WHY MEMPHIS? RAVE REVIEWS FROM FILMMAKERS

Executive Producer/Unit Production Manager Michael Hausman:
"It's a great place to work....I haven't met but one unfriendly face since I've been here. I did meet one, in an alley, but I scared him away." (On-Location: Memphis - "The Firm", 1993; "A Family Thing", 1995; "The People vs. Larry Flynt", 1996; "American Saint", 1999.)

Director Milos Forman:
"I love Memphis very much!" (On-Location: Memphis -"The People vs. Larry Flynt", 1996).

Director Sydney Pollack:
"I've never been in a city like Memphis where they make it so easy for you and where your needs are anticipated. I've never felt so welcome. People knock themselves out for you." (On-Location: Memphis -"The Firm", 1993).

Director Joel Schumacher:
" Memphis doesn't look like other towns....It's great!" (On-Location: Memphis - "The Client", 1993).

Location Manager Michael Dellheim:
"We had no union problems. The Police Department here was the finest I've worked with-- ever. We had support of the government and the film commission and that sense of being embraced by so many different elements of the town." (On-Location: Memphis -"The Firm", 1993).
