Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
This local film project will provide acting and production opportunities to many artists (including women) in my community. Film opportunities are less frequent, and women are an often underrepresented group in the filmmaking community. I plan to interview primary participants and cut together a short video about how the project has had an impact on them, providing more opportunities and an outlet for artistic expression and collaboration.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The goals of the project were achieved – six episodes were completed as outlined in the grant proposal. I learned a lot about the filmmaking process alongside principal cast members, and improved as an artistic leader as a result of the process.
