The 4th Annual Indie Memphis Youth Film Fest is an all-day event dedicated to showcasing short films and videos from regional and national youth.
Saturday, September 7th 2019 at the Halloran Centre at the Orpheum.
The event will also feature several presentations and workshops from high-profile guests. Prior festivals have featured talks from Memphis-based Hollywood directors Craig Brewer (Empire, Hustle & Flow, Tarzan) and Tom Shadyac (The Nutty Professor, Ace Ventura).
Workshops have included Writing & Directing, Acting on Camera, Cinematography & Lighting, Stunts, Makeup & Prosthetics, Pre-Production, Practical Audio Recording, Editing Techniques, and Making Music Videos.
The inaugural festival included a workshop with Chris Strompolos & Eric Zala, who as kids between the ages of 12 and 17 shot one of the most famous fan-films ever – a shot-for-shot no budget remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Prize money will be awarded to the winners in our Memphis Competition Screening as well as the CrewUp Mentorship Screening. More specifics coming soon!
