DIY CINEMA

The “New Talkies” of the last decade have been defined as “DIY (Do It Yourself) Cinema” “Bedhead Cinema”, and the most known (and resented) “Mumblecore”, This sudden New American Independent movement emphasized what Dennis Lim, of the New York Times, called “a low-key naturalism, low-fi production values and a low-volumechatter” and each of these overlooked works displayed an intimate courage to tell very fragile and human stories, something that was very refreshing when compared to to contemporary Hollywood narratives of the new millenium.

We'll be nice and cozy and safe from the cold, inside the Kerr Auditorium in Downtown OKC.

Programming and ticket information coming real soon!

We know it was really cold in there, but...

A really super humongous thanks goes out to everyone who showed up for our very first screening!  We know we were competing with a lot of different events, but all the guys and gals who showed up and hung out and watched some great flicks with us get great big virtual hugs.  You all have been promoted to OCN Super Friend Status.  Details regarding this status are forthcoming.  We really hope to see you all again at our next event in December, and we hope even more people come out and join the excitement!
