Through this documentary film series, we seek to increase the production quantity and quality of regionally produced documentary films. Though we are approaching the capacity of the screening venue, we aim for a 10-15% increase in attendance during the 17/18 so as to increase the audience for documentary film. We evaluate the success of our programming via attendance count at our screenings. Via email correspondence, we also assess the impact of the screening on the documentary filmmakers by soliciting their quotes for our website.
One of the outcomes was sustaining the double digit attendance increase from the 16/17 season. Between our first season and season three, we had a 80% attendance increase (from 61 to 110). However, from the 16/17 to 17/18 season, we hovered at about the same attendance numbers. Four Minnesota-based documentary production teams (each team consisting of 5-15 individuals) were served.
