No
we've
been
going
for
14
years
and
khaki
Porcha
Melissa
Sierra
mucci
ran
it
for
several
of
those
and
then
I
I
came
on
board
in
after
the
tenth
year
and
Kim
Haywood
who's
been.
Was
there
about
12
years
she
and
I.
She
and
I
run
it
and
we'd
have
our
newest
employee,
Alex
Picard.
So
we
have
three
employees.
Where
have
we
been
here
14
years
and
we
get
about
20,000
people
at
our
festival,
downtown
and
as
jun
11
through
15
this
year,
and
then
we
also
do
a
fall
education
program
where
we
take
our.
B
Was
now
we
started
actually
a
city
art,
so
our
first,
our
first
screening
was
at
City
Arts
on
at
the
state
fairgrounds
and
then
moved
up
to
you
co
and
then
we
came
down,
and
so
we've
been
with
the
museum
of
art
for
10
years.
So
they've
been
our
official
headquarters
and
they've
been
a
fantastic
partner
for
us.
How.
B
B
What
we've
done
so
because
it's
about
independent
film
I
think
at
first
we
were,
we
were
pretty
niche
and
what
we've
tried
to
do
over
the
last
14
years
is
get
more
exposure
and
we
have
great
corporate
partners
from
Devon
Chesapeake
OG&E.
We
have
and
we've
just
we.
Our
international
attention
has
allowed
us
to
bring
bigger
movies,
and
that
has
helped
us
grow
here.
Literally.
Thank.
B
Yes,
I
grew
up
in
Alvin,
then
moved
Oklahoma
City
for
junior
high
and
ended
up
graduating
from
heritage
hall
and
I
left
for
18
years
and
I've
been
back
I'm
ten
to
make
and
I
also
make
movies,
and
so
the
10
years
I've
been
back.
Here
is
probably
the
best
decision
I
ever
made,
because
I
never
knew
if
I'd
come
back
to
Oklahoma
City
as
adult
and
when
I
got
that
opportunity.
B
B
Well,
we
have
a
great
variety
of
movies.
We
have
like
this
year
will
show
one
about
Edith,
Kinney
gaylord,
a
documentary
bout,
Edith,
Kinney
Gaylord
will
have
one
about
about
George
Takei,
the
guy
from
Star
Trek,
and
so
we
get
a
lot
of
great
documentaries
that
will
play
Sundance
and
might
even
get
nominated
for
an
Oscar.
We
also
have
really
good
narrative
films.
A
third
of
our
films
are
from
Oklahoma
filmmakers,
and
so
we
do
have
a
lot.
We
have
a
very
good
emphasis
on
Oklahoma
filmmakers,
but
we
also
have
an
international
footprint
as
well.
B
So
so
we'll
have
scary
movies.
Funny
movies,
you
know
dramas
anything
so
with
100
movies.
Our
goal
is
to
make
sure
every
one
of
them
is
totally
different.
Are
these
expensive
events
to
attend
these
are
not
so
you
can
buy
an
all-access
pass
for
$125
or,
what's
great
is
if
you
have
an
allied
arts
city
card,
you
can
get
two
for
one,
so
it
ends
up
being
about
seventy
dollars
to
see
100
movies
and
go
to
five
days
with
a
party
which
is
great
that
we
also
have
a
student
discount
and
at
our
sponsors.
B
Obviously,
if
you
work
for
one
of
our
sponsors,
they
get
two-for-one
discounts
and
said:
there's
a
there's,
a
lot
of
ways
to
enjoy
it.
You
can
also
buy
an
individual
ticket
for
ten
dollars
and
that
and
if
you
haven't
been
that's
a
great
way
to
try
it
out
and
just
see
what
you
like-
and
we
also
show
a
ton
of
movies
saturday
and
sunday
at
harkins,
we'll
have
four
screens
so
there
will
be
20
movies
a
day
playing.
So
there's
going
to
be
something
you
like.
B
B
Movie,
you,
then,
you
just
go
to
the
theater
and
buy
a
ticket
once
you
get
there
and
how
that
works
is
all
the
pass
holders
get
in
first
and
then
we
sell
the
remaining
seats.
So
if
it's
so
like
will
play
a
nick
offerman
movie
this
year
and
every
year
his
movies
sell
out
because
he
and
megan
mullally
are
so
popular
here,
and
so,
if
you're
looking
for
a
nick
offerman
movie,
you're
going
to
need
to
get
lined
very
early.
But
for
some
of
you
know
some
of
the
some
of
the
more
challenging
documentaries
are.
A
B
Is
we
partner
with
the
cowboy
Hall
of
Fame
and
I'm
red
earth
and
we
go
on
a
statewide
tour
to
get
people
excited
about
coming
to
Oklahoma
City
for
two
weeks
worth
of
events,
and
rhetoric
obviously
has
been
amazing
for
Oakland
City,
as
has
the
cowboy
hall
of
fame
and
western
heritage
museum,
and
so
our
goal
is
just
to
create
partnerships
that
help
that
helped.
All
of
us
work
together
to
create
more
excitement
in
Oklahoma
City
have.
A
A
B
So
we'll
we'll
have
said
the
best
thing
about
attending
a
festival
is
that
we
will
have
the
filmmakers
for
just
about
every
movie,
we'll
have
a
lot
of
the
famous
actors
and
they
all
come
to
town,
because
it's
a
lot
like
an
Arts
Festival.
It's
a
celebration
of
the
art
of
film
and
so
a
lot
of
famous
people
and
a
lot
of
filmmakers
come
into
town
to
talk
about
their
work.
And
so
you
do
really
get
a
different
level
of
watching
movies,
because
you
have
the
people
that
created
there
to
talk
to
you.
So.
A
B
There
definitely
are,
and
so
one
thing
that
we've
done
is
we've
added
at
oklahoma,
film,
icon
award
and
this
year
we're
giving
for
we're,
giving
one
to
Jill
Simpson
who's,
the
Film
Commission
Oklahoma
that
just
got
the
rebate
past
Fritz
Kier.
She
started
the
program
at
OU,
Triple,
C
and
O,
see
you
Matthew
mungol,
who
won
the
Oscar
for
for
Dracula
and
does
special
effects
makeup
and
then
and
wes
studi,
the
Native
American
actor
and
the
reason
we
bring
them
it
is.
B
We
have
we
have
a
program
where
we
have
50
high
schools
come
for
free,
high
school
students,
and
then
we
have
all
these
icons
lead
classes.
So
they're
going
to
lead
a
class
for
rural
high
school
students
on
how
do
you
make
monster
makeup
like
Dracula
and
then
Fritz
is
going
to
do?
How
do
you
do?
How
do
you
direct
a
movie,
and
then
we
also
get
other
visiting
filmmakers
to
come
and
talk
there,
but
we
have
public
forums
at
the
Museum,
Friday
and
Saturday.
That
will
allow
you
to
come
and
you
here
about.
B
How
do
you
make
movies
in
Oklahoma
we'll
have
a
conversation
with
with
wes
studi
and
sterlin
harjo
who's,
a
Sundance
award-winning
filmmaker
from
here
that
Bob
Blackburn
Olene,
and
so
we
do
have
panels
on
native
filmmaking
on
filmmaking
in
Oklahoma
on
how
do
you
get
a
movie
distribute
distributed
and
all
of
that's
on
our
schedule,
that's
released
today
on
our
website.
You.
A
B
Well,
and,
and
what
makes
it
a
little
bit
easier
is
that
86,
those
movies
are
short
films,
and
so
you
so
you
may
see
15
short
films
at
a
time,
but
I
think
if
you
can
go
to
two
or
three
movies
a
day,
you're
going
to
love
it
and
we're
going
to
have
a
great
wide
variety
for
you
and
there's
the
information
on
the
website.
Information
on
the
website.
It.
A
A
I
appreciate
that
and
I
hope
everyone
will
have
their
eye
set
on
jun
11th
to
the
15th.
The
weather
should
cooperate,
there's
going
to
be
outdoor
movies,
and
certainly
most
of
the
venues
in
town
will
be
showing
films
as
the
14th
annual
dead
center
film
festival
returns
to
Oklahoma
City
and
we're
very
grateful
to
the
staff
over
it
at
the
dead
center
film
place,
and
especially
to
you
Lance.
No
thank
I
appreciate
it
all
right,
we'll
have
more
on
the
mayor's
magazine.
After
this,
the.
C
Median
scene
modes,
the
leaves
are
raped
and
the
flowers
are
planted.
The
beautification
efforts
of
neighborhood
volunteers
really
make
a
difference.
Unfortunately,
there's
still
something
out
there.
Cluttering
neighborhood
street
corners,
it's
illegally
placed
signs,
but
now
residents
fed
up
with
signs
and
placards
littering
poles.
The
ground
and
everywhere
in
between
in
their
neighborhood,
can
sign
up
to
become
a
sign.
Sweet
volunteer,
sign,
sweet
volunteers
must
be
at
least
18
years
old
and
Oklahoma
City
resident
and
a
member
of
a
participating
neighborhood
association.
A
Welcome
back
to
the
mayor's
magazine,
I'm
Mick,
Cornett,
the
mayor
of
Oklahoma
City,
and
in
this
segment
we're
going
to
continue
our
theatrical
theme
by
talking
about
the
Academy
of
contemporary
music,
which
is
located
right
here
in
Oklahoma
City
and
with
us.
We
have
Scott
Booker,
who
looks
after
the
ACM,
and
we
also
have
camera
Neil
who's,
a
young
artist
performer,
yes,
and
he's
going
to
be
playing
something
for
us
at
the
end
of
the
show.
A
A
Scott,
we
ought
to
probably
start
with
you,
because
you
were
kind
of
there
at
the
beginning
when
ACM
was
just
kind
of
an
idea,
a
crazy
idea
to
son
that
the
suburban
university
would
want
to
create
this
music
school
that
could
rival
any
in
the
world
and
not
do
it
on
its
campus,
but
instead
go
into
an
entertainment
district
in
downtown
Oklahoma
City
and
just
try
to
create
space
for
itself.
Well,.
D
Yeah
I
mean
basically,
you
know
the
idea.
The
ACM
was
already
in
existence
in
England
and
we
just
brought
it
over
here
had
been
going
for
a
while,
and
we
thought
with
the
amount
of
talent,
the
amazing
amount
of
talent
that
comes
from
Oklahoma,
there's,
no
reason
why
we
can't
help
create
you
know
an
infrastructure
to
let
a
program
like
that
grow
here.
Yeah.
A
But
the
relationships
that
are
necessary
to
make
that
a
serious
accomplishment
of
you.
First
of
all,
you
have
to
get
the
university
to
agree
to
it
and
then
yeah
and
that's
no
easy
thing,
and
then
you
have
to
move
into
and
get
with
the
city
leaders
in
Oklahoma
City,
the
business
community,
the
bricktown
all
of
those
and
then
you
have
to
go
out
and
create.
You
know,
create
demand
and
try
to
figure
out
how
to
make
all
the
mechanics
work.
A
D
We
already
had
the
talent
we
just
didn't,
have
the
focus-
and
I
believe
the
ACM
kind
of
became
a
catalyst
or
a
focus
point
for
the
music
industry
to
work
around
much
like
the
film
industry
and
dead
center
and
from
there
we've
been
able
to
help
talent
grow
and
we're
starting
to
get
bands
that
are
getting
signed
to
record
labels.
Just
like
cameron
and
horse
thief
and
artists
that
we
had
it.
D
We
had
a
young
student
graduate
with
a
two
year
degree
went
to
Los
Angeles,
produced
in
co,
Rhoda
Kelly,
Clarkson
single
and
won
a
Grammy
last
year,
Daunte,
Jones
and
burn
and
rest.
So
you
know
we're
not
only
you
know.
Not
only
do
we
have
the
idea
behind
it,
but
we
have
the
proof
that
as
a
business,
this
can
work
and
that's
ultimately,
what
our
program
is
about
is
about
tying
the
arts
into
business
yeah.
A
So
if
you're
a
young
person-
and
you
want
to
be
a
performer
they'll
help,
you
refine
your
craft
exactly
if
you're,
if
you
want
to
produce
they'll,
give
you
opportunities
produce
if
you're
a
songwriter
and
and
is
there
any
aspect
of
the
music
industry
that
that
you
guys
couldn't
be
a
part
of
the
story.
No.
D
A
D
He
can
speak
to
it
as
well.
You
know,
probably
even
better
having
gone
through
the
program,
but
we
cover
performance
production
and
music
business
and
every
student
has
to
take
music
business
classes.
So
when
you
go
out
there
you're
prepared,
you
know
you
hear
so
many
great
you
know
stories
from
the
past
of
like
all
this
blues.
Artists
sold
all
of
his
songs
for
a
quarter.
You
know,
and
none
of
our
students
are
going
to
do
well.
A
E
C
E
E
Know
I
think
once
we
actually
moved
up
here
and
did
it
everyone,
you
know,
really
saw
the
line
of
ACM
and
really
turned
for
it
because
I
mean
at
first.
Everyone
was
like:
it
was
a
new
program.
No
one
really
knew
what
it
was.
But
now
it's
you
know,
like
you
said
internationally,
no
man
I
mean
there's
articles
coming
out
all
over
the
world
about
ACM
and
I.
Think
now
it's
kind
of
like
oh,
maybe
got
an
eye
on
that
at
the
beginning.
You.
A
E
C
A
E
Talent
is
on
campus
they're,
all
sorts
of
town
I
mean
there's
country,
artists
and
there's
rap
artist,
there's
indie
artist.
I
mean
it's,
it's
insane
how
many
there's
producers
that
are
building
studios
in
oklahoma
city
right
now,
there's
managers
there's
literally
every
part
of
the
music
in
the
that's
cool
and.
E
E
He
had
a
master
class
with
Simon
Raymond
who
came
to
the
school
and
he
gave
this
master
class
and
we
talked
a
little
bit
afterwards.
I
gave
him
our
CD
and
then
he
seemed
interested.
So
we
invited
him
out
to
the
South
by
Southwest
showcase.
That
was
an
ACM
showcase
and
from
there
he
invited
us
over
to
UK
to
play
festival
and
then,
after
the
UK
festival
assigned
us
a
record
deal.
So
all
those
links,
kind
of
started
right
at
the
home
of
a
see
ya,
signing.
E
A
E
We've
actually
signed
a
worldwide
deal
with
them
and
we
just
went
up
to
New
York
City.
The
record
just
came
out
last
week
and
you
know
we're
seeing
it
all
over
the
nation
right
now
in
distribution.
I,
my
cousin
lives
in
Nashville
and
he's
you
know,
walked
into
the
record
store
records
for
day
and
called
me.
I
was
like
hey
your
vinyl
sitting
here
on
the
premier
shelf.
It
was
just
like
so
insane.
E
They
they
do
all
sorts
of
stuff.
For
us,
I
mean
we've
been
on.
Npr
we've
been
on
spin
we've
been
on
paste
magazine,
been
on
all
these
different
publications
and
even
in
the
UK
we've
been
on
the
Guardian
and
stuff
like
that.
So
the
labels
been
incredible
for
us
and
I,
don't
think
any
of
it
would
have
happened.
Had
we
not
moved
up
here
and
gone
through
a
cm
scotchy.
A
Spent
a
lot
of
time
and
most
famously
with
with
the
flaming
lips
and
know
a
lot
about
the
music
industry,
and
we
all
see
this
huge
pie.
We
see
a
lot
of
money
that
goes
into
the
entertainment
industry,
but
gets
divided
up
amongst
a
lot
of
groups,
though.
Obviously
the
record
label
has
to
make
their
money
that
producers
the
songwriters
the
performers
themselves.
How
do
what
would
would
surprise
the
average
person
about
how
the
pie
is
divided
up
on
the
business.
D
D
Millionaires
but
the
majority
of
the
artists
out
there
making
a
living
doing
this
are
not
reaping
those
kinds
of
benefits,
but
you
know
there
may
be
making
thirty
forty
fifty
sixty
thousand
dollars
a
year
having
a
great
job,
doing
something
they
love
for
their
whole
life.
And
that's
really.
My
goal
with
the
school
is
to
help
as
many
people
as
possible
have
a
career,
doing
something
they
love
and
maybe
everyone
small
they
become
a
multi-millionaire
and
become
the
next
Miley
Cyrus
or
whatever,
but
I
mean,
and
you
could
speak
to
this
I
mean.
D
E
E
D
You
know
you
spoke
about
the
digital
world
earlier
and
that
certainly
has
changed
the
scope
of
how
people
make
money.
So
now
it's
kind
of
gone
back
to
making
more
money
playing,
live
and
creating
music
that
people
want
to
use
for
commercials
or
putting
in
movies,
and
you
can
make
a
lot
of
money
doing
that
as
well,
and
people
are
still
selling
records,
just
not
as
many
Madonna
used
to
sell
30
million
records
now
she's
selling
three
or
four
million
still
a
lot
of
Records.
That's
still
a
lot
of
money.
D
You
know,
and
and
once
people
kind
of
have
that
mindset
of.
Like
look.
You
know
it's
kind
of
shifted
back
to
kind
of
the
amount
of
records
that
people
bought
60s
or
the
70s
versus
what
happened.
There
was
a
very
brief
period
when
people
bought
multiple
millions
of
Records
and
it's
it's
moved
back,
but
you
can
still
have
a
great
life
and
a
great
living
travel
the
world.
How
many
times
have
you
been
to
Europe?
Now,
we've.
E
D
E

I
was
Restless,
you
were
hopeless,
I
was
hoping
we
could
be
either
certain
around
so
fragile,
so
beautiful,
like
an
angel
dripping
down.
I
must
go
pick.
My
body
like
a
good
girl
I
need
someone
to
tangle
these
words
in
my
head
and
how
I
soon
with
tho.
I
knows
I
am
stranded
underneath
the
grip
of
the
world.
F
F
Go
ahead
now,
either
way
from
here,
I'll
be
had
and
then
they'll
sell.
Our
Father
is
real
I'm
just
doing
what
I
feel
is
right
at
him
from
a
gene,
so
I
can
blend
in
the
light
you're
a
snake,
but
you
stuck
your
teeth
in
me:
I'm
not
dying,
but
it's
hurting.
My
reasoning,
question
who
now
question
my
disbelief:
it
a
statue
that
keep
staring
back
and
me
ask
him
questions.
Do
you
believe
in
God?
He.
C
F
F
Here
we
are
now
I
think
I
found
myself.
We
won't
know
until
the
final
date
is
in
vail,
but
I'm
waiting
for
that
special
girl,
too
I
want
herself
for
the
rest
of
the
world.
Try
my
spirit.
Now
it
tastes
real
sweet,
like
the
water
dripping
out
from
the
stream
on
these
go
to
bed
now.
I
hope
you
sleep
real!
Well,
won't
you
remember
me
when
they
ask
you
to
tell
who's
the
man
now
in
though
I
cold
on
the
west
coast.
