Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our artistic goal is to create a short film. We will know that goal is accomplished when we show it in March 2015 at Pioneer Place Theatre in St Cloud, Minnesota. Specifically we will need to cast, plan, schedule, rehearse, shoot, edit, and finally score the film before we can show it. Throughout the year we will be working on fulfilling those goals and making sure we stay on pace to complete the project. Our goal is to have 25+ local artists assist us on PUSHY.During the planning stages we have outlined a list of things we need to accomplish in order to make this film happen. We will use this checklist to keep track of how we are progressing on the project. We can track the amount of artists who have helped on the film with the use of the filming contracts they'll need to sign before starting to work.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our goal was to make a film and educate 25 artists. I feel proud to confirm that both goals were accomplished. We planned, shot, and edited footage for the script called PUSHY, renamed it BETWEEN FRIENDS, and premiered it at Pioneer Place Theatre 3/31/15. It was hard work but we feel very good about the result. We gave 27 local artists a chance to push themselves to do things they haven't done before and they learned how to pull it off. That knowledge now goes with them to all future projects.
