In Memphis, storytelling has always been part of the city’s creative DNA. From music to film, it’s how stories are shared, voices are heard, and communities are built. For filmmaker Noah Glenn, that belief led to the creation of something deeply intentional: Like You Film Club.
After more than a decade in Memphis’ film community, Glenn noticed his work naturally shifting toward stories for younger audiences. That path took him to children’s film festivals across the country—experiences that were not only creatively inspiring, but also emotionally impactful.
“I kept thinking how meaningful these experiences were,” Glenn shared. “And I wished something like that existed back in Memphis.”
So, he built it.
Like You Film Club is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting the emotional growth and mental wellness of kids and families through film. But it’s not just about screening movies—it’s about transforming the way people experience them.
In a time when watching a film often means sitting alone or scrolling on a small screen, Like You Film Club creates space for something different. Each gathering invites families to come together, watch with intention, and engage beyond the credits.
Every event begins with an introduction that provides context and themes to look for, encouraging audiences to think more deeply about what they’re watching. After the film, the experience continues with interactive activities designed to spark conversation, connection, and creativity.
It’s a simple but powerful idea: film as a shared experience, not just entertainment.
By bringing people together in this way, Like You Film Club is helping to build a stronger sense of community in Memphis. One where families can connect, kids can grow emotionally, and stories can open the door to meaningful conversations.
For Glenn, it all comes back to creating space for reflection, for connection, and for belonging.
And in Memphis, that’s exactly where the soul lives.
