Indie Memphis rocks with an in-de-Muck doc

The notifications are going out now and we'll soon know which projects will be screened at the Indie Memphis Film Festival. I'll post 'em here when the full lineup is released, but if you're a filmmaker and you've been notified that you're in, let me know and I'll post the news with a link.


And in the shameless but robust spirit of being self- serving, I'll start with me: My 30-minute documen- tary "Memphis Muck" will be shown Oct. 16 at 8:30 pm at the Muvico in Peabody Place. Most of the doc was taped during a March 31 concert by Muck Sticky and has music and interviews with the philosophical, feel-good, R-rated musician/entertainer/actor as well as his other guests that night: El Dorado and the Ruckus, Taco & da Mofos and Mr. Safety.
