FROM HERE TO AWESOME

The kids are alright

The crew is back from SXSW. Big ups to all that helped to make FHTA such a success in Austin. The roundtables and party were a blast. Special thanks to bside, indiegogo and tubemogul for lending a hand with the events.

Mike Hedge and Mike Ambs documented the whole trip - stills, motion and audio.

In other news we are so close to finally having the film pages up and running. We’ve been working hard and thanks to some amazing volunteers (David, Shawn, and Chris) who have been coding like crazy we’re going to have an awesome foundation for not only the festival but the larger open source project that we are building. FHTA is intended to be an open discovery and distribution project that helps to provide tools and opportunities to filmmakers to reach global audiences. We’ve received over 600 filmmaker registrations and we’re hoping that translates into a nice number of submission videos. There has been a back log on the film pages and we’ll be taking them live in a matter of days. It is important to note that only completed submitted films - meaning films that have filled out all their forms etc - will receive film pages so if you have questions or need assistance with completing your submission please drop us an email.
