Watch Four Eyed Monsters Online — One Week Only

Jean

We met online, started a relationship & turned our lives into this project.

I found this video interesting, not only because the filmmakers made their entire film available online for free, but because they did so in order to try pay off their debt. And they’re using YouTube to send viewers over to sites that might actually make them some money. Their plea is at the beginning.

I went to a screening of Four-Eyed Monsters at the IFC Center last winter where the filmmakers did a Q&A. Their distribution story and the film itself really do capture what it means to be a media artist in 2007. It’s all very meta. I highly recommend watching their video podcasts in which they chronicle the trials and tribulations of getting their film to audiences. Also, they live in my neighborhood in Brooklyn (Bushwick) and I see them on the streets occassionally. Yay Bushwick video artists!

I have been a fan of theirs for a while. I am so impressed by their ability to build an audience for their work.
