Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Local artists will have the opportunity to explore their abilities. Over a couple months of preparation and three days of shooting, my cast and crew will have made a 12-minute film which they can use to critique and hear feedback regarding their talents as filmmakers, musicians, and actors. 2: Artists and film fans will be able to ask questions and engage in a live critique. At Bryant-Lake Bowl's Cinema Lounge in November, 2016, artists and film fans will ask my team and I questions regarding The Francesca. We will engage with them on a personal level and answer any and all questions.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The film, Shinaab, gained national attention through a variety of outlets and has been mentioned in a number of major trade magazines. I have spoken at length with everyone who was involved about how the porch affected them. Everyone had a positive learning experience. 2: The movie played at the Walker Art Center. I felt I answered the questions as well as possible.
