Sitting in Eternity

Sometimes that's how I feel. Frozen in time. But not right now, I am getting things done. New FH2A video coming soon, special concert video soon, new project teaser coming soon, Ai and FH2A shorts showcase coming soon. Been crazy busy with work which is why content is being delayed.

Oh and if you haven't signed up to Ourstage yet, please help me out! My next video will explain more details about everything going on.

So until eternity stops, I'll keep moving.

FH2A Screenings of "Ai" in San Francisco

FHTA invades San Francisco - Screenings and DIY DAYS

Been really busy with editing in New York city, so excuse me for my lack of blog updates, but here's some really cool info for people in the San Francisco area. FH2A is doing an interactive screening for 3 of the 12 feature films in the showcase where the audience chooses what film to watch. All the short films (including mine!!!) will be playing on an alternate screen. It's really cool so check out the video above for more info and stop by if you are in the area. The event is free, register here.

Ourstage Deal

As part of my film "Ai" being in the FHTA showcase we get amazing partnerships with online outlets. The "Ai" banner above will lead you to a sign up page for this cool website Ourstage. It's a social network site where you can download independent music, music videos and films. If you sign up (it will give you 3 options, choose Music Fan) you will get 30 free downloads of DRM free mp3 and earn me a mighty four dollars when you confirm your account through your email. The deal is only good from August 1st to September 31st so please sign up soon.

If you successfully sign up, I will receive an email from Ourstage notifying me that you signed up. When I get this email, I will send you a private link to watch Ai for free with no watermarks on Ourstage. It's really simple to sign up to Ourstage, they're giving you free music and videos and it would be a huge support to me and my films. Thanks to all who sign up!

Want to see Ai?

From Here to Awesome has just begun and as a result my film is getting distribution in a myriad of different outlets, the first of which starts today.

You can purchase a DVD of the film from indieflix for $6. If you prefer downloading a compressed version of the film, go to Caachi and download a torrent for $1.99 for either an ipod viewable mp4 or an avi for your computer. Do you use vudu? If so, you can already view the film as part of your package.

Please help support Ai by paying for it from any of these sites. If you can't afford to fork over a few bucks, I will be releasing a watermarked version of the film next week on social network sites, but purchasing it in some fashion is the best way to support Ai. Stay updated for more screenings, information and videos on my personal FH2A page, my youtube, my flickr and my twitter and check out my newly launched Facebook fan page for "Ai". Thanks and I hope you enjoy the film!
