Film Description:
"They have four eyes, two mouths, eight limbs that wrap around themselves. It’s disgusting!" Arin says, as we see images of couples throughout New York City. "But I can’t help but envy them."
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 to not 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.

Episode 9, we are working on it, it's coming soon. Other then promoting the cinema village screening and getting request numbers up it's all we are doing, so actually the more support we get from people on those things, the more time we have to edit. So get the word out and if you plan to come to a screening at cinema village with people please RSVP and let us know how many so we can gauge how well the grass roots effort is going.
Thanks big time to all the supporters!

Such a rarity; the film and the podcasts are equally wonderful and independent artworks in their own right.

Podcasts are enough to give this five stars. Anyone or anything that open and honest and all around "neat" is worth my money and/or time.

The other night i saw part 4. it was the first on that i have even. it touched me so that i craved the completion of the story. As of now i still have only seen part 4 althought i think that i have a good idea on how it started. i've been trin to think of the words to express how power full this film is, at least to me. The way the story touches viewers......i don't know anywords that can begin to even sum that up.......i wish you the BEST of luck with this and the rest who helped bring this to life.......can't wait to see what happends next+

Four Eyed Monsters is cool. The newest Episode made me sad, and reflective. How many self destructive tendencies do we all exhibit, perhaps without knowing?
