    When he’s not running city council meetings, OKC Mayor David Holt works with experts across the state to build a brighter future for OKC, including the growing film industry. The job sometimes even includes representing the city globally through the power of cinema. Mayor Holt briefly appeared in the 2024 deadCenter opening night documentary Saucedo, where he meets with former Oklahoma City boxer Alex Saucedo. Though brief, the appearance highlights how much the city has supported one of Oklahoma’s finest talents.

    On this episode of The Cinematic Schematic, Holt joins the show from the 2024 deadCenter Film Festival to share his perspective on the future of Oklahoma City’s growing film industry.

    In today’s exclusive deadCenter conversation, Holt joins us to share his perspectives on:

    • How deadCenter has led the charge for Oklahoma’s growing film industry
    • Appearing in Saucedo as OKC’s spokesperson
    • Why having OKC represented behind the scenes and on the big screen is a boost to the city’s popularity
    • His most memorable filmgoing experience
