The Story of Stuff http://www.storyofstuff.com
will take you on a provocative tour of our
consumer-driven culture — from resource
extraction to iPod incineration — exposing the
real costs of our use-it and lose-it approach to
stuff.
The movie is just the beginning of the story.

This talk has been evolving over the last year
since we began to give it and during that time
more things have happened including releasing the
film on YouTube for free with our
spout.com/foureyedmonsters 1 dollar per sign up
campaign. This talk details the creation of our
film through the audience building phase of
releasing the video podcast and then the
theatrical release, DVD release and free YouTube
release. We then talk about the doors this
process has opened up includinig an un-anounced
100K distribution deal to get our film and video
podcast on TV and get the DVD re-released and this
time be available in retail. Stay tuned at
www.foureyedmonsters.com for further developments
around that.
The audience had some good questions when we were
done and everyone we met that night at the
reception seemed very interested in what we had
accomplished and wanted to talk to us about their
projects. Unfortunately we can't watch everyones
film and give everyone advice and distribute other
peoples work. People have to look at what we've
done and what we've posted online and deduce from
all of that how we can help. We need to spend our
time making our own films.
I sometimes feel it's bad enough that we self
distributed our film instead of making more
episodes over the past year but it's even worse to
then spiral off into becoming a distributor when
really the more impactful thing I feel we have to
contribute to the world is our ideas in the form
of filmmaking and other creative projects that can
communicate and connect with people. The
mechanics of how we make that connection are
important but it's like getting too obsessed with
which camera and computer to buy if you get too
entrenched in this stuff.
So that is why our power to the pixel presentation
is the last time we are doing a talk until we have
some new content made. Unless someone is going to
pay some obscene amount of money we can use to
sync into our projects. But if you are doing a
conference and you want to talk about Four Eyed
Monsters, you can show our 12 minute distribution
story video which is still a work in progress so
re-download it just before you show it incase
there is a new eddition. Or you can download the
keynote or powerpoint presentation that we made
and give the case study presentation yourself.
And you can also put this video out in any edited
form or just embed it on your blog or whatever
you'd like. All he materials are there for you to
not have to do anything.
But again, in the interest of raising money, we
are available to be hired to do remote work. So
we can present the slide show virtually or simply
do a Q&A through live video conference after
someone else has presented the case study.
So thanks again Liz for having us be a part of
power to the pixel because it truly is the best
conference for us to have done our last talk at
for a while. Tags :foureyedmosnterscasestudyarincrumleysusanbuicedistributionselfDIYmediarevolutionpowertothepixel
The income distribution of the United States is
far more unequal than most people realize. In
fact it is so lopsided, it is hard to represent on
a single graph. For more see
