During the 2025 fiscal year, Indie Memphis paused production of its annual film festival due to funding challenges and the need to reassess the long-term sustainability of the organization's operations. This decision was made by the organization's leadership and Board of Directors in order to responsibly steward organizational resources while developing a plan for future programming. Throughout the year, the Board remained actively engaged in strategic planning and fundraising efforts to support the continuation of Indie Memphis's mission of celebrating independent film, supporting filmmakers, and creating cultural experiences for the Memphis community. As a result of these efforts, funding has been secured for the return of the Indie Memphis Film Festival in Fall 2026, and the organization has resumed festival programming and operations. 13461 43581 43581 Kimel Fryer Executive Director 13 30000 0 0 Peter Colin Treasurer 1 0 0 0 Les Freeman Director 1 0 0 0 Kenn Gibbs President 1 0 0 0 Kellyn Gowen Director 1 0 0 0 Martha Hample Director 1 0 0 0 Penelope Huston Director 1 0 0 0 Anton Mack Director 1 0 0 0 Jennifer McGrath Director 1 0 0 0 Geoffrey Morris Director 1 0 0 0 Elle Perry Director 1 0 0 0 Whitney Raab Director 1 0 0 0 Marcy Stagner Director 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 TN Les Edwards 1871 Court Ave Memphis TN 38104 9012688654 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 331369 973964 739783 431852 63767 2540735 98874 159753 131209 83920 13461 487217 430243 1133717 870992 515772 77228 3027952 3027952 2485 122 2607 0 0 0 2485 122 2607 430243 1133717 870992 518257 77350 3030559 0.99914 0.9993 0.00086 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Filmmaker Awards;25000|Travel and Meals;996|Technology;7280|Insurance;2226|Depreciation;282|Bad Debts;34575|Other Expense;2558^Total;72917^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Description;EOY Amount^Prepaid Expense;70^Total;70^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Description;EOY Amount^Accrued Expense;542^Total;542^ Reasonable Cause Statement for Late Filing Indie Memphis respectfully requests relief from any penalties associated with the late filing of its 2025 Form 990. During the 2025 and 2026 period, the organization experienced significant operational and leadership transitions, including changes in board leadership and efforts to reorganize the organization following a temporary suspension of festival operations. In connection with these transitions, the organization encountered challenges in compiling and reconciling financial records necessary to prepare a complete and accurate return. The delay in filing was not due to willful neglect, but rather resulted from a good-faith effort by the Board of Directors and volunteers to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the organization's reporting during a period of organizational restructuring. Upon recognizing that the filing deadline had passed, the organization acted promptly to complete and submit the return. Indie Memphis has taken steps to improve its financial reporting and compliance processes and intends to remain current with all future filing obligations.
