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.

The Motion Picture Licensing Corporation in LA has granted the Renegade Picture Show an exclusive license for public movie performances.

You’re asking yourself, what does that mean and why should I care?

It means, we can legally show movies in a designated public setting. You know that FBI warning you skip past and never read on DVDs? Well, if you read that you would see that videos are only licensed for “home use” and any other form of display is illegal. Sure, we may have been able to sneak by without the license – other people do it all the time – more power to them – but I’d rather not worry about it. As for the second question, why should you care? I don’t know. Maybe because we’re trying to make this a sustainable and meaningful event and this helps put it on the map for Oklahoma. Aside from that the whole license thing should be transparent to the viewer. But now’s the time to brag so why not? Frankly, I’m just happy the MPLC took us seriously.

SO – the first show is scheduled for this weekend – probably Friday night. More to come…

Sign up on THE LIST for show date, title, time and location.

The Renegade Picture Show has been in disucssion with the Motion Picture Licensing Corporation (MPLC) to obtain a license for public performance of movies. The MPLC has determined that they WILL grant the RPS a license – for a fee, of course.

The RPS will be completely free and open to registered members (free registration through website) – no admission will be charged. However, we will gladly accept donations in order to defer the cost of the movie license.

If you wish to contribute, see the ChipIn fundraising block in the left column.

At this point we are looking at holding 7 movie showings this year.

The first RPS is coming soon! Stay tuned…

Working on some material for the premier Renegade Picture Show. The premier location has been secured and will be announced in a future post on this website so stay tuned. I am working on the rest of this website – this page is just the news/blog page – there is a lot more to share. The site will be online at http://renegadepictureshow.com.

Also, I’m still working on details regarding public performance licensing. So far, no luck….I may have to take another approach.
