GUEST SPEAKER

TOKYO AMERICAN CENTER
My creative work has earned international recognition — I was invited by the Tokyo Short Shorts Film Festival and flown to Tokyo, Japan, to speak on a panel at the Tokyo American Center before an audience of ninety journalists from across the Asia-Pacific region, where we explored the art of filmmaking and creative storytelling.

ADDITIONAL PROJECTS

OUR PROMISE

We are passionate about documenting socially conscious stories that make a difference in the way we see the world. While traveling for eight years throughout Southeast Asia with her husband and young son, Renee and her crew, created seven short films: ‘Katy Sullivan’, a double amputee runner with Paralympic potential, the ‘Think/Positive’ series on long-time survivors with HIV and Black Teens with HIV, ‘Tired Tokyo’ a documentary on public safety in Japan, and four other short films. Renee is a founding member of TAG, (The Actor’s Group) at the Independent Theater, The Yellow Brick Studio, in Honolulu, Hawaii.
