Join Indie Memphis & Crosstown Arts for a very special and unique event: Filmmaker Speed Meetings! Think of it like Speed Dating but for filmmaking guidance and mentorship. This is a great opportunity for new/rising/new-to-Memphis filmmakers to connect with some industry professionals who are looking to hear what you are working on. These meetings are intended for filmmakers with little experience and/or are new to Memphis and have not had many networking opportunities. Advance sign-up is required (click on this event to access the sign-up form). Not all that apply may be selected to participate. Selection will depend on volume and how best the applicants can be matched with the attending professionals. If you are not selected and just want to attend Shoot & Splice as usual, fear not! Indie Memphis' own Senior Programmer Brighid Wheeler will be on-hand to discuss what she looks for when programming short films for our festival. Also, Memphis-based Production Coordinator Kevin Ivey will share insights into working in production offices as well as his recent Workforce Production Training workshops that he hosted in collaboration with the Memphis & Shelby County Film & TV Commission. |

A discussion with Crosstown Arts resident artist Yazan Fahwami Some might say that making art should be left to the professionals, but the pursuit of genuine expression is actually an important part of every person's well being and every healthy community's foundation. Practicing artmaking is a fundamental human form of communication that provides crucial mental health benefits and is more accessible than ever before. We will discuss the social value of art from the perspective of the "average" person (i.e. a person with no educational or professional credentials as an artist) and offer ideas of how art might fit into our lives in an ideal world. Hosting this discussion is Yazan, a self-taught musician originally from New York, currently a resident artist at Crosstown Arts. A short musical performance will follow the discussion. |
