Last Saturday we hosted the 2011 Reel Rock Film Tour as our 20th Renegade Picture Show. Backwoods sponsored the event - which was really cool of them. It was held at Rocktown on the back of the building where there is a large white screen painted - same place that many other RPSs have been shown. In addition to the film there was a band before the show. This gave me the opportunity to have

It's July here in Oklahoma and we are already in the midst of a major heatwave with no sign of relief. With highs in the low hundreds and nighttime lows sill in the 80s, it's difficult to get psyched about sitting outside in the sweltering heat at 10 pm and enjoying anything. I say this only because I'm a little frustrated we missed the very small window of "mild" weather in March that would have

Our Super 8 film night last Saturday evening was great. We watched a total of 17 short films ranging in length from about 2 minutes to 20 minutes. The program was divided into two half with the first half consisting of a number of Super 8 films I've found online. After a brief intermission we screened the second half of the program which featured shorts from the 2010 Cambridge International Super

Renegade Picture Show & Aaron W. Gibson present an evening of Super 8 Film Shorts at Rocktown Climbing Gym this coming Saturday. The films vary from far and wide - several were selected as "Best of Fest" from the 2010 Super 8 Festival in Cambridge, England.The films vary widely in terms of genre; foreign, quirky, dark, sentimental, experimental...some arre just plain strange. Some are black and

Our first show of 2010 kicks off on Saturday, June 26 at 9 pm. We'll start the evening with Aaron Gibson's film, The Good Soldier. Shot on location at Rocktown Climbing Gym and in Norman, OK, this film has been recognized at festivals both internationally (Cambridge Super 8 Film Fest, England) and locally (deadCenter Film Fest, OKC). In attendance will be various cast and crew. The film will be

We had a great turn-out for this event. This was our first gig that we required tickets for. That's because the film cost us money to show so we needed to charge at least to break even. In order to do so I devised a plan to have vendor booths/sponsors for the event. At one time it appeared we would have 5 vendors but it eventually backed to 3 vendors. All were paying to be at the show and display

Things have been slow this season for the Renegade Picture Show but that doesn't mean that we're done. On the contrary, we have plans for more shows and are working on some new ideas. It's just been a matter of finding the time to do the next show. The "Projectionist" (i.e. Me) has been working on his own film in addition to everything else that life brings. Who knows, maybe the film *might* even

So the third season of Renegade Picture show has begun - this time with a "Dumb" (if not Dumber) movie. We had a GREAT turnout for the show and everyone had a great time. The weather was perfect - a great way to start the season.Sometimes I feel a little bad about turning down the music and starting the show because it interrupts the social atmosphere - everyone is moving about, chatting it up

The third season of Renegade Picture Show begins this Friday, April 24 at our favorite movie watching venue. For exclusive movie watching details and the viewing location you must register for "THE LIST." We have lots of great movies planned for this year. This first one is a personal favorite - a comedy that can best be explained as "dumb." For those new to the show here's how it works:You show

This season's final Renegade Picture Show closed with a viewing of Slither. It was a good turn-out and a fun crowd. Only really issue was the annoying street light filtering in from the Producer's Co-Op next door. Note to self: bring BB gun with scope to future shows - just in case.The best thing about the show - in my opinion - was the debut of the new Behringer sound system. We had the volume

Saturday, October 18 we are showing a great modern-day B-movie film perfect for a drive-in movie!And what's better - we've been saving up and should have an awesome new sound system just in time for this scary-movie special.Show will begin after dark - a bit earlier than those summer shows.

We had a schedule change due to an event being hosted at the climbing gym the same evening. So no show this Saturday, Sept 6.Stay tuned for when the next show will be.

I'm a little late on the show report this time around, but hey, at least I didn't forget.It was another great showing. In my view a great showing is: comfortable weather, no technical glitches (sound or picture), a relaxed atmosphere where people enjoy the evening. This showing had all of those elements.The movie was funny - dorky, but funny. And even better after a couple of beers.Next scheduled

It was only a matter of time but the RPS just had it's first mention in a local OKC events site/blog called wimgo. So I would expect a few new sign-ups on THE LIST and some new faces at the shows.To date the RPS has pretty much been a word-of-mouth type affair. That's because last year (our first year) was kind of a test, so-to-speak. I was nervous each and every show that something might blow up

Thanks to all who came to the show on Saturday evening. The weather turned out to be perfect. There were a few lightning flashes from a storm just south of us but no rain.It was a small audience but still everyone enjoyed themselves. A big thanks to the first-timers to the show and the generous souls who donated to the Renegade Picture Show fund!Next show is JULY 19 and we're showing a shark

Next show is a classic western comedy movie on Saturday, June 28th at (where else?) Rocktown Climbing Gym.Show up early to get a good spot. Bring snacks and drinks. Bring a chair. And, if you have one, bring a huge soundsystem (preferably 800 watt JBLs).It's getting warmer outside so don't forget the bug spray!

On Friday, June 13th the Flaming Lips teamed up with deadCenter Film Festival and Rocktown Climbing Gym to present the band's long-awaited film Christmas on Mars. The experience was unlike any I've ever encountered.The show took place in an enormous red and yellow circus tent with 200 seat capacity. This tent housed a large stand-up screen about 14 ft tall and 20 ft wide, a massive sound-system,

It was great to see everyone last Saturday. I love it when we have a big turnout for the show. I guess it is tough to go wrong when you have a movie as great as Raiders. So, as everyone knows, the new one comes out this week. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that it lives up to all the hype!I don't know how many of you noticed but I was tinkering around with the sound during the show. At

A sort of late show report from the last RPS. The show went great - some minor audio issues that were worked out beforehand. But I think it indicates that my stereo system may be on a downhill slide. I'm going to look into beefing up the audio side of things.The screen looks phenomenal - crystal clear. I moved the car back a bit this time and didn't lose much brightness of the image so I'm

Our next show is Saturday April 26. We are showing this film. It's another 1980s movie - this one about Jerry Mitchell, a nerdy high-school newspaper kid who is asked to do a piece on the new guy at school. Buddy Revell is a hulking bad-ass with an infamous reputation. When Jerry accidentally steps over the line by touching Buddy's arm, the fight is on for three-o'clock. Jerry must find a way to

The show on April 19 was a great opener for the 2008 season. There was a decent turnout considering the expectation of a passing spring storm and the cool conditions. I hope everyone enjoyed the movie. I know there are some corny parts to it but that's part of what makes 80s movies so great. Still, I have to say, after watching the climbing sequence again I am impressed that it all was accurate -

Am I excited to announce the first Renegade Picture Show of this season will take place on Saturday, April 12 at dark. What time exactly? Well, we don't know exactly - but I would imagine 8:00ish. For the first show of the new season we are showing one of my childhood favorites. An outdoor trip leader who takes a group of boys in the wilderness and through the trials and tribulations of the wild

It is official. We received the movie license for 2008 which means that in order to get our money's worth we are going to have to show a butt-load of films. I am in the process - though early in the process I must admit - of putting together the list of movies and a schedule for this season. At this point all I know is that the first show is going to be towards the end of March - and hopefully on

Well, Saturday Oct 6 came and went without an announcement about the show - sorry about that folks. I've been super busy with a new business (ad)venture that I've taken on. And, yes, it is related to the Renegade Picture Show. In fact, it involves the place where the show screens - OKC Rocks. I, along with some partners, are purchasing OKC Rocks Climbing Gym!

I realize the schedule has been a little jumpy lately and I apologize to all of you who are eagerly awaiting the next Renegade Picture Show. There's a lot going on - the biggest of which is a major personal career change so that is putting a damper on the amount of time I have had to commit to the RPS. But rest assured - the season is not over yet! Change is afoot. Stay tuned. Our next scheduled

(9/19 EDIT: see most recent post - next show will now be 10/6)We are taking a break the next few weekends for some other things - the next Renegade Picture Show is scheduled for Saturday, September 22.In the meantime I am working on gaining access to another show location - this one in Norman. It is another really awesome and unique location so I hope that I am able to pull it off.

Photos from the RPS shows can now be found on Flickr. And you will also find us on the Guerilla Drive In Group site along with some other like-minded movie events across the country. Be sure to check them out. There are a few photos from the BL show last Saturday and I expect to have a buttload more later this week. So you can check it out now but don't forget to check it out later when I get the

The turn out for the BL show on Saturday night was awesome. We had about 40 people show up, maybe more. It was a warm evening, as it's been hovering around 100 degrees for the past week here in central Oklahoma - but the evening cooled off to about 80 degrees and there was a nice breeze. The evening began with some Renegade grilling. Russell showed up with his grill and cooked everyone burgers.

Hope everyone is looking forward to the show this Saturday. Should be a good time. I was getting a little nervous about the bowling pins arriving on time from the eBay seller but no need to worry - the bolwing pins have arrived! Now I've been questioning if I should purchase another bowling ball. Someone at work here is selling one for $10 - the same person I bought the last one from - so, I'll

We've got some special things planned for The BL show on August 11. Not only are we showing one of the greatest comedies of all time but we are also hosting the first Renegade Outdoor Bowling night. FREE BOWLING. We've got a used ball, some pins from ebay and we'll be building a lane out of plywood. Of course it's not perfect - but that's what makes it so damn fun! Oh and the other thing is this

We had a great show on Saturday night. The weather was nice - warm with no bugs and the show went flawlessly. I was surprised how many people had not seen the movie. Now you have been initiated, go forth and spread the word. Hope everyone enjoyed the little bit of 80s - the Banarama video of Cruel Summer. I thought that would be a nice touch for the pre-show. Thanks to Andy for capturing the

There was a small showing on Saturday for the movie. Maybe everyone was scared of being overtaken by mosquitoes? Well, good news, the bugs were not bad at all. Actually, it was a near-perfect evening weather wise. The movie was great and those that were there really enjoyed it. We skipped showing Coven in order to save it for a later scary-movie theme night - you can expect those to begin in

I'm really looking forward to this show. I think it's going to get some mixed reactions - some people will love this film, others.....will not love this film. Part of me says, "who cares, I'm showing it anyway." The other part, that part being my wife, says, "don't show that, people won't get it." It's true. This is a movie that some will simply not get - they either won't understand it - won't

We had a good show last night. The crowd was a bit smaller but still a great group - many first timers - so I hope everyone had a great time and come for the next show. I think the fact that we had to cancel the show a couple of weeks ago threw people off track and they didn't know we were having a show last night. No matter - there will be more. Thanks to the generous people who donated money -

Let's try this again...The past couple of weekends have been a complete BUST. The rain has been hammering us for weeks but it looks like things are going to let up just in time for the weekend. That means that we can FINALLY do another Renegade Picture Show. So mark your calendars and keep your eye on the weather forecast. The date is FRIDAY, JULY 6.

Still looking for a date for the next RPS. The forecast through Friday is for heavy rains - flooding even - then on Saturday the chance of rain is 30% for the day and 20% for the evening. The good news is that they are talking about a break in the weather on Friday so Saturday may prove to be our window of opportunity.For the time being, I haven't set the date for Saturday - but that looks like

In the great tradition of true renegades of cinema, the Renegade Picture Show proudly presents the epic tale of three friends on Saturday, June 23. This movie is a classic "western" comedy. "In a way, each of us has an El Guapo to face. For some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big, dangerous man who wants to kill us.

We had the best turn-out yet for a Renegade Picture Show - I'm estimating over 30 people, and who knows how many cars. I hope everyone enjoyed the movie and the social atmosphere. That's what the drive-in experience is all about.Thanks to everyone who donated their hard-earned money to the show. We raised about $25 bucks so that will, of course, go into the improvement and upgrade fund. The new

A mere one day after my posting about how it would be nice to have more sound. My wonderful wife Lisa gives me a call from a pawn shop in Norman. Not the normal hang for her but apparently she took my desire for wattage to heart. She was psyched to find a great deal on two speaker towers that should pump up the volume (beware: 1980s M|A|R|R|S reference). Weather looks good for tonight - may even

We are in the market for sound. Serious. Loud. Powerful. Sound. Anything we can do to increase the viewer experience at the Renegade Picture Show. Right now I have a portable stereo that I lug out to each drive-in show. It looks puny. It is puny. I'm surprised I haven't blown a speaker yet - it's bound to happen soon. So what I want is a PA system that BUMPS. I want something that I can keep

Yo - let's try this again. Friday, June 8 is the next show. Keep your fingers crossed for no rain. I think right now they are saying 30% chance. That doesn't mean anything 5 days out. Hands down, a great movie. Don't miss it. I've seen it many times but still can't wait to see it again - especially on the big screen!Also....WE'VE GOT STICKERS, FOLKS.

Our next show is Friday, June 1. Show starts at dark (that means around 9:00 pm). The location is same as before - OKC Rocks, back of the silos.this is a great movie - it's the first feature film for the Wilson brothers and the first feature film for Wes Anderson. It was shot entirely in Texas around Dallas and Houston. The movie should be a lot of fun to watch on the big screen, uhh, I mean silo

Location is at OKC Rocks - back of the silos. Bring a radio and some chairs or just hang out in your car and watch.Don't forget to bring a beverage of your choice and some snacks or candy.

I was recently turned onto a new theatre in Fort Collins, CO. that takes a different approach to movies. It's called the Lyric Cinema Cafe. The cool thing about the theatre is that it's a different kind of movie experience. There is a cafe where you can buy beer or wine, healthy food as well as all the regular movie-fare. There's a theatre in the back that seats about 80. It has theatre seats but

Saturday, May 5 was the second Renegade Picture Show and we showed Rushmore. Actually, we showed MOST of Rushmore as the last 15 minutes were cut short by thunderstorms. And as you can imagine, rain and electrical equipment do not mix.Thanks to the few hardcore movie-goers who made the journey to the back of the silos - I know many of you looked at the weather and thought, screw that, I'm not

On Saturday we painted a HUGE white screen on the back of the OKC Rocks silos! It was a lot of work and there were some technical delays to overcome (including one near-death experience) but we did it. A word to the wise - never try to lower 150 pounds of paint down a 100 foot silo shaft using a single pulley, your bare hands and a hip belay. You could get a nasty rope burn (or worse). But let's

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!"

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

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?
