About
Over the span of 6 months, the program will have 3 different month-long training cohorts, each one culminating in a week-long shoot of a short film in the Virtual Production volume. The course will be taught by a mix of experts in the field brought in from out of town and a few of the local professionals that have already done work in the Volume. The program will be done in partnership with OMPA, Oregon Film Office, and Pacific U., and overseen by Lower Boom Foundation founder Matt Schulte.
Impact
1. By bridging the disconnect of cutting-edge technology from underserved communities, building a a coalition of diverse experience in the professional creative realm, and building equity within an emerging creative and technology-based innovation.

No displayed figures preserved for this project.
Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
