For a while it seemed like the boys at Singletree Productions were destined to be the Susan Lucci’s of deadCENTER; year after year they screened hilarious shorts and features to appreciative audiences, but come awards time they were always the bridesmaids.  This ended last year when their feature SIMMONS ON VINYL took home the 2010 Jury Prize, and now the filmmaking comedy team is following up with S&M LAWN CARE. Here’s the official synopsis: Read more…

Well, we’re back from Austin. SXSW was everything we hoped and more. Things got a little hectic so we didn’t provide as many blog updates as we had planned. But fortunately we managed to get together long enough to record a podcast featuring our highlights from the film festival. Check it out below or subscribe on iTunes!

Our call for entries ended last night at midnight, and we couldn’t be happier with the response. This year we received one of the highest number of films ever – not an insignificant thing at a time when people are struggling financially.

So this post is aimed especially at those of you who sent in your labor of love. You didn’t drop your film into a vacuum – someone who loves independent film will be watching your movie. In fact, several people who love independent film will see your film. Every year, we have dozens of very enthusiastic, passionate and informed volunteers who want nothing more than to see the next Winter’s Bone before anyone else, and they’re convinced it’s hiding among the hundreds of films we receive for screening.

We’re going to watch films like crazy over the next few months, and more than a few arguments will take place. Some great films won’t make it – it’s just the nature of programming a film festival. To you, the filmmaker, you just didn’t make it into the festival. To us, it was an agonizing decision, and in many cases – okay, at least for the films I champion – an agonizing argument because for a lot of films, there’s at least one person who latches on and won’t let go. And I promise, if they’re in Oklahoma City, they’re in our screening group, and they’re fighting for the films they love.

So again, we know it takes a lot to put something you’ve created out into the world, and we want you to know we’re just as excited to see it as you were to finish it.

Thank you.
