deadCENTER X Games: Round One Deadline is Monday!

Grab a camera, call some friends, and make a one-minute movie this weekend to win two free all-access passes to the 10th annual deadCENTER Film Festival!

deadCENTER is holding three monthly competitions leading into this year’s fest, challenging filmmakers everywhere to create a short film one minute long, based on a theme. In defiance of the shameless commercialism Valentine’s Day has become, this month’s theme is “No Love.”

If you’re a professional filmmaker, aspiring, or just a dude with a camera laying around, you owe it to yourself to take part in this competition. You’ll be amazed at what you can do when you just set a deadline and go for it.

Here’s the rules for this month’s competition:

• Films can be no longer than 1 minute.
• Film must explore the theme of “No Love,” however you choose to interpret that.
• Film must also incorporate an “X” in some way. Again, however you choose to interpret that.
• Films must be delivered on DVD on February 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 screened at this month’s deadCENTER Short Suites Live on the Plaza, at PhotoArt Studios Friday, February 12th. We will announce a winner that night and also screen the wonderful animated musical “Sita Sings the Blues.”

I know the deadline is short this time, but come on.  A bunch of people made 5 minute shorts in 24 hours this weekend. You can do it too.
