“Carter has a strong sense of visual storytelling and a desire to tell it in a way that has emotional resonance, and this is present throughout all of his work. Additionally, Carter understands how a shot can have emotional quality! He can parse out the emotional subtext of any given moment and make the shot about that, not just a shot about the text, which is very unusual at Carter's age!”

“Carter may still be a high school student, but his work knocks the socks off many so-called professional filmmakers. He is entirely in control of his tools, one of which is his superb drone shots—not just gratuitous shots but proper storytelling shots. The day-for-night lighting Carter uses in his short The Fatal Affair is also very effective and shows he does his research!”
