"Indie Memphis has a good natured urgency and freewheeling ingenuity most festivals can only hope for and wealthy festivals . . . can rarely pull off.

- Brandon Harris, Filmmaker magazine

"Indie Memphis is a fantastic, well-curated festival blessed with hometown strengths -- the city's special cultural and political history as well as its great food -- that other fests can only dream about."

- Scott Macaulay, Editor-in-Chief of Filmmaker magazine
