Memphis Film Festival flyer

Reminder: The pre-registration deadline for "A Gathering of Guns 4" at the Memphis Film Festival is today, May 12. All pre-registration requests and fees will need to be received today. After today, May 12 you may register at the Festival Desk for the regular registration price of $25 per day.

Reminder #2: People attending the festival registered at Whispering Woods or Fairfield Inn and need to use the shuttle service from the airport must call the hotel and make a pickup reservation at least 72 hours before your arrival. You'll need to provide the following: guest name, airline, arrival date and time, cel phone number and number of guests traveling together. Here are the phone numbers: Whispering Woods (662) 895-2941, Fairfield Inn: (662) 892-4469. The hotel cannot send a shuttle if you call from the airport when you arrive. You must have a reservation ahead of time. The shuttle service is a great convenience if everyone follows the hotel's requests, it works very smoothly.
