What are people saying about deadCENTER?
"Bar none. the best film festival in Oklahoma."
Chris Gore, Founder-FILM THREAT"deadCENTER 2007 was, hands-down, the most fun I’ve had a film festival. There have been great (well, good) Sundances, and some truly memorable SXSW experiences, but deadCENTER is the whole package: it’s well-organized, features a diverse and interesting array of films, easy access to everything, and everyone involved that I met was helpful and passionate about what they were doing. Further, they were all a hell of a lot of fun."
