Here’s an announcement from the Workbook Project about a new distribution project – get in touch with them directly to hear more:

We’re pleased to announce a new discovery and distribution project as an extension of the Workbook. FROM HERE TO AWESOME, is a discovery and distribution festival that enables filmmakers to reach global audiences while retaining their rights. Filmmakers will have a variety of distribution opportunities at their disposal with a direct return of revenue to them.There are no traditional programmers or gatekeepers. The audience will program the festival based on ratings, volume of comments and the number of times a project is favorited. The festival will showcase 10 shorts, 10 features and 10 virtual panels.

We DO NOT charge any submission fees or sales fees. FROM HERE TO AWESOME offers filmmakers a variety direct distribution outlets such as; theaters, living rooms, online outlets, mobile and live events. All transactions are handled directly by the filmmaker and the outlet.

Festival partners include youTube, myspace, IFP / filmmaker magazine, heretic films, Vudu, mobmov, indieflix, breakthrough distribution, Wonderland and MANY MORE.

The overall concept is to assist with discovery of films by audiences and to provide real distribution options that lead to some type of finical return to the filmmaker.
