deadCENTER Screening Leaves Us Starry Eyed

That… or perhaps it’s just a bad picture. In either case, we could not have been more thrilled with the reception we received at our two screenings at the deadCENTER Film Festival in OKC. During our first showing, you could literally hear a collective gasp from the entire audience at the very moment we had hoped for. In our case, a gasp is a wonderful thing.
Thanks to everyone at deadCENTER. We had a blast. Now on to the Oak Cliff Film Festival this weekend for a gasping good time.
An Advocate For Our Film

It’s always nice when our film gets a mention here and there. The Oak Cliff Advocate was kind enough to do just that. Check it out.
O.E. Comes Home To The O.C.
“Odds or Evens” was filmed and produced entirely in Dallas, with the majority of filming taking place in North Oak Cliff.
That’s why the cast and crew are honored to be an official selection of the first-ever Oak Cliff Film Festival June 14 – 17.
The festival’s headquarters are located inside the historical Texas Theater – the very same theater where Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
“Odds or Evens” will screen with seven other short films in the “Community Shorts” block on Sunday, June 17 at 5:30 pm at the Kessler Theater.
Odds or Evens Hits deadCENTER
We are pleased to announce that “Odds or Evens” is an official selection of the 2012 deadCENTER Film Festival in Oklahoma City. Now in its 12th year, the festival will screen more than 100 feature and short films from June 6 – 12.
In 2010, MovieMaker Magazine voted deadCENTER one of the 20 coolest film festivals.
Our short film screens Saturday, June 9 at 7:30 pm and Sunday, June 10 at 8:15 pm. Both screenings will take place at the IOA Gallery.
Odds or Evens will screen with six other shorts as part of the “R-rated For Ridiculously Awesome Shorts Block.”
Charles Baker Makes IMDB Top 20 List
Actor, Charles Baker on the set of Odds or Evens
He’s a lead actor in Odds or Evens, and after making IMDB’s top 20 Texas actors on the rise, he’s bound to be the lead in plenty of films to come.
Congrats to our very own Charles Baker for making the list.

Sundown Blog Posts Sunny Review Of Odds Or Evens
Our friends and co-producers at Ludisian Legion Entertainment sent a copy of “Odds or Evens” to a colleague at Lions Gate Entertainment. She also contributes to a blog called “Sundown United Magazine,” based in L.A. Our film was passed along to two movie reviewers who write for the blog and this is what they had to say.
“Are you not entertained?” quoting a line of one of my favorite movies “Gladiator” with Russell Crow (when he was cool) appropriately with a slant smile and smug look on my face of “I told you so!”, as my friend and fellow staff writer Omar Chavez’s mouth drops to the amazingly written conclusion of Odd or Evens “No way!” he exclaims. The same time Jordan (writer of Hale! Down To The Reel – LA life and Films) emailed me asking, “Who are these guys? Who filmed this?”
