Through documentary filmmaking, Carmen Vincent amplifies the human experience by drawing out people's authentic, diverse stories.
While Midwestern through-and-through, she has worked with clients and told stories from across the country and in the United Kingdom and Palestine. She is a Nikon Storytellers Scholar, a selected participant in Adobe's Creator Camp, and a proud recipient of the Best International Director award at the Georgia Documentary Film Festival for her short documentary, Forever A Champion.
She uses her experience with non-visible disabilities, including OCD and GAD, to pursue her work with creativity, empathy, and curiosity. Because of these disabilities, she is skilled at divergent thinking, attention to detail, and identifying the value in people. Carmen is committed to challenging stigma by proving that people with disabilities like hers are valuable and effective storytellers.
Carmen holds a bachelor’s degree in Digital Media from Valparaiso University and she participates in numerous professional organizations such as FWD-Doc, D-Word, RespectAbility, International Documentary Association, and more. She is eager to use her curious, empathetic perspective to tell stories that all too often go untold.
