that you know can’t like you back. . Mayvbe it’s an intellectual inferiority complex. The fact that this feeling relates to some degree to the subject matter of your film can’t be coincidental. I don’t actually know that your film changed me, except in the sense that I just said: kind of threw my own lonliness in my face. I want to thank you for making it in any case, if you’d like to talk to me e-mail me airwalker-@hotmail.com

I wish you all the luck in the world with paying back your credit card debt, and a feeling of acheivement for making such a great piece of work. I was touched by the way you could just sit and talk to each other through means of paper, I wish everything was as easy as that haha! Anyway, thankyou for a well enjoyed 70 or so minutes.

I was brought to tears. Movie was completely different than what I thought. Today is my 21st birthday and I didnt really do anything so I looked around on ourstage.com and decided to see what the prizes were for this months winnings. It said a copy of “Four Eyed Monsters” I was wondering what it was so i clicked it. I then told myself “oh its one of ‘these’ types of films…” so I clicked the play button and was instantly pulled in. Ive gone to art schools my entire life and to me Film majors were kind of weird and they did weird things. But as an animation major I found myself ot grow a lil bit and realize that I might like different stuff then when I was a kid. So I started trying any and everything and this film is one of them. So Id like to say to you thanks! Hope everything goes well with your debt and cant wait for the next big project! Hope it lands you in an even bigger mess this time ^_^.

This film came at a time in my life where I was debating whether or not to continue my eduacation in film school or switching to a buisness degree. I know they’re polar opposites but I was just losing faith in film. This definantly affirmed my faith in not only film but people. I know it sounds like a lot from just 70 min. of a Youtube size video; but it is what it is. Thank you.

Some films set out to take an issue and highlight it. Some films attempt to play with your preconceived notions of love, happiness, fear, or doubt. Still others try to evoke some new thought in the viewer, to whatever effect it may have. None of the films I have ever watched managed to actually capture the very nature of what it is that connects us, or rather keeps us apart, in the modern world so successfully. I’m glad I stayed awake long enough to find it!

After watching this movie it made me start to think about why being in a relationship seems so difficult. They say communication is the key but then again what exactly should we be communicating in the first place? I live in Thailand, moved here about a year ago (had lived in England since I was born before moving to Thailand), I am currently learning Thai and thats just go to be another barrier for communication I think. I love your movie and had been following the podcasts intently. Actually I was quite pissed that the movie was on youtube as Thailand a few months back banned youtube from being viewed here!(some political issues). So when I thought I’d check you out on myspace I realised hooray! The movie is on here too! I was patient and let it load, my internet sucks at my university so believe me I was patient.
All in all, I really did love this. But I can’t help but be curious of how the story continues, please don’t keep us waiting toooo long, but rest up first!

“amateurs ” is correct. all of you. i feel tricked after two hours of waiting for a point. which is directly reflected again in the presentation of episode 9 … oh wait. there IS no episode 9. did you take cliffhanger class a bit too seriously?

brilliant of you to flake out on the release print sf interview as well. respect you a lot (professionally) for that. all this despite an endless amount of support and candy-coating from your fans. makes an independent filmmaker frustrated that you’ve squandered the opportunity to pieces and turned terrible reality television into breath taking artwork, then back to reality television again.

i do, however, wish you good luck (sincerely) should you ever decide to actually commit as opposed to hiding behind the cushion of the sleepless nights that EVERY filmmaker endures.

Hi!

I’m from Brazil, i just watched the movie now, and that’s was the first internet movie that i have seen completely.
Let me tell why, this movie is so brilliant and well done compared to others movies around the internet.
The photography looks so nicely varied and combined and that’s fit so well in the film.
You did a extremely well done film, the beggining, middle and the ending of the history is so cool, bringing the viewers emotions every time.
I do small films here with my super8 and minidv cameras and your film was inspiring to me, like your perseverance to release the film, do all that work, believing in the project… that’s real filmmaking.

I just have to say that after watching the film and the mini episodes it made me feel that with enough hard work
and dedication that anything is possible. The truths in this film really touched me in a way that I have never
felt before and now I think I can actually get my book started and my own film done.

Good work!!!

Wow. Well I just stumbled upon your film on someone’s page on Myspace. I clicked on it and something told me to watch it. This film was unique and crazy! The beginning of the film captured me by the way you make everyone see we are all the same and we all want someone else in our life to love. Made me want to do my life’s goals. It made me want to love my girlfriend more and appreciate her for what we both are. I want to tell everyone about this film now.
Excellent job.

Last night my boyfriend had to leave his house to call me because he choses to be stepped on and avoid arguments. He’s not comfortable talking to me or anyone else for that matter if he’s in the presence of his family.
To change the subject of this matter in question of having to leave your own home in the middle of the night just to talk to someone, he told me about Susan and Erin and their Four Eyed Monster. He described your podcasts to a T. And insisted that he wanted to watch your movie with me.
I immediately refused only because of his description which made you guys come off as poor souls who struggled so bad to make a movie and suckered in people to pay it off for you.
When i explained these feelings to him, he decided that he was wrong and that he had perhaps not properly described your journey through your podcasts to me properly.

So here I am despite my initial refusal to participate in this, willing to give the benifit of doubt.
Unfortunately I managed to endure the first 4 episodes of your podcasts, and proceeded to skip through the longest 70 minutes ever.

Then I even took the time to read each and every single comment left here on your site by your fans, and it’s struck me odd that only one person had a slightly negative response. Robert.

I love that you both are artists of true and deep nature. It’s freeing to see people go all out when they truly believe.
But i find it terribly sad that you’d go out of your way to make this independant movie which is not supposed to be about the money and fame, and yet call people out to pay off your debt for something you chose to do. Where’s the honesty there?
Now don’t get me wrong, helping hands are always welcome in any situation at any given time… but when you make people believe that you’ve had to endure such terrible things and have sleepless nights and convince them that you’ve truly suffered to make this project come to life… You’re both young, you have the world at your feet, you can do what you want and not worry about what tomorrow brings.

People all around you in this crazy godforsaken world we live in die everyday. They endure torture and struggles you could not even begin to imagine. They go hungry for days, weeks, months. They don’t sleep from fear of dying.

Your idea of love is beautiful, naive and eye opening, but oh so tainted.

It’s like the people who made you believe they were helping you, and then came back for their piece of the pie, their credit or money… it broke you two down. Don’t do what they did to you to the public.

Next time around go all out, but at least be true to what you stand for, don’t be a trader, don’t be a sell-out. Come clean.

But i would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making people believe.
Everything is possible.

I’ve just watched your movie in Youtube and I decided to come here and congratulate both of you for this very hard working project; I’m sure you’re had quite dificulties in shoting this but compensation the result is awesomely pleasent.
The way you’ve met (if it’s true what the movie shows) was more than fun and interesting.!
I agree with some woman up there that said you’re strangely beautiful besides such a cute couple too.
I hope all the best.

I feel like you’ve managed to show a phase of a gramophone needle being stuck at a record..a phase I’ve been through that really isn’t repetitive but a strange, unfocussed existence, and full of seemingly life-changing revelations..

Don’t know if that made sense to you, but I liked the movie.

Susan and Arin,

FEM is truly a work of art. Also, Susan’s artwork within the film is not only eye catching but somehow seems to naturally compliment Arin’s film making style, while still being separate, and valid in its own right. (I’m going to do a bit of searching on the web,because I’m hoping more of Susan’s work is posted somewhere?).

I know both of you have probably heard this before, but this film really captured so many things about relationships that are difficult to put into words: Base lust mixing with fears of disappointment, uncomfortable small talk, piqued interest followed by a jolt of connection, and that very human “wanting” of deep emotional contact with someone (but not just anyone). Even with all that wanting, I think most of us are afraid of being disappointed when we finally do start to know someone, but I think we are also afraid of being the disappointment. To me, your film touched on all of those issues by showing 2 genuine people trying to work their way through and around them in a unique way. I understand that this film is based on your own relationship? Two artist’s finding their Muse in each other? The whole movie seemed to depict the development of a love so genuine, imperfect, and beautiful that I’d have to be made of ice to not be moved by the concept alone (the framing, camera work, etc elevate this movie to the truly and unquestionably professional).

Kudos, Kudos, Kudos! I’ve never felt so moved by a film that I bought the T-shirt, but I had to get yours. Thanks for making this film.

Guys,

Saw you at Power to the Pixel – and saw you in Berlin earlier in the year. I’m 100% behind the whole film2.0 movement and good luck with your film efforts. Have blogged about and it linked etc obviously. And watched it naturally!!!

I hope you get a chance to check out my own project which is in a similar style. Slightly different in that we are selling advert slots within the film so as to raise some cash upfront. We can probably make a go of this as we have more film making background that you did at the start of your project – eg. I’m a BAFTA nominated writer.

But that’s enough chat – see for yourself.

It’s a modern love story.

hey guys…
This letter comes straight from India…just finished seeing your movie… also registered on Spout. I would say..its an amazing movie…i would say a really a brave effort…and all sorts of blah blah blah.. but then every one must have already told you that.. i just wanna say..that you guys inspire!the movie stands..the story stands.. but what really stands out the most is the way you went about it… the courage you showd in brining together this proj. You know whats that one element which really makes a movie special .. its sheer Magic… which comes thru madness, sheer insanity. Thats what came across when i saw your movie. Many of us In india or worldwide..are too scared to take that final plunge.. we are too scared to leave the comfort of our homes…our friends..the society which rules us and venture out in the open..to be ourself.. to do what we want to do…but you did…and thats why i say you INSPIRE!! i too am a neuve film maker…and have been edgy of late…cribbing..that though i know my stories are good.. though i believe in them.. no one is willing to finance them. But now i will… go ahead and make it..come what may.
Thank you so much guys…for this lovely movie..and making us lost youngsters understand.. if we really want something..all we need to do is …venture out…sometimes alone…and we might just find it.
Thank you…and wish you guys all the luck

Thank you OH SO MUCH !

This baby of yours, this movie, this vibrant piece of life is a real jewel ! Thank you so much for putting all your efforts in sharing it : this way I *accidentally* got to see it on the Net. Now, what is it about these 71 minutes that moves one so much ? Perhaps the opportunity to see birth closely, slowly, in all its mistery – the birth of a four eyed, one beating heart monster – the birth of an artist-seeker (actually, two for the price of one) – the birh of a wholly new and captivating movie style.

I’m giving your DVD a flight to France ! And recommending this trip around deep links and winged images to everybody I know. And sticking “illegal” ads. Perhaps even a nice poster to close my sleepy eyes on ?
Getting cool projects to work definitely is a hard part : I’ll try and help you modestly, and wish you lots of courage and warmth !

THANK YOU again, you bunch of dream-makers,

IÃ‚Â´m from Mexico City and I discovered your film like 5 days ago. Since that day iÃ‚Â´ve been sending mails to all my friends and customers around the world telling them about you guys. The film is breathtaking. I broke up with my boyfriend a weak ago, so you can imagine how awful iÃ‚Â´ve benn feeling these days, but you helped me to move on with my life. You gave me hope to keep searching for the love of my life, i know he is somewhere, he doesnÃ‚Â´t have to be perfect for others, just for me… only for me.. Hugs and kisses since Mexico, your are welcome here and hope that someday you be able to come here to show my people what great art and true love are…
Take care..

I was on Stage 6 today looking around, and saw this and was a little confused at first. But after reading a bit about it and what not, I decided to watch it, and I am so glad I did. I just want you two to know, that you have put something together, that is just absolutely amazing, and I will be getting a bunch of my friends to watch it too.
