Our proposed outcome is to promote Minnesota documentary film/filmmakers by intentionally building a community (in the Saint Croix Valley and great Metro Area) around Minnesota and nationally-made non-fiction film (documentary). Our goal is to increase our attendance, and thereby our effectiveness of reaching our proposed outcome, by increasing attendance by 25%. One evaluation method is to meticulously count attendance at screenings and backtrack how they heard about screening to improve our marketing methods. Our second evaluation method is to document the filmmakers who we screen and the impact on the documentary filmmaking community that we propose to support.
During its inaugural season, Marine Film Society set out to have 50 people at each screening. In year two, their goal was to increase that number by 25% and they surpassed this goal by reaching a 33% increase over attendance averages from their first year. The number of filmmakers and film subjects who participated in Question/Answer increased by 60% (from 4 to 10).
