Una Noche con deadCenter: A Collaboration between deadCenter and the OKC Latino Young Professionals

“I had the pleasure of working with deadCenter to bring awareness in the Latino community. I personally have seen so many opportunities within deadCenter and the talent found in Oklahoma City. In 2022, OKC Latino Young Professionals partnered with deadCenter to host Una Noche con deadCenter. This was an opportunity to showcase the tremendous work of deadCenter, while educating and exposing Latino professionals to the film industry. This event featured short films that were directed by Latinos, highlighted career opportunities in film, and inspired us with the creative stories. This was such a successful event, and we hope to partner once again in the future to continue to expose diverse communities to the film industry. I have been so impressed with deadCenter and have enjoyed working with the incredible leadership team. Through events like this, we can create further relationships and collaborate within our community." Miriam Campos - Founder of OKC Latino Young Professionals
