Film Prize Participants
It’s a lot of hard work to make a short film, and the competition is tough. Even films that don’t make it into the Top 10 Selection benefit from having been a part of the contest. Congratulations, you made a movie! A finished film is nothing to sneeze at. It’s a lot of fun to be a part of the Memphis Film Prize family. The sense of community, the contacts you build, and the experience you gain through making your film are all invaluable parts of participating.
