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. The film won the Sundance Channel Audience Award and was nominated for two Independent Spirit Awards. Millions of viewers have engaged across multiple mediums with the project from podcasting, to MySpace to YouTube, facebook & twitter. The community around the film has participated in DIY theatrical screenings around the world and the audience has created material that has been put back into the project. The phenomenon of Four Eyed Monsters has also attracted deals to air the film on IFC TV and the Super Channel as well as other foreign distribution interest.

Continuing his exploration into new media, Arin also co-founded a research and development project called From Here to Awesome that has been uniting filmmakers to create the future models of collaboration, funding, production and distribution. All of this has lead to the development of many new films including one that was just shot out in the desert at burning man and is set for release in 2010.  Keep track of all Arin’s projects and ideas on his blog at arincrumley.com
