deadCENTER at SXSW: Buckle Up.

Our very own Cacky Poarch and Melissa Scaramucci are in SXSW, looking for great films, spreading the word about deadCENTER and generally being awesome. Stay tuned to this space for their dispatches.

Cacky and I can’t remember how many times we’ve made the pilgrimage south together – maybe 7 years? 8? Known universally at SXSW as “Those fun girls from Oklahoma”, we work to pile on the magic in our brief time at the fest. Seriously. One year we extended our trip to Tuesday (instead of leaving on our usual Monday) and that extra day almost left us hospitalized. These are the sacrifices we make for deadCENTER.

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.

He has the goods on the latest announcements from SXSW – clicky click.

Stories of Sundance
Ian, the deadCENTER Technical Guru of all things internety and webish, asked me to make an insightful appraisal of my recent trip to the Sundance Film Festival. Be forewarned, I’ve imbibed a veritable barrel of coffee, have been taking care of a sick child, and my humor has landed in the land of lollipops and shiny things. I did just use the words “internety” and “webish” too, so buckle up for my totally ridiculous blogtopia, Stories of Sundance.
