Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Audience surveys showed that 30% experienced taiko for the first time, and total average quality rating is above four (out of 5) stars. We will evaluate our outcomes through attendance totals and audience and artist surveys.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Hundreds of hours of footage was edited to reduce to approximately 40 hours to streamline and highlight key scenes and storytelling. In terms of the concert that was the subject of the film, approximately 25% experienced taiko for the first time, and the audience survey and immediate responses were overwhelmingly positive.
