FilmAvocate Posted December 14, 2017 Anyone out there interested in starting a local Backlot chapter in Middle Tennessee? Lots of great opportunities in Nashville and Franklin for classic film fans. Looking forward to replies to this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade PI Posted May 30, 2018 Hi! We are in Franklin and would definitely be interested! Did you ever gain any traction? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FilmAvocate Posted May 30, 2018 Zero interest. You are the only person to respond. I am also in Franklin and go to some of the classic film offerings at the Franklin Theatre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WestSideJeff_TN Posted January 10, 2019 I would love to join. I live near Vanderbilt. I am a 1993 MFA graduate of NYU Film School, Cinema Studies. I was a student of the late film historian/collector/archivist William K. Everson, who supervised my graduate thesis. I would be happy to help organize a chapter and any meetings.

Iwatchmovies Posted March 12, 2019 Ok, well there seems to be enough interest. If we can just get the others to answer or reply maybe this can be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cathi314 Posted April 9, 2019 I just joined and would love to be in on this. I was hoping to find others interested in a chapter. I'm in South Nashville (Brentwood/Nipper's Corner). Anyone still out there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iwatchmovies Posted April 10, 2019 I'm still interested! I'm in Franklin. Surely we can find enough people to start a chapter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cathi314 Posted April 11, 2019 Good! That's two of us. Just need 3 more. I'm not sure how else to reach out, although I did put something on the Facebook page as well. Please join us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iwatchmovies Posted April 11, 2019 I posted about a month ago on this thread asking if the posters are still interested .....only response came from the PHNbear...... I'll post on social media and see if I get anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldmoviegirl Posted May 23, 2019 I just found this thread and didn't realize that people in the greater Nashville area/Middle TN were interested in starting a Backlot chapter. I'm in Mt. Juliet and would love to join! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cathi314 Posted May 23, 2019 Great, oldmoviegirl! I'm going to message others in this thread who expressed interest in the past and see if we can scrape together at least two more people to get this going. Cross your fingers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iwatchmovies Posted May 24, 2019 Great! Here's hoping we can get our 5 to start a chapter. Keeping my fingers crossed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LakeNeuron Posted June 8, 2019 I'm in Shelbyville -- only been in Backlot a little over a month, and only logged onto the forums tonight. I would love to see a local chapter! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cathi314 Posted June 8, 2019 Yay, LakeNeuron! Now we just lack one person. I fear the folks who expressed interest months or years ago don't remember to check the forum (and I don't blame them), so we'll just keep waiting. Drag a friend along if you know anyone who wants to join Backlot or is already a member! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I say we plan as though we have enough and keep asking and then hopefully we'll get our 5th person. There has to be someone out there who would like to do this with us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
