About Renée
Renée cut her teeth in indie-land, then large-scale Network TV, and is now focused on Prestige Limited Series & Features. She recently designed the spectacular Gothic universe for NETFLIX’s mega series AMERICAN PRIMEVAL. The historical limited was shot in New Mexico and helmed by Peter Berg, Erik Newman and Noelle Green. Before that, she created the noir period thriller world for the FX/HULU true crime limited UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN for Dustin Lance Black, Ron Howard & Brian Grazer @ Imagine, as well as the Molly Metzler / Margot Robbie / John Wells’ heavy-hitting drama MAID. These two series shared 8 Emmy & Golden Globe nominations between them.
In features, she designed the Lionsgate film THE ASSIGNMENT for Director Walter Hill, LIFE ON THE LINE, and PERSONAL EFFECTS, which starred Michelle Pfeiffer.
Mid-career, she pivoted toward set decoration for a stint to explore and hone her lifelong compulsive obsession with Details. Human Stories live and die in the details.
Her time spearheading enormous projects like PRIMEVAL, THE STAND, ZOO, and ANOTHER LIFE informs how she balances colossal economies of scale without ever losing sight of the power each tiny object carries to a set in service of the story.
