Two theatre kids from Owasso High walk into the University of Oklahoma…stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

I’ve been a fan of Lucas Booth for some time now. From sharing the stage when he played George Gibbs in “Our Town” during our sophomore year of high school, to watching him lead dozens of short films throughout college, to living one door down while he grinds through the life of a working actor in post-grad, I’ve had a front-row seat for it all.

He’s always been great, we know this to be true, but watching him hone his craft as an onscreen talent over the last few years has been one of the greatest joys of my time as a filmmaker. I like to think I can hang with him from time to time, but it’s no secret that I’m best suited for the other side of the camera. Still, I’ll take any chance I can get to perform across from my favorite actor.

And special shoutouts to all the filmmakers named above who gave us a chance to do our thing! Here’s to many more collaborations in the coming years.

Onwards and upwards.

Big news, and a quick story.

Three years ago, as part of Gaylord’s inaugural Creative Media Marketplace, there was a panel dedicated to informing students about the best ways to get their projects into festivals. This panel featured more than one deadCenter representative, which was very exciting for all us film kids. After all, it’s the most acclaimed festival in the state.

When it came time for questions, I asked, “When you’re judging a movie, what kinds of things make you say ‘no’ right away? What red flags should we be conscious of when making our movies?”

They talked about bad audio. Someone mentioned young actors playing older roles. But the consensus among the panelists was that the number one thing that festival judges are tired of seeing…is a film that opens with a shot of an alarm clock.

Folks, what you see above is the opening shot of “A Film About Toby,” the first project I’ve written that was accepted into deadCenter Film Festival.

Sure, it’s overdone. Yeah, it’s a little amateurish. But damn it, we found a way to make the alarm clock shot work.

Moral of the story? Make your movie. Put what you want in it. Your audience may have seen certain shots before. They may have seen certain story beats, or characters, or techniques…but they haven’t seen them your way.

Do your thing.

See you at deadCenter.

Onwards and upwards.

We’re going to Vegas!

Thank you to @bea.web for awarding our movie, “A Film About Toby,” with the prestigious Best of Festival award in the Film and Video category!

This April, the eight of us will be heading to the BEA Festival of Media Arts in Las Vegas to accept the award, and to meet other filmmaking students and faculty from across the country! We made this quick video to introduce the film before it screens, as well as express our gratitude for this tremendous honor.
