WBP discovery and distribution Award

By Lance Weiler, October 6th, 2009

We are pleased to announce a new award. The WorkBook Project – Discovery and Distribution Award is part of an initiative to provide tangible options for those working in film, music, games, design and software to fund, create, distribute and sustain.

The first edition of the WBP Award will be given to a feature filmmaker. The winning feature filmmaker will be given a one-week theatrical run at the state of the art Downtown Independent Theater in Los Angeles.

In addition to the theatrical run the winning filmmaker will receive a special P&A package consisting of PR, street team and social media support (provided by Culture Shock Marketing and WBP Labs) to help drive an audience to the venue. The filmmaker will receive 100% of the box office receipts. But there is more – 20 other filmmakers will receive a special digital distribution access package from WBP Award partner IndieFlix that will place them on Hulu, iTunes, Netfilx and variety of other outlets.

I had a quick question - I was going to shoot someone an email, but in the off-chance that anyone else is wondering the same thing, I'll leave it as a comment:

Is it possible for films close to finishing (in post-production) to submit and be considered for this Discovery and Distribution award? I would *love* to submit For Thousands of Miles, but I wasn't sure if;

a) This contest has a set date after the announcement for the week long theater run (ie, it's already booked and reserved), or

b) this reward was just set aside for a film when it was ready (within a reasonable period of time) to be screened.

Thanks! Either way, it's a fantastic idea.
