We are thrilled to announce that our short-to-feature, “Soledad Is Gone Forever,” has been selected to be showcased in the From Here To Awesome Film Festival. The FHTA selection process narrowed down from over one hundred entries 10 shorts and 10 features based on audience demand. Thanks to to all the people who voted for our film!

This amazing opportunity comes bundled with a promising DIY distribution strategy which will enable us to continue building an audience around our project and soon-to-be-feature-length film. The strategy includes setting up filmmakers with deals to showcase films via international theatrical screenings, and through video on demand outlets including Amazon Unbox, Vudu, Netflix, Vuze, Hulu, Joost, Indie Flix, Heretic Films, and Caachi.

We are already capitalizing on the DIY philosophy that the festival founders are spearheading, with filmmakers embracing this open source social experiment to create a sustainable future for our projects. Through the FHTA showcase we are finding new ways to communicate with online audiences. The result is quite fascinating:  people want to see our films in all over the world. In fact,  festival programmers have been asking me latelyto screen our film in Italy, Canada, Peru, Chile and Egypt.

This is an exciting time for independent filmmaking and I hope you come and join us on July 26th for the official FHTA festival kick off in L.A.  A fantastic line-up of speakers will share thoughts on new ways of making media.

See you there!
