Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our goal is to get 194 audience members to attend the MNKINO Film Score Fest. Also, we would like to screen 16 films for the event. In order to evaluate our project we will do an audience count and a count of the films submitted. We will also solicit feedback from the audience and artists through email surveys after the event.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We exceeded our goal of 194 attendees to a total of 230 attendees. We also exceeded our goal of screening 16 films by screening a total of 21 films. In our audience surveys, we asked audience members to rate this event from 1, being poor to 5, being excellent. 48% rated this event 5, 36% rated it a 4, 16% rated it a 3, and no one rated it below 3.
