Sorry for a late update, but Day 3 of deadCenter Film Festival was a hoot. We're feeling the festival sleepies by now. On this recap, Dalton, Dustin, and Alex sit down for a conversation with Theo and the .22 director/writer Caleb Vesely and Fry Bread Jesus director/co-star/writer Erik Sanchez. Then, our very sleepy boys sit down to talk about the comedy shorts block as well as two narrative features; Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls and Quantum Cowboys. Please, send your thoughts to be with us as we find time to rest and finish the fest. 

Welcome back friends and foes! The festival is well underway, and day two brought a lot with it. Dustin, Alex, and Dalton recap the second day of deadCenter Film Festival 2023. They discuss narrative features The Awkward Stage and Know Your Place as well as two blocks of short films; Okie Shorts 1 and Sinful Sinema Shorts.

Somewhere between a preview and a night cap, Dalton, Dustin, and Alex are here with a precap of Day 2 of the deadCenter Film Festival. In the midst of Day 2, Alex, Dalton and Dustin sit down with Caleb Masters from The Cinematic Schematic to talk festival life and preview the remainder of the day.

The deadCenter Film Festival 2023 kicked off in earnest yesterday, and Dustin, Dalton, and Alex Sanchez are continuing their coverage. Per Dalton, they consider the vibe of the opening night wrap party before Dustin recaps his watch of What Rhymes with Reason. Then, the boys discuss the Oklahoma premier of the screwball, neo-noir, comedy of manners that is Hell Hath No Fury from Okie director Zachary Burns and writer Jacob Leighton Burns.

Drop your Roy Orbison vinyl on the deck, and let down your hair, it's time to revisit THE rom-com of the 1990s: Pretty Woman. It's the movie that certified Julia Roberts as box office gold. We talk all about fairy tales, rom-coms, movie stars, the classic Hollywood style, and much, much more.
