-Free Geek is spontaneously and rapidly expanding, around the Portland Metro region region and across the country. Our “mother ship” operation has years of experience to share with these new start up organizations (in five states so far), as well as the dozens of other community groups waiting for their own opportunity to get started.

Having a Free Geek operation in a community benefits the public in two major categories: diversion of e-waste and increasing digital inclusion through an efficient and cost effective, volunteer based system.

+The Film Freek project is designed to teach student volunteers how to create digital media projects and learn professional production skills in a cooperative environment. The selected students will work on a series of progressively more complex projects, while learning to use cost effective methods to produce quality end products. Each group of students (3 groups of 6 students over one year) will learn the basics and then start working individually, progressing through group projects, finally culminating in a 1 hour cable access showcase for the students work and other original content related to Free Geek's mission. Students receive the training for free, in exchange for volunteering 100 hours of teaching future classes and/or providing additional content for Free Geek educational videos and/or cable access episodes.
-The main outcome of the Film Freek project would be the creation of self-replicating generations of film makers versed in a range of production techniques from low cost to professional quality using primarily Free and Open Source Software for all aspects of the productions. Direct “deliverables” would be three broadcast quality cable access shows and three Free Geek education program classes presented in a digital video format. As part of the self-replicating student/teacher/content structure, additional, and updated content for broadcast on cable access via FreekTV and other media formats will be generated on an ongoing basis.

The true test of whether the project is successful will be if classes continue to be available to teach budding film makers, while creating content for Free Geek educational videos. We hope to continue to produce and broadcast regular excerpts of FreekTV as long as it fits with Portland Community Medias goals and objectives.
-There are several public benefits that can be met with the successful completion of this grant. Existing Free Geeks, or similar types of organizations around the region and the country can get more direct access to the education resources we have developed.
+There are several public benefits that can be met with the successful completion of this grant. Existing Free Geek (or similar types of) organizations around the region and the country can get more direct access to the education resources we have developed. The populations served by this project cuts across many spectra. E-waste ultimately affects everyone. Lack of digital inclusion affects those who do not have access to computers for a variety of reasons, though these are mostly economic in nature.
 We have developed a partnership with Portland Community Media for assistance in training our students as well as providing resources to edit and broadcast our content. Portland Community Media will also provide a slot in their cable access programming schedule for at least 3 different productions of the FreekTV show.
 Total Project budget, grant request and matching funds.

Presenting technical info can be a challenge. If the producer uses too much jargon, the viewer can be confused, but if s/he spends too much time explaining the content, the viewer may be bored.
