    One of the unexpected outcomes of the pandemic was the way people quickly connected across the globe via the internet. Through those remote connections, real-world relationships were built. With this year’s deadCenter returning to the entirely in-person experience, filmmakers and film lovers from across the country traveled to the heart of OKC to share and experience stories big picture stories with Okie audiences.

    Among the out-of-towners to hear about deadCenter during the pandemic were the Furloughed Film Talks podcast hosts, Alex and Ryan Kelly. After making their first trip to deadCenter in 2021 and first appearing on The Cinematic Schematic last year, the Kelly brothers returned to the festival this year to continue their mission to interview cinematic storytellers from all walks of life.

    In today’s episode, Alex Kelly rejoins the show to look back at his deadCenter 2022 experience, including what films they saw, which friends they were able to reconnect with, what the 2022 press room experience was like, and what deadCenter parties blew their expectations out of the water. All of this before sending a special “Thank You!” shout out to the deadCenter staff.

    Tune in to hear the highlights from Furloughed Film Talks!
