Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We Were the Lucky Ones from Venezuela will enhance their ability to collaboratively produce a broadcast-quality animated documentary short paired with an effective impact campaign. Ishwari Rajak, who is on the Advisory Committee, is a professional arts project evaluator and will lead the Committee in its evaluation work. Evaluation methods include: 1. Self-reporting of individual group members and artists will speak to efficacy of the collaboration, and whether it was a success for all participants. 2. To speak to artistic quality ("broadcast quality"), we will track which distributors are interested in the completed project as well as any critical media reviews.3. To speak to efficacy of the impact goals ("an effective impact campaign"), the group will develop a survey tool for use after each community event. Tool will include questions and opportunities for actionable steps audience members can take afterward based on the impact plan created in this proposal. The tool will request contact information to follow up at a later date with audience members and organizations on the actionable items to check status.
