Movie: WOM Wins 'Monsters' Distribution
In a twist of irony, an independent film with few words has found its way into 18 film festivals worldwide thanks entirely to WOM. Susan Buice of Framingham, Mass., and her boyfriend, Arin Crumley, created "Four Eyed Monsters" to retell the origin of their relationship, which began in 2002 as an experiment between strangers in which they met and -- for four months -- communicated exclusively through "artistic means," including videos, emails and written notes. They marketed the film via a website, MySpace page, YouTube clips and behind-the-scenes podcasts. Truly innovative, however, was their push to have fans request that their local theaters show the film. Their website chronicles fan requests, which have successfully put the film at theaters in six cities nationwide.
