Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

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% increase in attendance during the 19/20 season 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.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We had exactly a 10% attendance increase this year, and our artistic mission is to foster an audience for Minnesota-made documentary film. Our attendance increase is a testament to progress we're making toward this goal. "Nothing draws a crowd like a crowd", and we believe that if we enliven an audience for documentary film in Marine, other arts organizations and community systems will benefit.
