Short Synopsis:

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. 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".

Long Synopsis:


Arin is wedding videographer, in his spare time he makes video art and is hounded by his girl-crazy roommate who can't understand why Arin is not interested in picking up various girls at bars. Arin's shyness towards dating leads him to the wide world of online dating. Arin peruses Meetser.com, uploads his pictures and introduces himself to hundreds of women without any response. He finally gets a hit.

Susan is a waitress at a trendy restaurant; she works long hours dealing with obnoxious customers. Susan's art and creativity suffers due to her exhaustion and when she finally arrives home she only has enough energy to sleep and check her Meester.com inbox.

Afraid of turning into a couple who has meaningless conversations and talk in order to fill air space, Arin presents Susan with the idea of using a notepad to convey conversation and feelings, Arin believes that this will cure all fears he has of entering into a world of mundane relationships.

The key to this film is the subtlety of both deadpan humor and the personal growth that both Arin and Susan need to undergo in order to have a relationship with one another. They represent an age where young people move to big cities and find the biggest challenge of being surrounded by millions of people is finding companionship, which is why internet dating has become so effective in a computer oriented generation. Crumley and Buice's first film, Four Eyed Monsters is a modern romantic tale about the journey we must take when trying to figure out what it's all about.
