In 2008 From Here to Awesome experimented with a “day and date” festival model that helped filmmakers reach audiences on various devices and platforms while enabling them to retain their rights. Instead of repeating what we did last year we’ve decided to spend some time doing R&D around the topics that are impacting the futures of entertainment. Over the course of 2009 we’ll be holding a number of discussions with thought leaders from various industries. The first in the “From Here to Awesome” series centers on the issue of discovery.

Guest include: Left to Right – Dean Jansen (Outreach Director, Miro), Lance Weiler (story architect), Alex Johnson (digital strategist), Arin Crumley (filmmaker), Jerry Paffendorf (futurist)
