"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

“Indie Memphis has so much that I look for in a film festival: programming with a thoughtful and idiosyncratic point of view that reflects its leadership, and reaches out to promising new filmmakers whose work has an unmistakable sense of place; an excited and eager community that attends the films in force looking to be surprised by the fare, rather than congratulated for coming out; and, oh yeah, barbecue.”
— Elvis Mitchell, host of KCRW's THE TREATMENT
