DAY ONE - Saturday, August 26
SESSION 1 - FROM GREENLIGHT TO ACTION: GETTING TO SHOOT (Est. 2
Hours / Lecture)
Failure to plan is a plan for failure." Getting a project from an idea to principal
photography requires intense creative and logistical planning. Consideration must
be given to hiring crew, designing shots, casting roles, building the creative scope,
deciding where to film, how the cast and crew will be fed, and where to acquire
the equipment. Countless other decisions are all part of the pre -production
dance" that must be uniquely choreographed with many team members. This
lecture will provide an overview of traditional film or TV timelines from pre -prep
through wrap with key benchmarks that will help your shoot go smoothly.
SESSION 2 - COLLABORATION FOR CREATIVE VISION (Est. 1 hr / Lecture)
It can take an army to make a motion picture. Whether you have a crew of 30+ or
are personally wearing 30+ hats, each position on a film or television crew is vital
to the creation process. Based on the traditional Hollywood structure, this session
reveals the hierarchy, scope, and responsibilities of the above -the -line and below -
the -line artistic creative and support crafts that bring a project's creative vision to
life. The discussion includes why each crew position is necessary and how to
navigate hiring compromises, as well as how to anticipate the benefits and
challenges when working with various crew sizes.

SESSION 3 - THE BEHIND -THE -SCENES: THE PRODUCTION OFFICE (Est.
2hr / Lecture / Hands-on)
From pre -production through wrap, the Production Office is the core of any film or
TV production and is vital to the success of any show. It is the central
communication center and the problem -solving nucleus. Every member of the
cast, crew, and staff will be in communication with the Production Office. The
Production Coordinator manages the production office, supervises the production
office staff, and facilitates the needs of every department on the show. It is
important to learn the responsibilities of the Production Office and how the team
interacts with every department to keep your show running smoothly. The
Production Coordinator and their team are the most sought-after local first hires.

SESSION 4 - FROM THE SCRIPT TO THE SET: COMMUNICATION IS KEY
Est. 1.5hr)
Movies and Television require much paperwork to communicate the many aspects
of production needs, creative or otherwise. The script is the foundation for the
project. The call sheet tells everyone what time to report to work. Other paperwork
dictates the who, what, where, and when. Deciphering it can be daunting and
confusing. This session will review the process of breaking down a script into its
production elements, how it is translated into typical Hollywood production
paperwork, an overview of how to read it, and what it is for and why. Consider it
movie -making literacy 101.

ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL IMPACT
In 2022, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation and Filmindy (https://
www.filmindy.com/incentives) announced a new Film and Media Tax Credit Program.
Designed to entice large content creators to the state, the success of this program will lead to
job creation and an influx of in -state revenue. In addition, the economies in states like Georgia,
Oklahoma, Montana, and Ohio have benefited from the growth of their local film and television
industries. The Carmel Film Forum aims to take the lead in training and educating residents to
be qualified for employment in the industry.
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 creative and craft professionals such as directors, producers, .
screenwriters, cinematographers, and production crew will be able to learn from and network
with other content creators in the community. In addition, patrons of the Carmel Clay Public
Library with an affinity and curiosity for filmmaking are welcome to participate.

responsibilities required to deliver a successful workshop.

media outlets, relevant local filmmaking organizations, the surrounding cities, and educational
institutions, including high schools and colleges. In addition, event producers will personally
promote the event via their social media outlets and websites.
A media release will be sent to public officials, newspapers (IndyStar, Carmel Current, CarmelMonthly), radio/television stations, arts organizations (Indy Arts Council, etc.), local social media
promoters, and local websites that promote cultural events in Indiana (such as flmindy.com,

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 deep diving into the study of budgeting and
funding of their films.
In 2019, we produced "Making the Big Picture: Preproduction and Crowdfunding,"
highlighting 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 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
2
DocuSign Envelope ID: 6D6D823E-F9F7-4AB2-B44D-18D8EA21DFAE
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.
The 2022 Carmel Film Forum returned as a free event at the newly renovated main
Carmel Clay Public Library's new Community Room with the "Big Picture Pinball Show
and Narrative Design Workshop for Games and Movies." The Film Forum was designed
in three sessions and was presented publicly over two days to more than 260
community members, with 100 people signing up to watch a LIVE stream of the event.
Session One was a storytelling workshop conducted by Nathan Bechtold, President of
Indiana Filmmakers Network. Participants learned step-by-step world -building
techniques and how to create immersive stories with compelling characters, locations,
and situations. Session Two began with an interview with Mike Burgess, the Executive
Producer of the "Skill Shot, BABY! Pinball Epiphany" short film. The producer, writer,
and director of the film, local filmmaker James Moriarty, premiered the film. An actors'
table read was held, performing the feature-length screenplay on which the short film
was based. Session Three had a charitable theme. First, Rupert Boneham was
interviewed about his television career on the reality show "Survivor" and his mission to
start Rupert's Kids Arcade, which helps at -risk young people and gives them
employment opportunities and mentorship. Filmmaker, Imoto Harney, premiered her
new documentary about Project Pinball. This nonprofit charity places pinball machines
in Children's Hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses to introduce therapeutic benefits
to kids of all ages. After the documentary's screening, Zan Aufderheide, a comedian,
and charity auctioneer, who helps nonprofits across the country, interviewed Imoto
Harney and the founder of Project Pinball, Daniel Spolar, about Imoto's documentary.
film and Daniel's charity.

To Whom it May Concern:
My name is Chris Overpeck and I have served as a board member for The Bigger
Picture Film Group (DBA Indy Film Fest) since 2016. We have had the pleasure of
working with James Moriarty and the Carmel Film Forum since 2017.
James' work with the Carmel Film Forum has been outstanding. His mission and ours
are the same — to connect with our community through the power of film. I can
confidently say that James has had a very positive impact in the Carmel community
and beyond) and has inspired many to pursue their passion.
We at the Bigger Picture Film Group are proud to work with James and can't wait to see
him execute another successful Carmel Film Forum.
Sincerely,
Chris Overpeck

Dear Carmel Arts Grant Committee,
The Carmel Clay Public Library hopes to collaborate with James Moriarty of Moriarty
Media on the Carmel Film Forum in 2023. This has been a successful partnership
since the first Film Forum in 2017. In 2022, we had more than 260 community
members participate in the event at our newly reopened Main Library. We feel the
proposed sessions for 2023, and the industry professionals presenting them, will
provide a unique educational experience for filmmakers in Carmel and the greater
Central Indiana area.
The Film Forum supports the library's mission of inspiring lifelong discovery,
facilitating collaboration, and connecting people with resources, and gives us the
chance to promote the filmmaking resources in our newly expanded Digital Media
Lab. This partnership has become a highlight of CCPL's programming year, and we
hope to once again have the opportunity to be part of bringing creative people from
the Carmel community together for this project.
Sincerely,
Sara O'Sha

To Whom It May Concern:
As a 20+ year film and television production professional, I am writing in support of James Moriarty and the
Carmel Film Forum. James is a staple in the Carmel community and is continually a "go -to" resource for
companies wanting to produce professional local content. His passion for the arts is demonstrated in his work
and his desire to continually give back to the community that has supported him. The Carmel Film Forum has
proven highly beneficial to the community and is attended with enthusiasm by students, professionals,
hobbyists, and the curious every year. The forum offers a unique "in -your -backyard" glimpse of one of the
most intriguing industries, film and television production.
This 2023 Carmel Arts Grant proposal is designed to present practical "how-to" knowledge on traditional
Hollywood production practices that can be used by local content creators. As a Directors Guild of America
and Producers Guild of America member my global Line Producing and Production Managing experience will
be directly incorporated into the Forum programming, allowing for the community to learn applicable skills
that will improve their content, their collaboration, build confidence, and essentially make the industry more
accessible.
During my time at Carmel High School, I was actively involved in the Drama and Technical Theatre program.
Weekends were spent volunteering and learning behind -the -scenes in theatres at CHS and around
Indianapolis, including Civic, Footlights, TOTS and the Phoenix. My passion for the arts runs deep and to my
core. I am overjoyed to help provide this rare and unique opportunity to the community that started my
career.
Thank you for your ongoing support of the Carmel Film Forum.

The 2022 Carmel Film Forum returned as a free event at the newly renovated main Carmel Clay
Public Library's new Community Room with the Big Picture Pinball Show and Narrative Design
Workshop for Games and Movies. The Film Forum was designed in three sessions and was
presented publicly over two days, with 100 people signing up to watch a LIVE stream of the
event. Session One was a storytelling workshop conducted by Nathan Bechtold, President of
Indiana Filmmakers Network. Participants learned step-by-step world -building techniques and
how to create immersive stories with compelling characters, locations, and situations. Session
Two began with an interview with Mike Burgess, the Executive Producer of the "Skill Shot,
BABY! Pinball Epiphany" short film. The producer, writer, and director of the film, local filmmaker
James Moriarty, premiered the film. An actors' table read was held, performing the feature-
length screenplay on which the short film was based. Session Three had a charitable theme.
First, Rupert Boneham was interviewed about his television career on the reality show
Survivor" and his mission to start Rupert's Kids Arcade, which helps at -risk young people and
gives them employment opportunities and mentorship. Filmmaker, Imoto Harney, premiered her
new documentary about Project Pinball. This nonprofit charity places pinball machines in
Children's Hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses to introduce therapeutic benefits to kids of
all ages. After the documentary's screening, Zan Aufderheide, a comedian, and charity
auctioneer, who helps nonprofits across the country, interviewed Imoto Harney and the founder
of Project Pinball, Daniel Spolar, about Imoto's documentary film and Daniel's charity.
