The Society for Geek Advancement was founded upon the principles that we should all embrace our inner and outer geek and have fun while doing it. As individuals who love learning, innovating and believe in possibility as well as change, the second step of responsibility is to “be the geek that keeps on giving.” As members of SGA, we work together as a global community to provide the tools to help others realize their true potential too!

About The Society for Geek Advancement
About Tubefilter
Our mission at Tubefilter is simple - to grow the audience of web television. Our news division,
Tubefilter News, is the leading authority in episodic web television.
The web is full of great storytelling. As you’ve probably noticed, there are a lot of stories out there, but too often they get lost in the web video shuffle. Tubefilter News helps you discover and keep track of the stories you care about. We also co-founded The Streamy Awards, the premiere awards for web television.
We care about quality episodic shows, whether they are studio or independently produced – if they’re good, we’ll help you find them. We follow the shows, their creators, the cast and the people that make these shows come to life.
We are based in Los Angeles, CA and we host a monthly gathering of web television creators and industry folks called the Tubefilter Hollywood Web Television Meetup. For more information on the Meetup, follow us on Twitter or join our Facebook Group.
Come back daily and tell your friends!
Co-Founders
Drew Baldwin, Brady Brim-DeForest, Marc Hustvedt, Jamison Tilsner and Joshua Cohen
