Re-fill, Re-load, Re-boot
I'm craving inspiration lately and not finding it anywhere. Actually - not totally true.
I read a story in the latest Fast Company magazine titled Revenge of the Nerds - it's about Arin Crumley and Susan Buice - a couple of 20 something art students who found each other through online dating in New York and decided to turn their courtship into an art project that ultimately led to a feature length film "Four Eyed Monsters". (BTW - if you need an access code to get to the story it's FCJULDSGN)
The mag article is about these filmakers as example of a power shift away from mass media to individual artists. It's a good story.
But more inspirational to me is the actual project these guys created and how they are getting people to see it. i watched all 7 video podcasts they uploaded about the making of the film - it's facinating. I missed the screening here in my hometown (we have a terrific art house theater called the Rafael where they showed Four Eyed Monsters for 1 day. Yesterday. I just learned about the film last night. Oh well
Check out the movie website - give the video podcasts a view (they range from 4-10 minutes each)
Here's the first video podcast episode.
