Craig Brewer: Hustle & Flow |
| | DJay is a Memphis hustler who spends most days in a parked Chevy philosophizing about life while Nola (Taryn Manning), turn tricks in the backseat.

DJay however is in the midst of a midlife crisis; he quietly harbors dreams of becoming a respected rapper. When he learns from a local club owner, Arnel (Isaac Hayes), that rap mogul Skinny Black (Ludacris), is rolling through town, DJay decides to record his flow with the hopes of slipping his demo to Skinny. With little help from his friends and "family" DJay sets in motion the hustle of his life, and galvanizes the lives of those around him as they learn that "Everybody's gotta have a dream." |

Kentucker Audley: Team Picture |
| | From Memphis to Chicago to somewhere in Arkansas, Kentucker Audley's homegrown debut TEAM PICTURE is a deadpan comic odyssey about that moment before adulthood when you don't need an excuse to quit your job, only the next five minutes matter, and sometimes you fall for the wrong girls... shucks!
Praised as one of Filmmaker Magazine's 25 New Faces of Independent Film, Audley stars as an aimless young musician who passively floats through his own life, most days spent writing songs or lounging by the kiddie pool in the yard. Along with his self-proclaimed "tall guy with a really cool personality" of a roommate (Timothy Morton), these awkwardly hilarious neo-slackers just go with the flow, even in the throes of a break-up, a brand new fling, or an open-mic performance. The Boston Phoenix calls it "a lazy, Memphis afternoon of a movie... TEAM PICTURE creates a world and the lives in it and wisely leaves them all hanging. |

William Eggleston: William Eggleston In the Real World |
| | In 1976, William Eggleston’s hallucinatory, Faulknerian images were featured in the Museum of Modern Art’s first one-man exhibition of color photographs. It is rare for an artist of such stature to allow himself to be shown as unguarded as Eggleston does in Michael Almereyda’s intimate portrait. The filmmaker tracks the photographer on trips to Kentucky, LA and NY, but gives particular attention to downtime in Memphis, Eggleston’s home base. The film shows a deep connection between Eggleston’s enigmatic personality and his groundbreaking work. |

Lil Film Fest: Li'l Film Fest 8 |
| | The theme of Li'l Film Fest 8 is RESOLUTIONS, you know, the New Year's kind. I know, I know, you will cut back on the partying and staying out so late, you will exercise more and loose weight, you will remember to call your mother on her birthday, you will stop watching so much television, you will eat more veggies, and of course you'll spend more time with the dog. But surely you can manage to squeeze in a few hours to make a film, right...?
Please read aloud:
"I resolve to make a film for Li'l Film Fest 8. I will capitalize on this unique opportunity to hone and improve my filmmaking abilities. I will have fun while contributing to the success of the Memphis filmmaking community. I resolve to make a film for Li'l Film Fest 8." |
