Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Teach six to eight people the art of movie making so that they will each be able to plan, direct, and edit their own silent movie. Present two nights of silent movie entertainment in the park free to the public. Did the movie makers learn the skills necessary to be able to make their movies. Did they accomplish the goal of making a movie. Data collection on movie night. How many adults and children attended the free movie nights.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The non-threatening format allowed new people from the new MovieMakers relationship spheres to discover their acting talents and "transform in front of the camera."
