Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The goal is to shoot and edit a short proof-of-concept film which will serve as a stand-alone short film, advance our understanding of the artistic elements of our next feature, and serve as raw material for a deeper public outreach drive (production stills, teaser trailer, point of artistic conversation and clarification) in preparation for the feature film THE HUNTER which we plan to shoot in 2018. The measurable outcome is 100% objective, a finished short film based on three concepts central to THE HUNTER. The first and primary measurable outcome is the completion of the proof-of-concept short film. Subsequent additional measurable outcomes include but are not limited to the following: 1) Hits on Vimeo, 2) Funding for THE HUNTER feature secured through platforms using short proof-of-concept, 3) Written critical feedback from peers, 4) Film festival selections for short proof-of-concept, and 5) Gathering of contracted cast and crew for the feature film.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Three days of shooting for proof of concept concluded Committed funds from outside patrons arrived on schedule and as promised. All talent, venues and technical crew compensated Raw footage from all 3 days uploaded into editing system Footage from day 1 catalogued Editing commenced Follow up with talent with respect to feature commenced Design of feature project funding drive commenced Dialogue with various regional filmmakers about feature project ongoing.
