We are hoping to achieve an audience of 400 with 50% of advanced tickets being sold to cyclists. We will increase our film submissions by 20% over last year. We will have Anna Rodell design and execute and audience/participant survey that will be completed on-site the day of the festival. Artist and volunteer surveys will be sent out after the event. We will measure audience count at the gate and by ticket sales, and film submissions using Film Freeway.
Our Minnesota-made film festival (40+ films) is extremely unique in the region, and was a significant outcome of the 2017 Square Lake Festival. Filmmakers who make short films and animations have few venues, and furthermore, opportunities to build new audiences are rare. The commissioned film score by ZULUZULUU was also a big success, attracting a sold out crowd to experience the short films.
