deadCENTER Film

You there – the procrastinating filmmaker! Deadline for submissions is NEXT WEEK.

Oh wow. I know it’s not just us – March has officially snuck-up on everyone and is about to catch us with our time-wasting pants down. But here’s the deal. The deadline for submitting your film for this year’s deadCENTER film festival is March 3rd. Yeah, as in, NEXT WEEK, WEDNESDAY MARCH 3rd is our submission deadline.

So bust out the stiff envelopes, packing tape, or carrier pigeons and get your movie into our hot little hands. We want to see them. All of them.

Details for submitting are at the very top of our home page, and you’re already on our website. So you have no excuses. Get on it, people.

X Games, Round Two

Round two of the deadCENTER X Games are underway!  Make a One Minute Movie and your film could win two free all-access passes to the 10th annual deadCENTER Film Festival.

Here are the ground rules:

• Films can be no longer than 1 minute.
• Film must illustrate the theme of “March Madness” however you choose to interpret that.
• Film must also incorporate an “X” in some way.  (cause it’s the 10th deadCENTER…get it?) Again, however you choose to interpret that.
• Films must be delivered on DVD on March 8th, no later than 5:00pm at Coffee Slingers, 1015 N. Broadway Ave in OKC.  We’ll have a dropbox set out for you.
• Please include contact information directly on the disk.
• Select entries will be featured on the deadCENTERfilm.org website; if you have a YouTube or Vimeo account, send us a link so we can show you the love.
• The winner of the passes will be announced on March 12th.

Now get shooting!

This is it, people!

Hello and welcome to the new and improved deadCENTER website! As you can see, this isn’t just a fresh coat of paint, it’s a complete rebuild. We’ve tried to make it easier to navigate, better for mobile devices, and hopefully pretty as well. The front page is similar to what you’ve grown to know and love from our old site – the latest news and announcements about the festival. This page, however, is what we’re really excited about. We’ve named it “filmCENTRAL” because that’s precisely what we are aiming for. We want this to be the central location for discussion about independent film and culture in Oklahoma.
