Body: UPDATE: Because of a change in availability, Susan & Arin will be taking questions through July and August 2008 This discussion is open to whomever would like to ask Arin and Susan questions about Four Eyed Monsters (if you want to catch up, buy the DVD from Borders Books or watch the video podcasts). Arin and Susan have total discretion over which questions they choose to answer, and will be checking into this discussion frequently thru June and July. By way of a brief introduction (Arin & Susan feel free to make any corrections), Arin Crumley and Susan Buice made the movie Four Eyed Monsters--an autobiographical story about how they fell in love, unlocked each other's creativity and began, well, making Four Eyed Monsters--in 2004. It premiered at the Slamdance Film Festival in 2005 and, although loved by festival audiences, it failed to get traditional distribution. In November 2005, they launched a video podcast on iTunes the same day the video iPod launched (brilliant). Episodes 1-8 are about the tumultuous making the movie and were Internet sensations. Along the way Arin, Susan and an army of supporters (special nod to Brian Chirls) pioneered self-distribution and marketing with grassroots screenings of the movie, selling DVDs and being the first feature film to debut on YouTube (self-indulgent nod to your sponsor, Spout), among a slew of other efforts. Episodes 9-13 of the Four Eyed Monsters video podcast premiered in May 2008. They are a jarringly intimate conclusion to Arin and Susan's relationship and Four Eyed Monsters, a title that no longer represents a movie but--for lack of a better term--an experience. One that, for many, represents a major landmark in the potential of filmmaking in the Digital Age. I'll get things kicked off here with some questions that have been on my mind:1) This may be impossible, but could you try to describe what your lives might look like had you premiered your movie in 2005, sold it for $100,000 to a distributor, and gone back to NY with a fat check. I guess I'm looking for what would be better and what would be worse?2) Susan, in episode 12 you described you and Arin as "the unit," which I think meant your solidarity in making Four Eyed Monsters happen. But on a personal level you wanted to be out of your commitment to Arin. In trying to gain control over your own identity, you say the only thing you had control over was sex. Stripping, seeing other men, possibly even withholding sex from Arin--were your only ways to escape the unit. Why is that?3) Arin, the movie involves a lot of re-creations of real events, but at some point you started whipping out a camera to film actual conversations. When did you decide to do that? And, with the recent episodes, what was it like using "really" real footage--particularly of Susan telling you she's lost feelings for you and wants to be with other men--versus footage based on something real?4) Now that the end is on the horizon for Four Eyed Monsters, will you two still be partners in your next project? Or--to use a music industry term--are we going to see "solo albums" coming out?

Body: This means that you can now watch our entire film on our MySpace profile. Which is kinda trippy cause of the influence that myspace has had over the film it's self.At slamdance in january of 2005 the first public screening of an early cut of our film actually had "meetster.net" as the site where susan and I met. In reality it was nerve.com on susan's side and Time Out New York on my side. But we wanted to do something about all the people online trying to meet other people and having very specific things they are looking for so we had a 3 minute montage of something like 25 different people talking about what they are looking for in a relationship. And this was supposed to be the "online people" looking for love. Also we wanted an internet component to the film and thought maybe meetster.net would be a site we could build and have all of these online video clips from singles. But after showing the film that way for a few months we decided that montage didn't completely work and snipped it out. Also we decided that the story of making the film was better online video compenent to the film then these fake singles. Then in the summer of 2005 we started to get pumped about MySpace and were talking about it alot with Paul from spout.com when we were at the Waterfront film festival as well as Joe Swanberg when we were hanging out at the Chicago underground film festival. This was the time when you realized all at once that everyone you know was getting a myspace profile. So we decided around that time to actually shrink the people talking to the lens down so they were in boxes just like you see when you have myspace search results. And now, everyone sees our intro to the film and thinks, "MySpace" even though the word "MySpace" never appears in the film. Also we kept in the scene towards the end that we refer to as the "distressed singles" scene and decided to shrink those down ass well. Not sure what the meaning of that scene is anymore, it used to be sort of the "character" of all of the online daters having their character arc but now there is just the tiny bit of them at the start and then that scene. But some how with out that scene there the flow just wasn't right and In my abstract mind it's almost kinda saying, "well it's not working out, maybe the girl is crazy, or broken, but what are you going to do, go back to myspace and find other crazy and broken people?" But I don't expect people to actually have that dialog as they watch, it's just sort of what I think when I see it. So anyway, long story short, it seemed appropriate that the film be put on MySpace. You can watch it on our films profile here: http://myspace.com/foureyedmonsters The intro is different, it actually shows us getting the first spout check and cutting up 3 credit cards. So keep spreading the word to get people to join spout.com/foureyedmonstersWho knows, maybe spout.com will reach some kind of critical mass at some point that seems like everyone is on here discussing and discovering films. That would be a bright day for indie film, thats for sure.

Body: I was having a conversation with my wife about Four Eyed Monsters a couple days ago and I think the reason we fell in love with the movie, the podcast, the mythos of it all is that we actually had a similar experience. We were young, in love, and everything felt done and played out. We wanted to forge "our own reality" and started writing notes to each other, drawing cartoons, sharing our experience non-verbally. I think that part of this can come with immaturity, always wanting to do things counter to social norms. But it also is something that was definitely made more powerful because of our intense connection to each other. Communicating creatively made our relationship grow even faster. Hey, look at us now, almost 10 years later... married, house, 2 cats, and working at the same place. I was wondering if other Spouters had a similar experience or could share their own experience with strong relationships and bonding moments.Thanks, V

Body: There's a young man in the UK with a knack for conversions who left this hysterical video reply about Four Eyed Monsters.The central question, did Susan and Arin really rack up $100K in debt?Yes.- Three years of paying NY living expenses, but not working paying jobs - A feature length movie- A series of video podcasts- Pioneering self-distribution software for theatrical screenings- Winning awards "valued" at $X, but with little to no cash value- Countless hours of grassroots promotion and networking- Promising payment to people who helped along the way All that adds up to the tidy sum of $100,000 and change.How did Spout get involved? I met Arin at a film festival two years ago and, like so many people since then, instantly saw the potential of what they're doing. When Arin said they were posting the feature-length movie on YouTube and asked if we were interested in being the presenting sponsor, I actually responded with "what if we give you guys $1 for anybody who signs up at spout.com/foureyedmonsters?"We want to grow a community and see another movie by these two. They want to get out of debt and make more films. The math works.

I've always been one of those people who's been all snotty about watching stuff on my computer, like "Well, that little window is okay for trailers or shorts, but a REAL movie needs to be seen on a REAL screen." 30 minutes into watching FEM on YouTube, I'm starting to think that's all bullshit. First of all, the picture and sound quality are totally not at all as bad as I thought they would be. I think I actually forgot that I was watching a movie on my computer until I got an instant message in the middle of it.
