 This film is the answer to the challenge
of portraying the "real" Memphis. The three segments ñ An Introduction
to Memphis, An Insiders' Guide to Memphis and Why Memphis? ñ presented
by an amazing cast of 25-34 year-olds, offer an engaging and
fresh look at the city for both Memphians and non-Memphians.
For the non-Memphian the film paints a portrait of Memphis
as a vibrant, culturally rich and ethnically diverse city,
full of surprising and interesting insights. For the Memphian,
it offers the chance to reunite with the city that surrounds
you. Its easy to get caught up in a day-to-day routine, My
Memphis inspires individuals to rediscover the gems that Memphis
has to offer. |
