DIY DISTRIBUTION: Coming Soon Via The Filmmakers..."Four Eyed Monsters" and "Head Trauma"

One year after implementing an ambitious plan to attract distributor interest in their first feature film, "Four Eyed Monsters," filmmakers Susan Buice and Arin Crumley are putting the final touches on a DIY (Do It Yourself) release for the film that will kick-off early next month. They are among a growing roster of filmmakers, often frustrated by increasingly wary distribution companies, bypassing the traditional system and taking matters into their own hands. Similarly, filmmaker Lance Weiler, who achieved recognition when pursuing a DIY release of "The Last Broadcast" in the late '90s, is taking "Head Trauma", his new movie, to theaters on his own starting this week followed by a quick DVD release next month. Both movies will participate in the upcoming Independent Film Week's new DIY "Do It Yourself" Indie Screening Series in New York City.
