Statewide Education Tour
deadCenter Film’s free, year-round Education program brings film education and workforce development opportunities to students across Oklahoma. Through our Statewide Education Tour and deadCenter University, students learn filmmaking fundamentals, explore careers in Oklahoma’s growing film industry, and work directly with professional filmmakers.
Our programming prioritizes rural and underserved middle and high school students. Since January 2023, we have reached more than 60,000 students statewide.
As our program has grown, we have expanded from classroom presentations into more immersive, hands-on experiences, including screenwriting, filmmaking, acting, editing, and workshops led by working industry professionals.
60,000+ students reached. 77 counties. Free year-round film education.
We hope to visit classrooms in your district this school year. We are grateful for the support of education and the arts!
