deadCENTER Wrap UP
For a great summary of the increasingly very, very cool film festival, go here.
It really is amazing to think how far this festival has come in a few short years. It was an obscure gathering, at best, and I don’t think many people knew it existed when it first started (2001 I think). But since it moved downtown, it’s developed its vibe, traditions and quirks. The viewing out on the lawn at NW 4 and E.K. Gaylord is especially nice, and I’m not sure that site will be easily replaced if it’s ever turned into the home of the Greater OKC Chamber.
To all those who made deadCENTER what it is today – thank you. What you’re accomplishing is as important, in my mind, as any of the brick and mortor projects completed with MAPS. Yes, I really mean that.

I agree. My girl and I both had passes and had a blast! It really is a unique experience. We’re definitely headed in the right direction with this event as well as OKC Momentum. I attended both and they rival the festivals that I’ve seen in LA. I tell you what. When OKC doesn’t force things and just lets them happen we seem to knock it out of the park. Unfortunately, when we small town stuff and try to turn a process into a singular event, we end up with bait shops next to skyscrapers and people swimming in toilet water. I hope we soon learn the difference between excelling and attempted to “look” excellent. It’ll be the difference between us rivaling Austin and us rivaling Louisville.
