Four Eyed Monsters is an American television, podcast and web series, which was promoted on Myspace.com and aired on IFC and IFC.com in the United States.
Four Eyed Monsters explores the creation of the feature film Four Eyed Monsters, created by Arin Crumley and Susan Buice. The film is a recreation of their "hip, uber-modern" love story, in which the two started dating with one stipulation: They would never speak directly to each other. Arin and Susan only communicated through notes, Myspace, artistic creations, and sexual exploration.[1]
The podcast is a reflection and documentation of the creation process for the feature film, including their acceptance into the Slamdance Film Festival as well as their fight to find love.[2][3]
The show was produced and filmed in New York City and created by Arin Crumley and Susan Buice.
