    We’re kicking off our coverage of the deadCenter 2021 film festival with an interview featuring The Cinematropolis co-founder, Jacob Leighton Burns, to discuss his short film,”Snow Day.” In this exclusive deadCenter 2021 podcast conversation on The Cinematic Schematic, Burns joins the show to discuss what inspired him to document 2020’s major Oklahoma snowfall before adapting it for an Instagram post and, eventually, a short film.

    “Snow Day” will have its world premiere during the deadCenter 2021 film festival’s SHORTS: OKIE 1 short film block scheduled to play at OKC’s Rodeo Cinema on Saturday, June 12th at 12 PM CT before being made available as part of the virtual film festival later that day. deadCenter 2021 film festival passes are on sale now!

    The official deadCenter 2021 synopsis reads:

    On a snowy day, a young man copes with the loss of an old friend.
