What did you film on 12.12.12?: I have not decided yet. Maybe I'll make a film about a nonprofit called Austin Free-Net (AFN) which helps community organizations launch free Internet access sites for the public. AFN provides technical expertise, services and equipment to community organizations, to build computer labs that are technologically and economically self-sustaining over time.

New technology promises an opportunity for all, but only on an equal playing field, with equal access to information, education and involvement in the community. Anyone that has the desire should be able to access the Internet to improve their lives and contribute to society.

With these facts in mind, Austin Free-Net exists to make equal access to computing resources a reality. Austin Free-Net provides technology training and access for the community, fostering skills that enable people to succeed in a digital age. The computer labs and classes are open to all; our focus is on underserved communities.
