Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our goal of this project is to complete a new visual installment (similar in format to the one given as our work sample) for an audio track from our recently released album. We have 3 installments already completed. This funding would allow us to complete one visual installment that can be used as a standalone piece and also push forward our end goal to have visual installments for all audio tracks on the album to be performed to live and shared via various viewing formats. This would be our third visual installment we are wishing to complete. The past installments along with our collective work history have given us a very clear view of what this project will take, for time and funding, to be completed. I will be working, creatively, again with Kjell Kvanbeck of True Norse Films" and Ryan Rusch of "The Weight Room" recording studio. I enjoy and work very efficiently with them."

Measurable Outcome(s)

Measurable outcome is still being calculated. Local sources (social media, news, radio) have shared and promoted the piece we created and it is currently set to be used nationally in conjunction with a film where the audio was used. The movement to bring this entire piece is being organized and the piece is being edited along with the previous pieces to be submitted to film festivals.
