We will have 500 films submitted involving 1200-1500 artists combined. Most will be adults but one of our goals is educating minors in video production. We will have at least five films from minors and also aide in the creation of five local films that will be shown at the festival. We will have 15 shows with an average attendance of 100 people for a total of 1500 patrons. We use submission forms for the films. It tells us how many adults and minors worked on each project with most projects using anywhere from 15-25 (or more) people. We sell tickets which allows us to track how many people attended each show.
We set out a goal for 500 submissions and received over 800 (which eclipsed the 450 we got in 2015). We expected 1200 artists to participate in those films and instead we saw the work of more than 3000 contributors. Some films made by as few as one person and some by well over 100. We set out to get five films from minors and got 18 instead. We also expected to show five local films and were able to screen 30 films made in Minnesota (and 19 from Central Minnesota). Lastly, we expected about 1500 people in attendance. We saw almost 1200 folks this year. The evaluation tool I uploaded was a copy of the festival pass we sold. We were able to count those sales toward how many patrons we had.
