Carlos Burnell Miller is a filmmaker, writer, photographer, and educator based in South Florida. His work examines people searching for beauty, meaning, and grace within imperfect worlds: faith and doubt, inherited circumstance, desire, and the distance between an environment and an inner life.
Miller studied filmmaking at New York University’s Graduate Film Program, where he was mentored by Spike Lee. His narrative film Between Sins, shot in West Palm Beach, Riviera Beach and Belle Glade, was an Official Selection of the American Black Film Festival and was released on video on demand in 2023.
He is the author of The Ringmaster, a completed novel, and teaches film directing at Palm Beach State College. Before concentrating on filmmaking he worked extensively as a photographer; he is now returning to still photography on medium format alongside the film and writing.
His current project is Young Paradise, a documentary / docudrama set in South Florida.
