A new force on the local filmmaking scene is throwing a party tomorrow night at Minglewood Hall. Dubbed Love Letters to Memphis, the party is being hosted by Paper Moon Films, a new production partnership founded by former high-school friends Nick Case and Ryan Watt, who are trying to fill a niche in the growing local indie film scene.
“Love Letters to Memphis” is a fundraiser for the duo’s first joint effort, award-winning local filmmaker Kentucker Audley‘s Open Five, which begins shooting next week as the first Paper Moon production. We first wrote about Open Five here.
But Watt says that in addition to raising some money towards Open Five‘s roughly $15,000 budget, he hopes the “Love Letters to Memphis” party can serve as a networking and promotional event for the larger local film scene. To that end, he says other filmmakers will be encouraged to talk about their projects as well.
The party will include a silent auction and music from the local band Star & Micey. Admission is $12. Start time is 7 p.m.
