The 14th annual deadCENTER Film Festival begins tonight and I, for one, am excited to see how much the fest has grown and matured over the past decade or so. I still remember when it was just a pup, showing various outré flicks down at the State Fairgrounds, only the most elite movie geeks in the Metro aware of its presence.
Since I’ve been gone from Oklahoma, the thing has blown-up into a trendsetting venue for not only Okie filmmakers, but also as a burgeoning national and international outlet for films looking for a little more exposure in the buckle of the Bible Belt, featuring numerous movies we'd never see otherwise.
