    The 2022 deadCenter Film Festival is the home to a wide variety of Okie Features from multitalented filmmakers like Cate Jones. In 2020, Jones made her directorial debut with the She’s the Eldest, a black and white dramedy with a real personal touch. She’s back this year with a similar style in her new experimental comedy inspired by actual events, Chicken House. The film is written, directed, and stars Jones who tells the story of three roommates forced to adjust to living with a new and mysterious roommate from LA. Jones continues her trend of casting friends like and other local actors to help build a tight-knit culture on set.

    In today’s episode of The Cinematic Schematic, Jones and Chicken House producer Kassie Gann join the show to tell us where Jones was inspired to make the film and how she fostered a trusting group to get the best performances from her cast. Gann will also talk about how she approached her first on-screen role and the minor impacts the pandemic had on the production.

    Chicken House is unlike any other film in this year’s line-up and one you won’t want to miss when it premieres on Saturday afternoon at 2:10 PM CST at Harkins Bricktown. Listen to the full conversation and see the movie by buying your festival pass or individual ticket today!
