When he’s not running city council meetings, OKC Mayor David Holt works with experts across the state to build a brighter future for OKC, including the growing film industry. The job sometimes even includes representing the city globally through the power of cinema. Mayor Holt briefly appeared in the 2024 deadCenter opening night documentary Saucedo, where he meets with former Oklahoma City boxer Alex Saucedo. Though brief, the appearance highlights how much the city has supported one of Oklahoma’s finest talents.
