Return of the Carmel International Film Festival

What People Said

I’m so honored the screenplay based on my book One Mad Apple received an Honorable Mention award. The whole film festival experience was a blast and well executed and coordinated. A special shoutout to Lawrence Roeck and Annette Andersen for reviving the Carmel Film Festival.

TOM PRATTNovember 2024

At the heart of the city of Carmel, the Festival took place in October with an impressive variety of films and divergent ages of the filmmakers. I feel honored that my film was selected. The festival offered lots of opportunities to meet and connect with people and filmmakers, as well as a friendly staff always ready to help!

CLEMENCIA MACIASOctober 2024

This festival was better than expected! Friendly staff and a beautiful venue! A good mix of films. Looking forward to next year’s festival.

ROBERT FRANCOOctober 2024

We were honored to receive the award for Best Documentary at the 2024 Carmel International Film Festival and travelled from out of state to attend. The festival was hosted in a charming venue with a friendly staff to match. Q&As were thoughtful and engaging and the Carmel team did a great job of selecting a diverse set of truly interesting films covering a range of topics. Would absolutely recommend submitting and attending!
