Spillit, Indie Memphis, and Crosstown Arts are teaming up for a special Spillit/Shoot and Splice collaboration.
We’re pulling back the curtain and looking at the stories behind films as local filmmakers share their tales from set.
National film and television shows (like the Hallmark “Graceland” films & Bluff City Law) have caught on to what an incredible place Memphis is to make their work. For the September Shoot & Splice, Sharon O’Guin (Deputy Film Commissioner for the Memphis & Shelby County Film and Television Commission) will talk about the hard work the Commission is doing behind the scenes to both bring national level productions to Memphis and assist local film and television professionals. Then hear some on-set experiences from some very talented Memphians, including Kevin Brooks, Kerri Mahoney and Jil Szewski – all three currently working on Bluff City Law.
Shoot & Splice is a monthly filmmaker forum presented collaboratively by Indie Memphis and Crosstown Arts.
Join Indie Memphis and Crosstown Arts on the Kemmons Wilson Family Stage at Crosstown Theater for a panel discussion on various filmmaker opportunities, including grants, residencies, and other supporting services.

Ivan will discuss several aspects of filmmaking from an unique perspective of having worked in Brazil, Los Angeles, and now Memphis. He will also share his secrets on how to simulate a “film look” in digital cameras, why film is actually dead, and how to produce a high-quality image when operating with a low budget.
