Last Train to Memphis -- July schedule
July's episode promises to be hotter than a gas soaked, cross eyed, redneck trying to light a cigarette with a blow torch. Starting with a behind the scenes documentary that features some well known bands before they hit it big, to another short film by the U of M shot on VHS in 1998. And, if you're old enough to remember and have been in Memphis long enough, we have the band from the 70's that rocked Memphis hard, Creed, with their song, Firecracker, to close the show. Our host for this month is the man, the myth, the legend, Jon W. Sparks.

Film project
The SouthEast Film Association and Movie Tao Productions are working on a
first of its kind project. It is cutting edge and likely to bring attention to participants.
Movie Tao Productions is working on a screenplay to be filmed and created
entirely by the SE Film Association and Movie Tao. The screenplay is going to incorporate a six-degrees-of-separation theme. The participating filmmakers will each be sent a scene from the script to film, cast and produce. The screenplay cannot change but the filmmaker can have the action and direction go however he or she wishes.
You do not have to go anywhere. Your location will be incorporated into the screenplay.
This is not going to be a paid production. It is strictly to help generate
awareness for the SE Film Association and the filmmakers that are involved.
We are not as of yet accepting headshots from actors as we do not have all of the
locations.
Filmmakers, this is what I would need from you if you are interested in
participating:
1.) Who you are
2.) Location
3.) How much time can you commit to this project?
4.) What is your typical genre?
Send your responses to chuck@sefilmclub.com
We are in the very early stages of planning this project so if you have ideas
andsuggestions, please let us know.
Thanks Chuck

Memphis on Film -- new TV show
Victor D Lorthos recently started a new television program airing on CPN17, the Comcast public access channel, that is dedicated to interviewing people working in film and television at both professional and independent levels.
"Memphis On Film" airs each Wednesday at 9pm on channel 17, available in the Memphis metro area on Comcast cable. Website is www.memphisonfilm.com and Victor hopes to post online clips for internet streaming so people outside the viewing area can watch. The first show, airing in June, features Linn Sitler, the well-known Memphis & Shelby County Film Commissioner, and Jessica Powers, owner of Slacker Central Productions and producer/director of many fine movies. Followups with regular monthly shows will have interviews with more filmmakers and possibly also with updates on the movie biz with Linn.
Thanks!

Li’l Film Fest is a new kind of festival, highlighting local talent while showcasing interesting happenings around town.

The theme for the sixth Li’l Film Fest is “Say What? Your first amendment right to freedom of speech,” meaning that each film submission must somehow relate to that topic. The winners will each be awarded a $200 cash prize and will also be guaranteed a spot in the next Indie Memphis Film Festival. Additionally, the li'l films must not exceed 5 minutes in length.
Live From Memphis™ supports and promotes local musicians, filmmakers, artists, creative businesses, and organizations. It is our mission to connect creatives, grow opportunity, and gain exposure for our creative culture. Please help support our local community by joining, donating, or simply spreading the word.

FABA update
From Monica:
FABA! is looking to make a comeback. I am asked why? when so many people are trying to get out of Memphis and make way for California...well I can not afford to move so I just figure I will try to bring more outside opportunities here and create an outlet for local artist of all mediums. I am on the look out for serious minded individuals who would like to jump on board with me and tackle what so many have tried before, only this time...can we make it happen?
In the mean time, please enjoy a little local support for our good friends at Mo's Edge Coffeehouse.....
