Amidst all the crazyness of Sundance, Golden Globes (even if it was a news conference), BAFTAs and Oscars, there's a new kind of film fest now launched from some of the coolest minds in film, distribution and open media

From Here To Awesome is billed as a 'discovery and distribution film festival' which sums it up pretty well. It's full of the DNA of the DIY filmmaking scene, and so unsurprisingly, it's about retaining the rights to your film when you enter it and then getting distributed on loads of different platforms - online, cinema, DVD, mobile, MP3 player and however else you choose to find your films.

It's really exciting - you get to create your own special page for your film, you can put it on loads of different places for maximum exposure (check out all those partners!) and then the best films in the mind of the audience will go forward to a special multi-platform showcase in April. It's all so ace and so it should be, coming from the brains behind The Workbook Project , Four Eyed Monsters and We Are The Strange

This is a collaborative indie film community at its very best, so we strongly and passionately encourage you to get involved and submit your film to it - let's get some UK and some docs representation in there!
