Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

600 films submitted from 3000 artists, 70 films shown to 1800 patrons. We get submissions from six sources on-line (which list the artists who participated) where we those screen the films and narrow them down to those we have time to program. We sell tickets which allows us to track the number of patrons in attendance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We estimated that we would have 600 films submitted from 3000 artists, 70 films shown to 1800 patrons. We actually had over 700 submissions from closer to 4000 artists. We screened 108 films but unfortunately with the venue changes (and weather?) our attedance was down - closer to 1200.
