Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The artist (Chris Newberry) will edit a rough cut of the documentary. The outcome will be considered a success if I created a rough cut that both receives constructive feedback from colleagues and members of the public and sets me on a path to completion.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The artist (Chris Newberry) worked with collaborators to (1) edit scenes for his documentary and (2) research and collect related archival materials. The artist considers the outcome a success because he made significant and measurable progress in the production and post-production of his documentary project during the grant period. More than an hour's worth of edited material was achieved.
