Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The tangible goal of this activity is to be completely prepared to move into production on the film, LOVSET'S MANOEUVRE, by October 2023. By the end of this period, I will have the script completed, the actors attached to the project, the locations locked in, the community's support, and the crew prepared to shoot. I will have a live reading of excerpts from the screenplay for the community, to bolster the feeling of participation I have already cultivated in the months leading up to October, and to receive feedback on the script. Filmmaking is truly a collaborative and communal effort, and my goal is that the community of Hibbing feels invested in and excited about the film production. I will have contracts with the actors, crew, and locations secured. I will have agreements for in-kind donations and discounts from local businesses for catering, cast/crew accommodations, and set design supplies. There will be a strong turnout (50-100 people) for the live reading, and a question-and-answer session will provide feedback on the project from the community.
