RENEGADE ___2013
It’s getting to be that time again – Spring is on it’s way (we hope) and with it will come another season of the Renegade Picture Show. As you know, we launched a new screen/venue last year and we hope to have even more shows this year.
I am working on the schedule but already have a couple of film things planned. So stay tuned….

Renegade Picture Show – New Screen Premiere – June 30th, 2012
Greeting fellow Renegade Picture Show movie-goers! Saturday, June 30th, 2012 is a special day in many ways. It is the first show this season – and our 21st show over the course of 6 years running. We’ll be celebrating the day and enjoying an evening of film in our BRAND NEW VENUE and on a much, much larger and even more awesome screen. The new screen is located on the opposite end of the same building where the old screen was painted. This is the third generation of painted movie screens and each one just gets bigger and better. This one all but knocks it out of the park. Coupled with an incredible grassy sitting area, this should be quite an enjoyable spot to watch a film. Someone already pointed out the imperfections of the building and how it’s not entirely flat – my response is that it only adds character and is part of this style of movie-going experience where we have to make do with what surface we have to project on. In actuality, most of the imperfections of the surface should vanish the moment the film comes on and you are immersed in the story – at least that’s what we hope for, right?
So now we come to the film of the evening….what to show on such a night? It’s a grand decision and one that a conclusion has not been formulated for. I haven’t decided. Stay tuned for that announcement later on. An official invite will be sent out to everyone on THE LIST – so sign up for that if you haven’t already.
But do mark your calendars for Saturday, June 30th – the show will begin at dark – most likely 9 pm these days. And feel free to arrive early to get a good spot, hang out, etc.
As always, there is no charge for the show – this is a free event. Of course donations are much appreciated.

First Drive-In Movie Theater Anniversary….
Today is the anniversary for the frist drive-in movie theater which opened in New Jersey in 1933. There’s a good article about the rise and fall of drive-in theaters and the uprising of “guerialla” drive-ins posted here!

Renegade Picture Show 2012 – New Stuff
Welcome back the Renegade Picture Show! We are working on several things to launch the new season. Right now we are in the process of creating a new screen. Our previous venue has changed since the relocation of I-40 so operations will now be moved to the north side of the building. The new screen will be larger than the old screen and super cool looking. With the change in venue there will also be a projection platform, a lawn (with actual grass), and an entire new feel to the space. We’re looking forward to opening the season so stay tuned for the launch day. Oh – I almost forgot – we have some new promo stuff like the woodblock stamp you see here (provided by etch pop). We’ll be stamping some stuff, making some postcard announcements, etc. We’ve also got a few stickers to share for those die-hard fans out there.
