Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Local artists will have the opportunity to explore their abilities/Minnesota artists develop their artistic practice. Over two months of prep and three days of filming, my cast and crew will make a five minute short film, which they can use to critique and get feedback re: their talents as filmmakers, musicians and actors. 2: Artists and film lovers will be able to ask questions and engage in a live critique. At the public screening of the film, artists and film lovers will ask my team and I questions about the film, revealing the creative process and receiving feedback about the project.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Local artists will have the opportunity to explore their abilities/Minnesota artists develop their artistic practice. Feedback sessions with each crew member after production. 2: Artists and film lovers will be able to ask questions. As the film was shared online, we were not able to have a live critique session, but all attendees were able to reply with feedback.
