I have to take issue with
Jenn's post about
Four Eyed Monsters. I saw this film at the Waterfront Film Festival and thought it was brilliant.
Granted, it gets bogged down at times. The story speeds up and halts without any sense of the rhythm they later developed in their
podcasts (don't miss those). But the moments that are brilliant are really brilliant and a great ending can save almost any film. It does with
Four Eyed Monsters and Susan and Arin manage to pull of something I've never experienced. In a film all about intimacy, they somehow manage to bring the audience into intimacy with themselves. I wish I could describe it better but I can't. It's just remarkable.
I once described this film as being four incredible short films squashed together. Any one short film would have made a great calling card for Susan and Arin. But they didn't want a short film. They went for the whole enchilada. They flew really high and got their wings singed a bit, but the heights they reach are glorious to watch.
Incidentally, you can petition Susan and Arin to have a screening of this film in your town.
