Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

My artistic career and business skills will be further developed through the creation of a film with the highest budget I have worked with to date. Outcomes will be evaluated through a) a successful post-production and completion of the film, and b) A meaningful engagement between the film and the Minnesota viewing audience. 2: Minnesotans will experience a film that honors Minnesota’s historical, cultural, and creative legacy. Outcome will be evaluated by a) the number of paid admissions in Minnesota to THE PUBLIC DOMAIN, b) the number of attendees to the free screening in Minnesota to the film, and c) audience response via survey after the free screening.

Measurable Outcome(s)

THE PUBLIC DOMAIN is a completed film that’s been picked up for distribution and seen by thousands in the theater. It will go on to digital distribution through Netfilx and similar outlets. 2: THE PUBLIC DOMAIN reflects an important Minnesota event, presented in a creative and compelling manner.
