Arin Crumley

Today The Wall Street Journal lists Arin among the top 20 new media moguls, and applauds the co-creation of the popular independent film and online video series, Four Eyed Monsters. In late 2002, Arin met his future co-director and collaborator, Susan Buice, beginning a relationship that evolved into the creation of Four Eyed Monsters. The project has become a cult phenomenon. To date, the video podcast has received over two million views and cinemas across America have booked the film due to its online fan-base. The film was nominated for two Independent Spirit Awards and, in June 2007, became the first feature film to be posted in its entirety on YouTube. Four Eyed Monsters has since been licensed to IFC TV to air on their channel and be sold in iTunes. A new DVD containing 5 brand new episodes has been released in the UK and Canada where Super Channel is also airing the film.

Shooting has just taken place at Burning Man 2008 on a new feature film called As The Dust Settles and is currently in post production

Arin is also co-founder of a research and development project called From Here to Awesome which has been uniting filmmakers to create the future models of funding, distribution, and collaboration. Keep track of all of his new projects and ideas on his blog at arincrumley.com.
