Li'l Film Fest is a quarterly, theme-based film festival, focusing on highlighting our local talent while showcasing interesting happenings around town. Our goal is to encourage and inspire Memphis filmmakers while engaging a local audience in order to strengthen our artistic community.

"How does Li'l Film Fest work?" It's pretty easy. Basically, we here at LFM will pick a theme, then we'll announce that theme to you, and then you get to go out and make a short video (or film if you want to be fancy) using that theme - the rest of the content is up to you.

"Why is it a li'l fest?" Two reasons: One, we plan on having one every quarter - that's FOUR festivals a year. How fun is that? And two, when we say "li'l" we mean it - your film must be 5 minutes or less.

"Is there anything else I should know" Geez, you ask a lot of questions, but the answer is "Yes." There are 2 awards given at each festival, the "Audience Choice Award" and the "Jury Award" both of which receive a trophy and $200 in cash!! And if that's not enough incentive for you each winner has a guaranteed spot in the next Indie Memphis Film Festival! So keep that in mind when you're rolling those cameras.

The Li'l Film Fest is sponsored by:
