Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The goal of this project is to assemble a group of artists to record a suite of new music and then make a short film of a live performance. My outcome will be to have new music recorded and distributed by Chaperone Records and to have a short film based on its live production. My goal is to create a project that requires a collaborative effort. Each step of this process is evaluated by its completion; its recording, its performance and the film created by it. When all these things are completed in the stated time frame and available to the public I will consider this project a success.

Measurable Outcome(s)

With this most recent completed Fever Dream movie I increased my ability to work with other local artists and proved that I can finish a project within a specific budget and deadline.
