MESSAGE FROM RENEE: 4/26 -- Hello! At last, the short film about the man who takes his father on one last joy ride is finally ready to start production. I am excited to see my writing taking shape and, finally, I have the chance to direct my own piece! Thrilling for me, but let's see what everyone else thinks later. It involves motorcycles, children and a couple of stunts! Hee, hee, hee . . . Why make it easy, right? I will be putting some original pieces I have made on eBay to fund the project. They do call me “grass roots Renee” around these parts. There will be all sorts of different media such as art on tiles, a couple of pastels and maybe an oil painting. Keep checking the link below. LINK TO RENEE'S EBAY AUCTIONS Finally, I wish Lucy and all you lucky ladies a rockin’ good time in London! I look forward to hearing all about it and seeing some great pics.

She says, "I play a grief-stricken woman. I love the writing, but it is breaking my heart!" 3/1/08 -- Hello gang! I will be attending the On Location Memphis International Film Festival next month. I will be attending the panel discussion on Saturday, as well as the screening of our film on Sunday. Hope to see some of you there. I hear Memphis is a great city! We are thrilled to be a part of the festivities! Renee 2/08 -- Hello, my friends. Thank you for all the good wishes for my birthday. I had a wonderful day, and I am still celebrating! Love and light to you all, Renee Hello from Bulgaria! It is a LITTLE warm here. We traveled about 24 hours, with layovers and such, and, boy, was Iris the little angel. I would travel with her anywhere! She seems to bring out the best in everyone around her. I have yet to meet my future "ex-husband, Nickolas," but I hear he is very polite. Hmmm, I guess I will have to break him in. Fortunately for us, since we have no idea what the other even sounds like, the writing is great! Speaking of writing, I did not come up with the idea for this movie, The Genesis Code, at all. I have been submitting ideas to the SciFi Channel, but this was one already in the works. Signing off to find some cooler air. Take care, Renee Hello everyone! I trust you all made it home safely after a great weekend in NYC? What a weekend! I have not had THAT much fun, for SO many days, in a LOOONG time!!! I met an intriguing man on the airplane on my way over and we were talking about the book, The Power Of Now. It is wonderful! My saying to myself over the course of the weekend became literally, “My destination is NOW.” And, I really enjoyed seeing some familiar faces, meeting new ones, sharing my film experiences with you all, and dancing with Lucy “like no one was watching” (HA!). Your energy there was infectious! Thank you all for your continued support. You really are a special group of people. Best, Renee Morning! In case you may be driving by and love to look at billboards, take a peek at Katherine Fugate's t.v. show for Lifetime. It is on Hollywood Boulevard. Good on ya lady! Also, I just heard from Dean Teaster that a billboard for GHOST TOWN the movie is going up in Times Square. That may be more difficult to see! And . . . my friend Eric Escobar, the director of ONE WEEKEND A MONTH, made a music video for MY favorite duo, The Indigo Girls. Check it out. It is great! And I have two new pictures from GHOST TOWN up for sale on the shopping page. More to come . . . Just going to practice my shimmy now. Thanks everyone! Renee Hello all! I want to thank Mary D for the fundraiser going on and all the gang who continue to support the Burn Relay. I do hope to see you out there. I have some goodies to bring. I need to apologize for those of you who have placed orders on the shopping cart. My son, Miles, broke his leg and I have been so busy taking care of him. I am just resurfacing now so I will get those orders out on Monday. He is finally walking well so he is going to join me on Saturday. Riding around on a firetruck always inspires a boy! Take care you all. Renee Hi everyone. Happy good Friday. I hope you all get to spend the weekend with your loved ones. I want to thank the wonderful ladies I saw last weekend at the Dinah Shore event for coming out to see me. I always appreciate your making the effort to be there. I am planning on joining the Burn Relay this year, so stay tuned for more information. See you all soon. xxxRenee Hi there gang. I have been the social butterfly lately. Catching up with friends and family, celebrating birthdays. Iris' first birthday was the best! We hired a moon jumper for the kids, but by the end of the day I was on it. I was thoroughly enjoying myself, trying to outperform my friend, Andy's, back flips and flying twists! You can't take the monkey out of me. I have been submitting Diamonds and Guns to various festivals. I will keep you updated on any acceptances over the next few months. Check in here. Let's hope this will help you get a chance to see it in a theater. For better or worse! Ha! See some of you next week in Palm Springs. xxxRenee Trying my best to be a Bald Christmas Ornament. I am getting fixed up so nicely for Boogeyman 2. Merry Christmas to you all. All my best, Renee  Hello there. I put my oil painting "Rangitoto Island" on ebay today. l love this one! I hope it makes it into a good home for the holidays. It will be missed around here, that's for sure. Enjoy yourselves. Renee Hi everyone. Hanging out now after returning from a quick trip to Colorado to visit with family. What a beautiful winter wonderland we had down there. I begin the last phase of the sound edit for Diamonds and Guns next week. I can't wait! Surely this will bring me closer to the final picture! In the meantime, I have some new prints of my last oil paintings up on the shopping section. I am also looking at some great photographs from the set of Ghost Town that I asked "Oenita and Ed" to take for me. I will put those up in about a week. I started on three new oil paintings, too. One is of Xena and Gabby facing Bethell's Beach, one of Xena on her horse, coming through a mountain range. And the last one is a sillouette of Xena and Gabs, walking through the Smoky mountains. Don't ask me how they made it there from Greece! Renee  Hi gang. Just checking in with you all. We are filming in Maggie Valley, North Carolina on top of a mountain. The Ghost Town set used within the theme park is wonderful. I walk down the street and feel like I am living in the 1800s. The beauty here barely surpasses the kindness of the locals. The photo here is with D.J. Perry, who keeps switching hats between acting, writing and producing. I am with my kind of people! Renee  Hello all! Just want to let you guys know that I am going to film a western in North Carolina. It is called Ghost Town and I will be playing a “Calamity Jane” type of role. It was supposed to be for a guy and the role was named "Little Jack.” Don't know if that name will stay or not, but I know the “little” part still works. Anyway, still working on finishing Diamonds and Guns until I go, but I am looking forward to just saying my lines for a change of pace! Renee Hi there, The new painting is up, titled "Green Eyes." It is on ebay right now. Hey, hey!!! I wish you could all see Lucy sing live on stage! She is even better than on television. Really looks and sounds like a rock star! I can't wait to see what she does next!!!! Peace & love, Renee Hey, isn't our rockin Lucy doing a great job? I am sitting at home, holding Iris, watching Miles dance along as "Lucy a-go-go" seduces everybody in America!!! Yes, I am calling in for her too! You go girl! I just started the sound mix for D&G with the guy who created the chakram sound for Xena. Turns out we have been working together for many more years than I had originally thought, going back to Darkman II and the Hercules tele-movies. We have some laughs! He told me the story of how the "whoosh" really started. He is doing a great job for me. The oil painting "Too Much Info" is going up for auction this week on ebay and I should have some prints of it available soon. This will be very helpful in remixing a better dialogue reel. Our original was shocking at times. That is about it from my world. I saw the Xena movie sign in the audience, by the way. Good on ya! Renee Hello again. Remember me? I haven't forgotten about you gals . . . and you guys checking in. I have been having the most enjoyable time this summer. I have been spending it with my family, traveling all over -- from Texas, to New Zealand, to Seattle and back to Texas again. In fact, I just returned from Austin, where Threadgill's was having a great tribute to the Concert for Bangladesh. It reminded me of what Lucy was talking about in our last Coffee Talk setting, having been there herself. So, with a little music in my ear and a smile on my face, I am getting back to work. I started painting again. I am almost finished with "Too Much Information.” Pretty unusual piece. I watch CNN while I paint it and the vision of Mother Earth keeps bringing herself to the surface. I will use any proceeds from its sale to finish the last of production for Diamonds and Guns. Joe Lo Duca's music has finally been completed. Hopefully, I can start the final post-production phase now. YE-HA! Otherwise, my heart goes out to all the families affected in both Israel and Lebanon. XXXrenee G'Day everyone! I have been very busy with the little ones in my life, but I am so grateful for every minute with both of them. Thank you for the signed blessings. I have printed them out (all 530) and they will go into Iris' baby book. It was great seeing the gang who turned out at the Burn Relay. I didn't know I would be attending until the last minute so "thank you to the die hards" who always make it a pleasure for me by seeing your shining faces. Renee I had a baby girl yesterday, March 19. Iris Sura O'Connor -- 7 lbs. 15 oz. and very mellow. Merry Christmas everybody. Check out my message on the Xena Fanclub website!!! Yes, I am still trying to finish our film. I have a great composer on board to help me out on Diamonds and Guns . . . Joe Lo Duca!!! I am very excited . . . Have a great holiday yourselves. Best, Renee Hello! I have had many requests about interest in investing in my projects to help out with independent film fundraising. I appreciate everyone's enthusiasm, but, unfortunately, I can't accept donations for a business project. If you really want to help me, then the most direct path is in finding something I am offering for sale on either ebay or my shopping cart when it goes up, and purchasing it for yourself or someone else. I am still working on getting other things out there which will be more affordable for everyone. Thanks for all the dedication and support! Renee Hello! I want to warn everyone who has participated in the ebay sales for finishing our film, that there have been two occurrences of someone trying to commit fraud by trying to resell items that have already been purchased. Please don't buy anything that is a second chance bid or sale! If you are approached please contact ebay directly at spoof@ebay.com. Do not click on any links in the emails. I am really sorry this is happening, but fortunately, no one has lost anything to whomever is trying to take advantage of others. You can always leave a message in the “ask renee” area if you are uncertain of any transactions. On to better things....thanks so much for the support on our film. Today a friend of mine from New Zealand landed and is ready to help us make an animated piece for Diamonds and Guns. The characters are not animated. We are creating a style which will help set the film up as a romantic comedy. We haven't had any rules to follow, so why start now?!!!! -- Renee Welcome! Welcome! Welcome to my official site! I'm so thrilled to finally have this up and running. I couldn't have done it without two very creative people and their unending patience with my changing my mind over and over again. Looks like we're going to have some fun. So stay tuned. -- Renee I thought having a doll named after "Gabby" was cool, but now I am "over the moon"! I am feeling very mercurial right now. -- Renee (upon being told about the planet "Xena" having a moon named "Gabrielle")
