Memphis is wild at heart. He lives on the edge, pursuing his
dreams with grit. But as a young man with cerebral palsy, living
without government support, Memphis feels stuck. Saddled with their
own baggage, Memphis’ parents waver between supporting his desire
for independence and pushing him towards a more pragmatic reality.
Seneca, his best friend, struggles to reconcile her own big
ambitions with her small town life – and her relationship with
Memphis. Shot over five years, debut director David Zucker’s Your
Friend, Memphis is an intimate portrait of Memphis’ dogged
determination: to bridge the distance between the world’s
expectations and his own aspirations, no matter what.
