WORKBOOK PROJECT ANNOUNCES SCREENING DATES AND LOCATION FOR DISCOVERY & DISTRIBUTION AWARD-WINNER 'ONE HUNDRED MORNINGS'
(Philadelphia, PA) - The WorkBook Project (WBP) is excited to announce the screening dates and venue for its Discovery and Distribution Award Winner, the Irish post-apocalyptic drama One Hundred Mornings.
As part of the WorkBook Project Discovery and Distribution Award, One Hundred Mornings was given a one-week theatrical release at the state of the art Downtown Independent Theater in Los Angeles. In addition, 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 WBPLabs). The winning filmmaker will also receive 100% of the box office receipts, providing funding for future distribution opportunities.
The Discovery & Distribution Award is made possible thanks to a number of amazing partners IndieFlix, the Slamdance Film Festival, Hammer to Nail and the Downtown Independent Theater. The screening will be co-presented and supported by local independent film groups, in an unprecedented show of unity, including Cinefist, Cinema Speakeasy, Slamdance Film Festival, the Downtown Independent Theatre, and more.
"The Discovery and Distribution award is an effort to help give a boost to exciting creative works that might otherwise not be seen. We look to leverage the creative community to help get the word out and to collectively work to make a DIY discovery and distribution effort easier" says Lance Weiler, the founder of The WorkBook Project.

About The Workbook Project Discovery and Distribution Award
The WorkBook Project Discovery and Distribution Award is part of an expanded WBP initiative to provide tangible options for those working in film, music, games, design and software to fund, create, distribute and sustain. The award opens new channels and modes of distribution currently unavailable in the traditional system and established festival circuit. Pooling distribution channels, making them accessible, and spotlighting a featured filmmaker with theatrical run and packaged PR through secured resources, the WBP Award displaces a limited bottleneck system with an open-source, sustainability model. In addition to the winner, The WBP awarded another 20 selected filmmakers with an exclusive digital distribution access package provided by WBP Award partner IndieFlix that will place them on Hulu, iTunes, Netfilx, and variety of other outlets.
