[edit] Story

A shy videographer (Arin) and an uninspired artist working as a waitress (Susan) meet on the internet and spark a relationship. Fed up with the usually dating game, the two decide to not communicate verbally, thus eliminating the inanities of small talk. Instead they communicate through different artistic mediums.

[edit] Awards

Four Eyed Monsters has been in 18 film festivals in the US, Brazil and Germany from Slamdance to SXSW to Gen Art to Oldenberg, Germany. In 2005 it won the special audience award at SXSW, best new directors award at Brooklyn International, a special teenage jury awarded our film with a jury prize at Newport International and we received an honorable mention from Sidewalk Film Festival in Alabama.

[edit] Reviews

Film Threat - “powered with raw honesty and coated with wild imagination” Variety - “deliberately smudges the line between non-fiction and invention” Boston Phoenix - “an autobiographical fictional piece about the awkward, tenuous, monumentally inarticulate courtship of the mid-20s filmmakers”
