Event now includes announcement of 25th Annual deadCenter Film Festival ICONs and new Executive Director
OKLAHOMA CITY – deadCenter Film has announced a new date for its Silver Screen Kickoff Party, originally slated for Thursday, May 1. The event will now be held on Thursday, May 15, at Riversport OKC, from 6:30 to 10 p.m.
“A 25th anniversary kickoff party with outdoor activities calls for blue skies,” said deadCenter Film Executive Director Cacky Poarch. “We’re moving the party to give the rainy weather time to clear, and the later date also gives us space to make some big announcements to an audience of our biggest supporters.”
In addition to DJ Nymasis spinning tunes from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and a special Flashback Screening of Okie Noodling by deadCenter Film ICON Bradley Beesley, the event will feature several important announcements: the slate of Oklahoma filmmakers, the official dCFF25 ICONs and the reveal of deadCenter Film’s new executive director, the fifth in the organization’s 25-year history.
On May 1, the full slate of 200+ short and feature films to be screened at the 25th Annual deadCenter Film Festival on June 11 - 15 will go live on the Festival app, available on Apple and Android app stores. To celebrate the program launch, deadCenter Film will offer half off Festival Passes on May 1 and 2 with the code Kickoff25.
Previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date. Tickets are still available for the May 15 event in two tiers:
- VIP tickets, $50 each – include two drink tickets, dC popcorn, a BBQ slider buffet, access to the Epic Deck, reserved waterside seating, reserved rafts, and SurfOKC.
- General admission tickets, $25 each – include one drink ticket, dC popcorn, lawn games, SurfOKC, and first-come, first-served floating.
