Renegade Picture 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 cranked to "11" and I'm pretty sure we disturbed a private event at the neighboring Chesapeake Boat Show. Thank you to everyone who came to the shows this season and continues to support this little outside-of-the-box artistic venture. I have some more ideas for next season and have already started to put together the movie list.

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.

Just to be clear - no show this weekend (Sept 27). Next show will be Oct. 18 and will be a fun and "scary" movie. More details to come.

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 showing is Saturday, SEPT 6 and we'll be showing a movie about being dumb.

It's summertime if you haven't noticed and what better way to celebrate the glorious Oklahoma heat by enjoying a movie on the outside of a building? To celebrate, we're showing a summer favorite crazy summer movie. The show is this Saturday, August 9 and will begin at dark. Bring all the usual stuff; drinks, something to sit on, a radio, if you want personalized sound - we'll be broadcasting the audio via FM stereo. Hope to see everyone there!

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, burn out, short out, or just plain break. It would be a little embarrassing to put all this effort into a show and try to get it to look seamless, fluid and perfect and then - oh shit - the projector just cratered and 50 people are sitting there looking a blank wall in pitch black. I guess the chance of that happening is still there but things seem to be pretty well under control. And if it did happen, well, the show was free anyway, right? But I digress. The direction I was headed was really in the progression of the show itself; it's popularity. Of course it will never be ...
