Month: July 2014

A few weeks ago for Uncovering Oklahoma I went to Air Donkey Zipline in Davis, Oklahoma.

I spoke to Steve and Rosalind Burrough about what to expect from this high-flying adventure. Watch the video and check out the pictures from my visit. The video turned out great. This time, I did some color correcting to make the scenery pop and I left off the title credit in favor of a new end title.

Leslie and I both had such a fun time. Fair warning: Air Donkey Zipline was quiet the workout. As I stood on the tower for the first real zipline, I was nervous. Once I went down the first one, the scared feelings went away and the rest were easy. It’s an intense experience that I can personally recommend.

Recently I got to do one of the 14 Things I want to do in Oklahoma in 2014 when I went to the deadCENTER Film Festival. Due to work, I only attended the opening night party on Thursday and on Sunday saw the features I wanted to see: The Posthuman Project, Army of Frankensteins, and Rough Cut.

While waiting in line to get my press passes, I met with filmmaker Bunee Tomlinson who I had interviewed about Hana, his short movie at the festival. We took the above selfie together. I posted it on Twitter, tagging deadCENTER, and after a few minutes the tweet showed up on a large TV screen displaying tweets about the festival.

I got to do this brief on-the-spot interview with some of the crew behind Rough Cut during the opening night party.

Met with Kyle Roberts after the showing of The Post Human Project. Read his Q&A here.

Picture with the cast and crew of Army of Frankensteins standing up after the movie to do a Q&A with the audience.

While I’m not going to write in-depth reviews, I will say I enjoyed each of them and I look forward to next year’s festival.
