Hey Everyone,

FROM HERE to AWESOME is having a festival screening competition next Friday night in San Francisco.  Of the 12 Showcase features, the top 6 to get hits and comments on their Festival Promo video will compete that night, and the top 3 films will screen in their entirety.  I'd love to see DAMAGE up there on the big screen, so please, check out the San Francisco promo on the DAMAGE DONE movies page, and leave us some comments!  Thanks for your help!

Here's Arin's video from FHTA to explain a little more of what this competition is all about:

Hey Again --

Thanks to the guys at the FROM HERE TO AWESOME film festival, we've lined up a great promotional deal with OURSTAGE.COM -- for each person that clicks the Ourstage banner ad on either this Myspace page or the DAMAGE DONE website and registers on OURSTAGE.COM, we get $4.00 cash. 

A similar promotion by 4 EYED MONSTERS on SPOUT.com yeilded great results for that film last summer ( Which incidentally was done by Arin Crumley, one of the founders of FHTA) -- I was motivated to sign up so they could get $1.00 and even posted bulletins on Myspace to help spread the word because I beleive in the true independent spirit of filmmaking (and I ain't talkin no "Fox Searchlight" kinda "Independent"), so I hope you'll be moved the same way to help us now.

This is a great opportunity for us to raise some money to help continue promoting the film -- and maybe even make up for some of the massive amount of money that was put into making the film.  Independent filmmaking might be personally rewarding in an artistic sense, on the practical side, it's EXPENSIVE!

So please, take a minute or two to CLICK OUR AD,  and fill out the OURSTAGE regstration, it doesn't cost you anything to sign up -- there's a lot of cool music there, including Damage's own ZACHARIAH and the LOBOS RIDERS, so check it out.

Thanks for the support -- please, Sign Up!! http://www.damagedonemovie.com/

I'm back!  And I'm ecxited!!,

DAMAGE DONE is an official selection for the FROM HERE TO AWESOME discovery and distribution festival -- the announcement for the Festival came out today in the trades – better than some festival where you win an award and your movie screens once, this was a competition for distribution through a variety of networks including Amazon and Netflix -- this means the movie goes on sale on the 26^th of this month!  Tell everyone you know!  We'll also be getting screenings with the festival in some major cities as well, so I'll let you know when that happens.

Here's a little of what the festival is all about:

About FROM HERE TO AWESOME :: DISCOVERY AND DISTRIBUTION FEST
The first edition of FROM HERE TO AWESOME, an open-source discovery and
distribution film festival is coming to a theater, living room, computer,
and / or mobile device near you. The festival kicks off July 26th in Los
Angeles and rollouts out over a six-month period with stops in New York, San
Francisco, Boston and London. Filmmakers retain all the rights, see direct
revenue from each of the outlets and enjoy global audiences. The goal is to
create a direct connection between audience and filmmaker.
http://www.fromheretoawesome.com <http://www.fromheretoawesome.com/> From
Here to Awesome is an extension of the Workbook Project a social open-source
experiment for filmmakers.

ALSO!!:   the FHTA festival is having an all day event on the 26^th of July where they'll be featuring the films from the Festival.  I'm going to be in town that weekend and Peter and I are going to go down and do what you do at this stuff – network or something.  If anyone would like to attend it'd be great to see you.  It's free to register, there's a spot to register on the web page:

Thanks,

Roy

Hey everyone,  come check out our submission video at FROM HERE TO AWESOME :  http://fromheretoawesome.com/damagedone/

I had to shake the cold sweats, take a deep breath and speak on camera for this thing, so please reward me -- CLICK on the clicker under the video that says "I THINK THIS FILM LOOKS AWESOME".  We need as many hits as we can get to kick us up to the top:

FHTA is a new concept in helping truely independent films reach their audience put together by 4 EYED MONSTERS creator Arin Crumely and others -- an interesting experiment worth taking a look at and worth being involved in for us.

There's some "making of" footage on there and some commentary on the inspiration for the film so it's worth checking out.  Also, thanks to Ferris Mulholland himself, Shang Forbes for helping me out with this.

WE NEED YOUR VOTE!
