Tuesday, July 9, 2024
Doors open at 6:30 pm | Show begins at 7 pm
Tickets: Free + open to the public

Indie Memphis & Crosstown Arts are excited to present a presentation and conversation on TV & screenwriting with writer Brandi Nicole (Showtime’s YOUR HONOR, Amazon’s BALLARD, Paramount+ HAPPY FACE). Brandi will discuss her writing career and provide advice and practical tips on both the creative and business sides of the film and television industry.

The daughter of a juvenile detention officer mom and 2nd strike convicted felon dad led Brandi to writing characters that explore duality. While she started off as an actor, she fell in love with the storytelling process after writing & producing a slew of short films. Recently wrapping up her role as a staff writer and recurring character on season two of Showtime’s YOUR HONOR, Brandi is currently writing on the Bosch spin-off BALLARD. In her personal life, Brandi splits her time between Memphis and Los Angeles. An advocate for criminal justice reform, she works as a licensed private investigator while in between rooms. When she’s not spending time with her three sons, you can find her decompressing via enjoying her first love: musical theatre.

Shoot & Splice is a FREE filmmaker forum presented by Crosstown Arts and Indie Memphis, featuring a wide variety of technical, educational, and unique topics of interest to the Memphis filmmaking community.

HOW IT WORKS: For one hour every 15 minutes, filmmakers will rotate to different tables to meet and talk shop with other Memphis film professionals.

This is intended for filmmakers with either little experience and/or are new to Memphis and have not had many networking opportunities.

**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.

Shoot & Splice: Intimacy on Set

Post date April 6, 2023

Crosstown Arts and Indie Memphis present Shoot & Splice: Intimacy On Set at Crosstown Theater.

Crosstown Theater
Tickets: Free
Doors at 6:30 p.m. | Event begins at 7:00 p.m.

Indie Memphis & Crosstown Arts are excited to present a panel and conversation on Intimacy Coordinating. While not a new position, intimacy coordination has recently become an on-set film industry expectation whenever actors are needed to perform vulnerable scenes that require high levels of trust and communication.

Our panel of local coordinators have worked closely with many directors, actors, and crew, while also furthering their knowledge through organizations such as Intimacy Choreographers of Color (ICOC) and the Theatrical Intimacy Education (TIE).

Intimacy Coordination covers a much broader range of cinematic scenes than one might realize – including stunt choreography – while assisting to create a safe, trusting, and creative set experience for all. To learn more about our panelists, see their bios below.
