oh man. It's always an incredible experience making your way through Deadcenter, but it is SUUUUUUUPER exhausting. Today we got the chance to talk to several more filmmakers and watch our favorite segment of the entire film festival, The Okie Shorts. Dear Listeners, this year is really something special. Every year the Oklahoma-made short films are fantastic, but this year the level of skill and artistic kickassery was seriously on point. There's still a chance to catch them along with several others! Go to Deadcenterfilm.org to check the schedule because we've only got one day left. After that, we will all sleep for eternity from the exhaustion of an incredible weekend.

The Superlative Light made a splash at deadCenter 2016 as one of the Okie Shorts and the Virtual Reality Experience. The short recounts the story of homeless photographer Robert Shults as he climbs out of poverty thanks to a job taking pictures of a giant lazer in the basement of the University of Texas's physics department. The documentary plays with the ideas of the relativity of time and the importance of perception in storytelling. Caleb and Alex both had the opportunity to watch the short via two completely different viewing experiences. Caleb caught the movie as a part of The Okie Shorts while Alex caught the Virtual Reality experience at the deadCenter HQ in the IAO building. The film piqued an interest in both of your hosts and and both chime in with their thoughts on the film with Alexandra bringing you a full interview with the film's director Ben Steinbauer. 

Episode 31 Bonus episode from the deadCENTER Film Festival in Oklahoma City “Yes, we are open” is the title of the short film that was on the Okie Shorts program at this year’s deadCENTER Film Festival. This is Yousef’s first film, so his reaction to the Q&A and the comments film-goers made afterward are touching.

deadCenter 2016 has an admirable line-up of feature films this year, but the real fun and experimentation is happening in the shorts. The festival has no less than 10 different Short Film categories which means if you're in attendance and you have caught at least one shorts program, you're doing it wrong.  We caught up with a few of the short filmmakers and talked to them a bit about their films.  One of the biggest categories this year was the Okie Shorts which included 8 short films from across the genre spectrum. Character drama, sci-i, documentary, it was all covered. Each of these shorts have close Oklahoma ties or were produced locally in Oklahoma. Caleb caught up with Lance McDaniel and Kyle Roberts following their debut screening. One of the more unique of the shorts was Swirl by Lance McDaniel which was essentially a 8 or so minute interpretive dance about the growing bond of two teen boys who fall in love and fight against persecution.  More in our wheelhouse here at GoodTrash was Heroes of the Realm directed by Kyle Roberts. The film features a pizza delivery girl who masters and arcade game and acquires a magical bracelet that brings the game's characters to life. It's a really fun mesh of 80s nostalgia, comic books, and even a few hints of Scott Pilgrim vs The World. It was produced as part of last year's OKC 48 Film project, meaning  the entire shrot was completed in less than two days. This short recently broke the news that they will be attending San Diego Comic-Con next which makes it particularly notable.  The Okie Shorts will doing an Encore Sunday, June 12 at 5:30pm in the Harkins Theater.  Alexandra ran into the minds behind the ENOS, a film about a 50 year old crashed space capsule.  The short was produced in Colorado and both the film's writer/director Ryan Scott and star Jesse Sikora were on hand to talk more about their the film's story and process.  ENOS will be playing as part of the Strange Encounters Shorts Saturday June 11 at 5:15pm and Sunday June 12 at 2:45.  Check out the full conversations with the filmmakers below by clicking play!

Day 2 of deadCenter 2016 really kicked the festivities into high gear with loads of meet and greets, filmmaker panels, and of course, movies! The whole GoodTrash deadCenter team gather around a small table with special guests Devon Green from the Okie Geek podcast and *award winning* producer of Electric Nostalgia, Zachary Burns.  Alexandra brings a few updates about all of the deadCenter interviews and coverage that's gone live on the website before Caleb, Zach, and Devon talk about their reactions to several of the Okie Shorts. To round out the day end discussion, Dustin talks briefly about his experience watching MAYA ANGELOU: AND STILL I RISE and Black Mountain Poets.  Tune in!
