Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

With this project, we expect 6 ThinkSelf learners and participants and one professional Deaf artist will be included in the making of the film, and at least $2500 will be collected through ticket sales with over 400 individuals attending the event. Evaluations through surveys will show that 60% of audience members will have gained new knowledge about the Deaf immigrant and refugee community by watching the film. Evaluation of this project will include participant surveys and interviews about their experience working on the film, audience attendance, monetary donations received for tickets, and audience evaluation of the film itself through digital and paper surveys.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We were not able to measure outcomes due to not having the event.
