This indie movie is showing in San Francisco every Thursday this month. My co-worker’s brother is one of the co-writer/co-director/co-producers and a character in the film. Here’s the story behind Four Eyed Monsters from their website:

Arin and Susan both live in New York. Arin works from home with his wedding videography business documenting other people’s love. Susan is a waitress at an all-night trendy diner where she spends her Saturday nights serving chocolate martinis to women on diets wishing she’d get her artistic career in order. Both live lonely lives in one of the most populous cities in the world until they find each other online and begin their alternative courtship. Wanting to avoid a mundane date they decide to only communicate through artistic mediums and have no verbal communication while they work through the start up phase of their relationship. Communicating via note pads, emails and video cameras the question begins to arise, is their relationship just an artistic experiment or will they give into being a couple and become a living breathing “four eyed monster”.

But wait, there’s more!

Four Eyed Monsters has been in 18 film festivals in the US, Brazil and Germany from Slamdance to SXSW to Gen Art to Oldenberg Germany. In 2005 it won the special audience award at SXSW, best new directors award at Brooklyn International, a special teenage jury awarded our film with a jury prize at Newport International and we received an honorable mention from Sidewalk Film Festival in Alabama.
