UCO and deadCenter Film Accepting Submissions for Inaugural Oklahoma Teen Film Festival

Dec. 13, 2024

The University of Central Oklahoma’s Department of Mass Communication, in collaboration with deadCenter Film, is accepting submissions for the first-ever Oklahoma Teen Film Festival. The festival will be from 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Saturday, April 5, in the Liberal Arts building, located on UCO’s campus.

The event will feature screenings of select student films, followed by discussions, Q&A sessions, educational breakout sessions, workshops and networking opportunities.

Oklahoma high school students are encouraged to submit short films of 15 minutes or less in the following categories: Indigenous, documentary, animation/stop motion and microfilm.

“An event, such as this one, is essential in providing young creators with a platform to share their stories, connect with their community and build skills that will shape the future of filmmaking and storytelling,” said Victor Caballero, director of education and outreach at deadCenter.

Submissions will be accepted through Feb. 10. More details regarding submission guidelines and tickets are available at go.uco.edu/okteenfilmfest.

The Oklahoma Teen Film Festival aims to create a space where students can compete and collaborate equally with their peers. This innovative festival originated as a concept in a UCO strategic communications campaigns course, where students worked diligently to strategize, plan and bring the event to life.
