Carmel Film Forum

Presented by Indy Film Fest at Carmel Clay Public Library

Carmel Clay Public Library (CCPL) will host the 2017 Carmel Film Forum on Friday, August 4 and Saturday, August 5. It’s a FREE, fun, educational event, crowned by film screenings and Q&As with successful Hollywood filmmakers.

On Friday evening at 6:30 p.m., James E. Moriarty of Moriarty Media will introduce Jon Schnepp, a successful Hollywood based producer, writer and director. James will have the first public screening of his new “Indy produced” short film, BYTE The Prequel, and Jon will make the regional premiere of his feature length documentary, The Death of “Superman Lives”: What Happened? James and Jon will have a Q&A session on what inspired Jon to make his film and the challenges Jon had with crowd funding and distribution.
On Saturday afternoon Mez Murray, a Chicago based producer, writer, director and comedian will join Jon in a screen writers’ workshop that offers one to one discussions with aspiring filmmakers regarding the scripts or films they have previously submitted online. This unique feedback session can give guidance to those looking to make it to “the next level”.
HOLLYWOOD COMES BACK TO INDIANA
On Saturday evening at 5:30 p.m., Film Indy Commissioner Teresa Sabatine is honored to host native Hoosier and Hollywood executive, Jeremy Whitman, for an intimate discussion around creating a successful career in the entertainment business.
