    Indie Memphis has so much that I look for in a film festival: Programming with a thoughtful and idiosyncratic point of view that reflects its leadership, and reaches out to promising new filmmakers whose work has an unmistakable sense of place; an excited and eager community that attends the films in force looking to be surprised by the fare, rather than congratulated for coming out;
    and, oh yeah, barbecue."
    ELVIS MITCHELL, Indie Memphis 2008 & 2009 festival juror /
    host of KCRW's "The Treatment" & Turner Classic Movies' "Under the Influence"
