Project Event Dates: Saturday, November 5 and Saturday, November 6, 2022 Project Activity Location: Carmel Clay Public Library (Main Branch) and ZOOM webinar Project Manager James E. Moriarty Producer/Director Moriarty Media Carmel, IN 46280 317) 581-9126 iames@moriartvmedia.com Proposal This proposal requests a Carmel Arts Grant to produce the 2022 Carmel Film Forum: Big Picture Pinball Show and Narrative Design Workshop for Games and Movies. Moriarty Media will partner with the Carmel Clay Public Library (CCPL), Digital Media Lab, The Indy Film Fest, and the Indiana Filmmakers Network to plan the program. The 2022 Film Forum has a pinball and gaming theme and will be held LIVE in the newly renovated main Carmel Clay Public Library and streamed virtually via Zoom. The Film Forum will be free to those who register. The participants will be provided with a program and curriculum. The Carmel Film Forum will be held on Saturday, November 5, and Sunday, November 6, 2022. There will be three sessions. The Film Forum will be facilitated by James Moriarty, Co-owner and producer of Moriarty Media and Sara O'Sha, Adult Services Manager of the Carmel Clay Public Library. The first session will be held on Saturday afternoon and conducted by Nathan Bechtold, President of Indiana Filmmakers Network. It will be a Narrative Design Workshop for Games and Movies. Participants will learn step by step world building techniques as well as how to create immersive stories with compelling characters, locations and situations. From concept to completion, this informative workshop will help those interested in game development and filmmaking. The Saturday evening session will feature filmmaker Imoto Harney. She will premiere a new documentary about Project Pinball. This non-profit charity places pinball machines in Children's Hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses to introduce therapeutic benefits to kids of all ages. There will be a Q&A with the filmmaker after her screening. DocuSign Envelope ID: 15E0B74B-0FAA-491E-A7BC-00BB8A086FBF The Film Forum will conclude Sunday afternoon with a table read of the new screenplay "Skill Shot Baby!" a feature-length narrative film with a pinball theme helmed by local filmmaker James Moriarty. After the table read, the filmmakers will discuss the progress of the film's production and their efforts to bring it to the screen. If the main Carmel Clay Public Library renovations are delayed, or there is a resurgence of Covid 19 and it is deemed unsafe to meet as a group on the event's dates, the 2022 Carmel Film Forum will proceed as a Zoom webinar. History of the Carmel Film Forum: The Carmel Film Forum premiered in August, 2017 with "Hollywood Comes to Carmel." Thanks to partnerships with the Carmel Clay Public Library, Indy Film Fest, Film Indy, Indiana Filmmakers Network, SoHo Cafe & Gallery, and Roberts Camera, there was a great turnout and a lively weekend of discussion about the art and business of filmmaking in Indiana. Due to the success of the 2017 Forum, in September we held a "Filmmaking 101" workshop at the Carmel Clay Library's Digital Media Lab, which quickly filled and drew participants from the Carmel community and surrounding areas. For the 2018 grant, we produced "Focus On Filmmaking," which featured a music video production workshop, a screenwriting class, table reads with local actors, filmmaker interviews, and screenings. The Carmel Film Forum took its participants to the next level of realizing their filmmaker's vision by doing a deep dive into the study of budgeting and funding of their films. In 2019, we produced "Making the Big Picture: Preproduction, and Crowdfunding," which highlighted a table -read with local actors reading a feature screenplay. The participants received a printed curriculum and helped develop the film's logline and tagline to be used in the film's marketing materials. Rachel Murphy, a professional line producer, showed participants how to break down a film's budget, using the feature screenplay as an example. In the evening, Ms. Murphy hosted a screening of Midwest female filmmakers and conducted Q&As. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The "2020 Carmel Film Forum: Stop Motion Animation Celebration" was converted from an in -person hands-on stop motion animation workshop, held at the CCPL, to a two -session webinar hosted on CCPL's ZOOM account. The webinar featured professional animator, Lisa Barcy, streaming from Chicago, who taught animation techniques employing drawing, paper cut-outs, and 3D objects. A program/curriculum was emailed to the participants, as well as a list of the workshop's tools, software, and supplies needed. The participants were encouraged to make an animated clip, using the techniques demonstrated in the program and upload their clips to be judged. During the screening of the clips, Lisa Barcy made comments about the positive use of animation techniques used in each film. Lisa announced the winner of the stop motion animation contest, who was awarded a license to a copy of the Dragonframe professional stop motion animation software, a $300 value. A retrospective of Lisa Barcy's animation work was watched, and a Q&A with Lisa was conducted. Participants willingly embraced using the ZOOM webinar format in lieu of a hands-on event held at the CCPL. The ZOOM webinar format allowed participants from outside Indiana to take part and learn about Carmel's support for the arts and filmmakers. Due to the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, The 2021 Carmel Film Forum was again converted from an in -person hands-on Documentary Filmmaking Workshop & Festival to a DocuSign Envelope ID: 15E0B74B-0FAA-491E-A7BC-00BB8A086FBF three -session webinar hosted on CCPL's ZOOM account. The Film Forum was conducted on three successive Saturdays. The workshops discussed how to write a compelling personal two - minute documentary film and demonstrated the technology needed for videoing and editing a documentary. The webinar was 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 taught the technical aspects of filmmaking, hosted the film screenings, and introduced special guests who contributed their expertise in filmmaking and film festival judging. The participants were asked to make a documentary that was 2 minutes long and present it to the workshop. The Film Forum concluded with a juried screening of the films created. The winner of the best documentary received a digital camera from Roberts Camera. In addition, all participants received tickets to the 2022 Indy Film Fest. Economic and Cultural Impact: Through partnerships with arts and civic organizations, enthusiasm for filmmaking in Carmel and the surrounding communities is encouraged, and Carmel is recognized for its contribution to the art of filmmaking. Aspiring directors, producers, and screenwriters can network and find support for their projects. In addition, patrons of the Carmel Clay Public Library who love seeing films can learn more about filmmaking by attending the workshops. 2022 Project Management and Promotion: A team of volunteers and a small paid staff will manage the project during the workshop. A web page will be created for the forum that will list the project's goals and objectives. In addition, a printed program containing the schedule, the project's partners, and the presenters' biographies will be handed out at the workshop. A media release will be designed and sent to public officials, newspapers, radio/television stations and websites that promote cultural events in Indiana. Our partnering organizations will be asked to share the information with their email lists and social media outlets. The workshop will be documented and posted on social media and Moriarty Media's website. 2022 Project Evaluation: The participants will receive a questionnaire with the following questions. How did you find out about the 2022 Carmel Film Forum? Circle all that apply) social media/internet/newspaper/television/radio/poster/friend/other Did you participate in the 2022 Carmel Film Forum in person or by ZOOM?

Project Manager James Moriarty Moriarty Media (317) 581-9126 james@moriartymedia.com www.moriartymedia.com Overview: Thanks to a Carmel City Arts grant of $5,000.00, Indy Film Fest and Moriarty Media were able to partner with the Carmel Clay Public Library (CCPL) Digital Media Lab (DML), Indiana Filmmakers Network, and Roberts Camera to produce the 2021 Carmel Film Forum: Documentary Filmmaking Workshop & Festival. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Carmel Film Forum was converted from an in -person hands-on Documentary Filmmaking Workshop & Festival, held at the Carmel Clay Public Library (CCPL) to a three -session webinar hosted on CCPL's ZOOM account. The Film Forum was conducted on three successive Saturdays: July 10, 17 and 24. Each workshop was scheduled from 2 pm to 4 pm. The workshops discussed how to write a compelling personal two -minute documentary film and demonstrated the technology needed for videoing and editing a documentary. The webinar was 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 taught the technical aspects of filmmaking, hosted the film screenings and introduced special guests, who contributed their expertise in filmmaking and film festival judging. The participants were asked to make a documentary that was 2 minutes long and present it to the workshop on July 24. Monday, October 4, 2021 DocuSign Envelope ID: 15E0B74B-0FAA-491E-A7BC-00BB8A086FBF Saturday, July 10 - Session 1: HOW TO WRITE A 2-MIN DOCUMENTARY FILM AND WHO IS GOING TO SEE IT?

Saturday, July 24 - Session 3: 2-MIN DOCUMENTARY FILM FESTIVAL AND WINNER'S Q&A: Featured special guest Meredith Reinker, Roberts Camera Marketing & HR Director. The Film Forum concluded with a juried screening of the films created. The winner of the best documentary received a digital video camera from Roberts Camera. All participants received tickets to the 2022 Indy Film Fest. A program and curriculum were written to support the events, along with the development of an advertising campaign. Outcome: The 2021 Carmel Film Forum: Stop Motion Animation Celebration ZOOM webinar was limited to 100 seats and sold out a week before the event. There were requests for a documentation video to be posted for those who could not attend the ZOOM webinar, which can be seen at http://moriartymedia com/2020-carmel-film-forum- stop-webinar-documentation-video. All of the granted funds were used in producing, marketing, and documenting the project. Participant Evaluation: We received enthusiastic feedback on the participant evaluation forms. Participants willingly embraced using the ZOOM webinar format in lieu of a hands-on event held at the CCPL. Benefits: The participants learned filmmaking skills from experienced professionals. They have been able to share their ideas and receive support from each other. They are better prepared to achieve their filmmaking goals. Plus, the new ZOOM webinar format allowed participants from outside Indiana to learn about the City of Carmel as a supporter of creativity and filmmakers.

PUBLIC LIBRARY DocuSign Envelope ID: 15E0B74B-0FAA-491E-A7BC-00BB8A086FBF A MESSAGE FROM JIM BRAINARD, MAYOR OF DARMEL INDIANA Carmel has a long history of support for the arts, particularly the public arts. Our investment in world -class arts facilities, including The Palladium, The Tarkington Theater and The Studio Theater, has not only served the purpose of lifting our spirits and enlightening our minds, but has also proved to be an important economic driver for Carmel and the Indianapolis metro area and will continue to do so for decades. The power of film has long been a part of the American experience, dating back to the silent films, early Hollywood blockbusters and the many genres of film that emerged in the last century. In most cases, we experienced these in big -screen theaters or drive-ins. Today, fans of film have a number of new ways to enjoy films at home on their own big screens, on hand-held electronic devices, even on cell phones. The future of filmmaking, particularly indie films, is bright. The City of Carmel is proud to support the Carmel Film Forum. Very truly yours, James Brainard Mayor of Carmel Indiana CARUEL DocuSign Envelope ID: 15E0B74B-0FAA-491E-A7BC-00BB8A086FBF The Carmel Film Forum began five years ago when James Moriarty received a 2017 Carmel Arts Grant for his proposal to produce a forum to celebrate the filmmaking art and encourage filmmaking in Indiana. A positive response to the 2017 Carmel Film Forum resulted in a follow-up event entitled the 2018 Carmel Film Forum: Focus on Filmmaking, which featured the art of screenwriting. Continuing support allowed the 2019 Carmel Film Forum: Making the Big Picture, emphasizing filmmaking preproduction and crowdfunding. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Carmel Film Forum: Stop Motion Animation Celebration was given as a two -session webinar. This online format was hugely successful, allowing people outside of Carmel, Indiana, to participate in the Forum. Due to the Carmel Clay Public Library's building renovation and the continuing pandemic, the 2021 Carmel Film Forum: Documentary Filmmaking Workshop & Festival will be held as a three -session webinar. WELCOME TO THE CARMEL FILM FORUM 0 ' 9 4 W,Nh,6. The Carmel Film Forum's purpose is to provide an opportunity for those who are making films to discuss their experiences, to encourage those who wantto become filmmakers, and to learn from professionals in the field. James would like to see this concept continue so that filmmakers who receive inspiration from these events can return at a future time to share their films. James owes special thanks to Mayor Brainard and the Carmel City Council for supporting the Carmel Film Forums. Additionally, he wants to thank Sharon Kibbe and Nancy Heck, of the mayor's office, for their assistance. Thanks to Chris Overpeck, Board President of the Indy Film Fest, the fiscal sponsor for the Film Forum grants. Sara O'Sha, Christy Walker, Samantha Wilson, and the Carmel Clay Public Library staff have embraced the Carmel Film Forums and have contributed their valuable time and resources. Thanks so much to you all. ARNIEL GI Y -:DPM "I- DocuSign Envelope ID: 15E0B74B-0FAA-491E-A7BC-00BB8A086FBF
