Second Life

Sundance Channel is pleased to announce a gala event to celebrate the opening of its new screening room, Studio 4A. The Second Life premiere of the award-winning independent film, "Four Eyed Monsters," followed by a live Q&A session with film creators Arin Crumley and Susan Buice plus after party.

"Four Eyed Monsters" is the brainchild of two tenacious filmmakers, Arin Crumley and Susan Buice. They have taken guerilla film promotion to a new level and have organized a grassroots effort through digital means to get their film into the public eye through podcasts, custom Google maps and now Second Life.

Four Eyed Monsters

Arin is a wannabe filmmaker and highly inexperienced with love, despite the fact that he spends most of his time editing wedding videos. In one of the most populous cities in the world, he is alone and tormented by the beautiful women he sees everywhere. He turns to the Internet.

Susan is an art school graduate working as a waitress and suffering from a lack of inspiration. She receives a message from Arin, but since she's tired of dating, especially online, she suggests that he should just stop by her work.

Arin is too shy to introduce himself. So instead, he follows her home without her knowing and emails her pictures of her mundane daily trudge. She is intrigued.

They decide to meet up, but in an attempt to keep their interaction interesting, they make a pact not to speak to one another. As their romance develops, they only write, draw, email, text, have sex, instant message, and make videos for each other. No talking.

Susan's creative clouds begin to lift, and Arin's dry spell has ended. Unfortunately, a new world of more complicated problems is discovered, and they are forced to deal with intimacy as they meld together and create a monster.
