ACHF Arts Access
Expand and enhance youth programs to include two project mentors and 15 more students; increase visibility/traffic to youth content YouTube channel; partner with other organizations, such as FORECAST and Girl Scouts of America. Tracking participation and partnerships. 2: Develop deeper relations with current stakeholders. Membership, equipment rental and fiscal sponsorship provide an access point to IFP Minnesota, but we want to develop deeper relationships through activities (ex: networking, professional development events, and mentorships). As a result we will also significantly reinvigorate membership. New and expanded programs/events will be evaluated through attendance, press coverage, quality of guests, and through evaluation surveys given to attendees, guests, partners, and venues.
Increased mentorship programs, attracted new partners, deepened our connection to EDU Film Festival. Specifically, IFP increased mentors from 8 in 2013 to 15 in 2014; student participation increased by 21 over the same time period; and partnered with Forecast Public Art, Minnesota Opera, and Girl Scouts of America. Launched Master Class series, expanded annual Filmmaker Conference, expanded Spirit Awards screening series.
