“I cannot help but want to know the fine print. Are the filmmakers [Susan Buice & Arin Crumley] who they say they are? Are they truly at risk financially? How did they hook up with Spout.com?” - John Bell

A little background on our Four Eyed Monsters, a buck for Susan & Arin promotion.

I met Susan and Arin at the Waterfront Film Festival in 2005. I knew right away they had something special going on and wanted to work with them again. When Arin approached me a couple weeks ago saying they were in the works with YouTube to put Four Eyed Monsters, the feature up for free, we asked ourselves a question, “Is their a way we can grow community around this movie and help fund these filmmakers?”

That’s when we came up with the buck for Susan & Arin idea. That’s the grand-master scheme behind it. Yes, Susan & Arin are truly in debt up to their eyeballs. I talked to Arin today and he admitted they have $148 in the bank and owe money to a lot of people who helped them along the way. Neither of them has worked on anything but this feature film in the past three years and they’ve yet to turn all the social currency they’ve built into monetary currency. But we want to help them do that.
