We need YOUR support to keep the Renegade Picture Show going. So donate today!
The Renegade Picture Show is best described as an impromptu drive-up drive-in. That means you drive (or ride or walk) up to a designated location, tune in your radio to the predetermined station and watch a movie on the side of a building, wall, or other structure,
while listening to the audio through your radio(as of 2009 we use our own "Super Sick" sound technology - we now blast the audio through two kick-ass Behringer speakers. Which makes for a much more robust/loud experience).The RPS is a spinoff of the Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In in Santa Cruz, CA and the Mobile Movie (MobMov) in Berkley, CA. Both ideas have spread in popularity across the world. The RPS begins it's 4th season this Summer 2010 and will be holding shows through the Fall.
Every show features a variety of visual entertainment usually consisting of a pre-show, a short film, and a feature. Shows generally last from 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending upon the length of the films shown. Each show will be unique depending on the type of theme for the night.
The Renegade Picture Show is migrating further away from "mainstream" cinema. We will be showing more Super 8, more 16 mm films, more indie-films, more LOCAL films, more foreign films, more films that rarely (if ever) get shown. Please contact us if you'd like your film shown at the Renegade. We'd love to review it and give you, the filmmakers, an opportunity to have your work seen! Visit the CONTACT page to give us the low-down.

The RPS was established in Norman, Oklahoma in 2007 but all subsequent shows have been held in the neighboring metropolis to our north; Oklahoma City. In order to find out where the shows are held you must sign-up for THE LIST.
When is it?
Shows for this season will start in June 2010. Shows are sometimes re-scheduled due to Oklahoma weather. Sign up on THE LIST to stay in the loop and find out when the next show is.
What should I bring?
Something to sit on. Maybe a blanket. Some snacks. You can't watch a movie without snacks. Sometime we have snacks for sale at the show but we're not promising anything. Other stuff to bring: bug spray, drinks, camera, friends.
How much does it cost to attend?
That's the best part - it's FREE! That's right, I said free. The RPS is not operating for profit but for the shear joy of showing films in a unique setting and in a unique way. Lets just say that the spirit of art and renegadeness (is that a word?) is driving this project. That said, we greatly appreciate donations in order to continue this community and social art project, as well as maintenance fees, gas money, and equipment expenses (i.e. projector bulbs).
What kinds of films do you show?
Many of the previews, shorts, and features are in the public domain, meaning they are free to show. For more information on public domain movies I would encourage you to visit archive.org. Besides these we have a wide variety of other material to show; everything from short films, and video art, to feature films. Each RPS features a theme so one night may be sci-fi films, the next time may be romantic comedy, horror, or mystery.
Do you accept suggestions for films?
Yes! We'd love to know what films you would like to see. We can't guarantee it but maybe it will end up on the schedule.
Do you accept submissions for the show?
If you have a film that you've made and want to share it with others, we'd love to see what you've got and may be interested in showing it.
Do you accept advertising?
If you own or work for a company that you feel would mesh well with the RPS and be appropriate for advertising during one of the shows or on this website please shoot us an email - we'll talk.
Who runs this show, anyway?
Just some guy.
