Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will pay filmmakers for completion of twelve films. We will maintain our 95% rate of filmmaker satisfaction with the production process they undertake with us. We will evaluate films when they are completed in terms of their overall quality and production values. We will evaluate filmmaker participation through exit interviews and an artist survey.

Measurable Outcome(s)

100% of poets are excited about their films. 100% of filmmakers indicated an interest in working with us again (Xialou Wang: My skills feel more sharpened, and just alive.) In past years, we premiered in 2 of 3 markets (here, New York, and LA) but this year we'll premiere in all three.
