The filmmaking workshops will discuss how to write a compelling personal two-minute documentary film and demonstrate the technology needed for videoing and editing a documentary. The webinar will be facilitated by James Moriarty, co-owner and producer of Moriarty Media and Sara O’Sha, Audiovisual Services Supervisor of the Carmel Clay Public Library. James Moriarty will teach the technical aspects of filmmaking, host the film screenings, and introduce special guests who will contribute their filmmaking and film festival judging expertise.

The webinar’s participants will be asked to make a documentary that is two minutes long and present it to the workshop on July 24. The 2021 Carmel Film Forum will conclude with a juried screening of the films created. The winner of the best two-minute documentary will receive a Canon EOS M50 Mark II with 15-45mm lens, and a RØDE VideoMic Go from Roberts Camera. All participants who complete a two-minute documentary for judging will receive an expert critique of their film and a ticket to the Indy 2022 Indy Film Fest.
