Going Retro

Although I’ve only been involved with the festival for around 4 years, it’s been amazing to see how much it has grown while remaining completely indie and awesome. The “Tattoo” party has been traded up for the fantastic Friday Night Frolic. Super-duper famous people take our phone calls (or at least the message gets to their assistants). Our programs are in full color. Small steps towards making the biggest film festival in Oklahoma even bigger.

I know what you’re thinking. And yes, the parties are at the Museum of Art and Nonna’s tonight. But also, wouldn’t it be cool to get to see the spectacular growth of deadCENTER?

Well kiddos, you’re in luck. Tonight through Sunday, the Independent Artists of Oklahoma gallery (or IAO for you hipsters) is housing an interactive eXhibition spanning all 10 years of the festival. Come see the good and the not-so-good-but-so-bad-its-awesome, get a drink, sign our autograph wall, and take some pictures with bonafide celebrities. It’s your opportunity to become a part of deadCENTER history.

See you there!

Festival Secrets: The Big One

Want to know a BIG deadCENTER secret?

The All-Access Pass doesn’t allow access to one of the best, most important facets of the festival: being a volunteer. We’re not talking about your old-high-school version of volunteering. At the festival, a bit of your time and energy immediately gets you in the middle of all things deadCENTER.

If you like to be outdoors and among people, Concessions is a fun place to be. These people are some of the most popular at the festival, as they serve alcohol and soda. You have to be 21 to work the booth, though.

If you’re under 21 or maybe food and drink is just not your thing, the Box Office is where it’s at. You get to handle tickets, t-shirts and passes, and pass the famous deadCENTER passion on!

eXperience deadCENTER hardcore. Call the office at 405.246.9233 or shoot an email to info@deadcenterfilm.org and we’ll hook you up.
