The Dirty Dozen - Invitationals

1.) What is the project supposed to achieve?
     Invitationals are films that we invite to be submitted to our film festival. I am to revise the invitational letter to fit our current needs so that it can be sent out to different student film makers. I need to find a total of 100 invitationals between film submissions and paper submissions. We will achieve a greater diversity and control over what films we choose to screen in our film blocks.

2.) Who is this supposed to reach?
    We are targeting student filmmakers who we feel like should submit films to us. We also want to try to talk to NYU and Chapman University to name a few schools.

3.) What are the deliverable of the project?
    The deliverable of this project is a finalized list of filmmakers and scholars who have agreed to submit their works to Visions.

4.) The budget?
    This project has no budget.

5.) How long will the project take?
     This project will take a majority if not all of the semester. The research in finding the contact information, sending out emails and then shifting through the responses will be a continuous process.

6.) What skills are needed?
    Good writing and editing skills would be needed and well as good communication skills and organization.

7.) What resources are needed?
    Last years email would be needed as a starting point for the revision. Google for research and an email account to send and receive emails.

8.)  Who is working on the job?
    I am working on the invitational email, while Kevin is focusing on the non invitationals.

9.) What is the schedule?
    The invitational emails need to be sent by the opening date of Oct. 28th and then I would need to shift through the responses.

10.) What are the risks?
    The risks are that the email could be poorly worded and could cause the invited to not want to submit,

11.) How will I communicate with my team?
    The communication between Kevin and Rob is solid and if I needed any assistance I can reach out to them.

12.) How will I determine if the project is successful?
    I will determine if the project is successful if will receive a high number of submissions from the invitationals and can get the majority of who is on my contact list.
