The 2018 Carmel Film Forum: Focus on Filmmaking was a great success. The screenwriting workshop was attended by people of all ages. A table read by local actors brought the scripts to life and was received with enthusiasm by both the scriptwriters and the audience. We premiered the music video ALIVE that was created in the workshop I taught in the CCPL Digital Media Lab. Two full length films by Indiana filmmakers were shown, as well as 5 short films by Indy indie filmmakers. All of the films were followed by Q&As. The participants in The Carmel Film Forum were delighted by the support they received from each other and are excited about the future of filmmaking in Indiana. Photos by James E.
