Some of the things people say about me to my face and behind my back.

Dear Renee,

On behalf of the ACS I would like to pass on our heartfelt thanks for your contributions during the ACS50 conference, and helping us celebrate 50 years as a society. I truly believe that, together, we have made history, having just participated in the largest celebration of cinematography to have ever been held in this country. It goes without saying that it was definitely a world class event and will be remembered for many years to come.

Just wanted to break the news to you that I GOT THE JOB :)))))))))))). I just can’t and can never and ever thank you enough for all the support and guidance you gave me Renee. You have always been my ideal and someone who I have always looked up to and said inside my heart that, “one day I wanna become someone like her”. You have always and always been inspiring and a wonderful teacher to me. You probably don’t have any idea but your teachings and your support have always been  liberating me. With all my heart, THANK YOU , THANK YOU SO MUCH. Please never and ever forget me.

I will genuinely miss learning from and with you. You’ve taught us so much about what it means to make films and to be a good person making films. Thank you for all the effort you put into guiding us with such grace.

You have been amazing to work with, it’s not often that someone so involved can be as objective as you. I have really appreciated your creative ideas and generosity as we teased this baby out. Thanks for having me on board.
