Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The festival is based on choosing quality films and increasing viewing opportunities throughout the calendar year by demonstrating the existence of an audience to the theater management. We provide a venue and audience for Minnesota film makers, and want to increase younger audience patronage and appeal to various cultural groups in Rochester.Success measured through audience size and written feedback when appropriate.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We brought to Rochester foreign and independent movies which are never shown in Rochester big box theaters. We also wanted to demonstrate to the theaters that there is an audience for movies which are shunned by their booking agents.
