On May 15th, Speakeasy Cinema will have two guests, director-producer-actors Susan Buice and Arin Crumley, to present a secret film of their choosing followed by a discussion of the film that will bring about a greater appreciation of cinema and break the fourth wall. As always, you will have to be there to find out what the surprise film is....

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Susan Buice and Arin Crumley independently produced FOUR EYED MONSTERS - a film which chronicles the transformation of their own online romance into a real one. When they began their relationship, they swore to only communicate through artistic mediums in a hope to have a more hightened sense of communication. They wrote notes, drew pictures and created videos for each other, but never actually spoke in person for 4 months. FOUR EYED MONSTERS presents a very personal and an internal perspective of real life merged with fiction. Since it's debut at Slamdance 2005, F.E.M. has garnered praise from every corner of the film industry and festival circuit. It is set for release this summer and to find out more, check out Susan and Arin's very cool website http://www.foureyedmonsters.com

Speakeasy Cinema has a few rules:
1) our guests bring a film and no one one knows what it is until the lights dim
2) the film can't be a film the guests worked on, only a film they love or hate, think is important, inspiring and want to talk about
3) after the film, the audiences and the filmmakers share their experiences watching the film. We talk about ART.
4) industry talk is verboten!
5) we can drink in this theater, so please bring a bottle to share with your friends and the people around you! (We provide the corkscrew and the glasses)
6) we do it the third Monday of every month
