  • Next Show – Saturday, May 5

    Saturday, May 5 the Renegade Picture Show presents a movie about…Love. Expulsion. Revolution.

    Showtime is at DARK – be there about 8:45 PM. If you show up late, be sure to turn your head lights off before reaching the back of the silos.

    The location is OKC Rocks Climbing Gym – on the back of the silos. For a detailed map and directions go here. If you haven’t been here before you better leave early in case you get lost.

    The show is FREE. Of course, donations are greatly appreciated.

    Bring snacks, popcorn, candy, beer, dinner, soda…whatever.

    If you want to spread the word, print a flyer.

    If this is your first show here’s how it works. The movie is projected on the back of the silos (from a projector sitting on top of my car). A laptop is hooked up to the projector which plays video files and a DVD copy of the movie. The audio is piped through an FM transmitter (sounds geeky doesn’t it?) and fed into your car stereo or portable radio. Electricity provided by Freddy, the owner of OKC Rocks, powers the whole shabang.

    There will be a pre-show featuring some old drive-in movie ads and other stuff like newsreel footage, commercials, art films, industrial films, cartoons, public service announcements, and previews…basically anything that looks interesting.

    Hope to see you there!

  • Another Cool GDI

    Another great Drive-In is the Guerilla Drive-In in West Chester, PA.

    Check out the setup for it. And I thought I had to carry a bunch of stuff!

    John Young, the guy who runs it says…
    “All in all, it’s about 75 pounds of stuff not counting the heavy wooden tripod. That’s about 74 pounds and 15 ounces more than a Netflix DVD. “The Guerilla Drive-In: Making Movies Inconvenient Again!”

  • 5 Year Anniversary for Guerilla Drive-In

    As the Renegade Picture Show (RPS) begins, the Guerilla Drive-In (GDI) in Santa Cruz completes it’s 5-year anniversary show! The RPS was inspired by the GDI – we hope we can be as successful, fun, and sustainable as they have been.

    Here’s an article about it.

    Ironically, the the article calls the event “renegade!”

  • A Great Movie Night!

    The premiere night of the Renegade Picture Show went great. Thanks to everyone for coming out – I hope you enjoyed it!

    For those that missed it we had a pre-show with several old drive-in movie ads, as well as a quirky “all-purpose” industrial film and a couple of old movie previews. That was followed by our feature presentation Raising Arizona.

    We are taking suggestions for the next movie for May – if there’s one you’d like us to show drop us an email through the contact form. The next movie will be coming up before you know it!

    Also, big thanks to Freddy for allowing us to host the Renegade Picture Show at OKC Rocks and thanks to James for helping out.
