Jeremy Carr

Jeremy Carr is an award-winning writer/director whom The Hollywood Reporter described as "someone to watch." After cutting his teeth on numerous short films while living in Brooklyn, NY, he released his debut feature in 2017 - the critically acclaimed, neo-noir thriller, Other Madnesses, which was made with support from The IFP, won ten awards on the festival circuit, and is now being distributed by Gravitas Ventures. In 2013 Jeremy moved to Los Angeles, where he accepted the position of Senior Producer & Editor at a tiny startup called MEL Films, where he was instrumental in the creation of 50 short, premium documentaries which have appeared on National Geographic, NBC's Meet The Press, The Atlantic, BuzzFeed, Slate, Washington Post, and the Today Show. The films have also screened at prestigious festivals around the world, including Cannes, Slamdance, and SXSW. Within three years, the nascent company went on to win an IDA Award for Best Short Form Series (beating out HBO/VICE, The New York Times, and The Guardian) as well as ten Vimeo Staff Picks, two Webby Honorees, and an Edward R. Murrow Award for journalism. A prolific writer, Jeremy has published several short stories, co-written a play that premiered at the New York International Fringe Festival, and in 2019 he completed his first novel. His original screenplays and teleplays have received top awards and high honors from the Academy Nicholl Fellowship, The Page International Screenplay Awards, Slamdance, Austin Film Festival, Fade In Magazine, Scriptapalooza and the Disney-ABC Writing Program. Jeremy is a graduate of the film program at Boston University and has been a guest lecturer at The University of Southern California. In his free time, he is an avid hiker, stargazer and oneironaut.
