Audiences are finding films “Awesome”

April 27th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in update

Well the entries are all in and audiences have started to select the projects that they think are “Awesome.” This process will run for the next 3 weeks at which point a number of films will emerge as the contenders for the FHTA showcase. These films will then go through a vetting process to ensure that they can be cleared for distribution meaning that the rights reside with the filmmaker and that they have the proper talent releases, music clearance and most importantly that they own the film. If you have questions on what types of clearance are needed please contact us at info @ fromheretoawesome.com

Later this week we will make some announcements about new events, outlets and partners so stay tuned. In the meantime make sure you checkout the FHTA submission vids.

Thanks for your continued support.

The site goes live

April 11th, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in update

After a number of very long days and nights we’ve gotten the new version of FHTA live. We’re still working out some things but you can watch films and determine which films you think seem “awesome” Check it out and let us know if you have suggestions, comments or thoughts on how to make FHTA better.

FINAL DEADLINE APRIL 14th - four days and counting!
Four days and counting until the final submission deadline. And for all those who have been emailing with various deadline questions this is it and there will be no additional extensions. So pick up those cameras and shoot an intro for your submission video. Those that take the time to create submission videos will not only have a great promotional piece for their work (see how the Auteur’s submission vid was included in a story about the film playing Tribeca next month) but videos with introductions from the filmmakers and that follow these guidelines will receive more value per “this film seems awesome” selection by an audience member. Special note films that create placeholder film pages will not be included if the submission videos are not uploaded by the 14th.

Final Extension - April 14th

April 2nd, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in update

Due to a large number of requests from filmmakers, we’ll be extending the deadline to April 14th. So for those that had technical issues, needed more time, or are just now finding out about FHTA - you have until April 14th. This will be the final deadline. If you have questions or need assistance please let us know.

The website is still scheduled for an April 7th launch and all the submissions are now being turned into new film pages so if you’ve gotten your submission in we’ll be creating your page in the order that it was received.  If you didn’t respond to the email about sending in your film details that we sent out or if you didn’t receive one drop us a line and we’ll resend it.
