My name is Rene' Guerrero. A native of Dallas, Texas, I was the child of a mathematician and a hairdresser way back in 1966. I am told I was conceived in Las Vegas, which comes as no surprise to anyone who knows me.
When I was young I had the extreme pleasure of being enrolled in
Adam Roark's Film Actor's Lab in the 80's where Lou Diamond Philips was the class cinematographer. Most recently I worked with Ken Farmer in 2006 for a short time. I still love acting, but even at an early age I quickly realized that I was far too intelligent to just be talent. An avid writer from childhood, I dove into story-telling, art, literature, and graphic novels. Eventually, like so many other creative children without siblings, I went inside myself and emerged as a guitarist and songwriter in the 80's. When a record deal went south in the mid-90's I returned to film doing art department and spent a couple of years cutting my teeth on still photography before venturing out as a camera man in my mid to late twenties.
As it applies to the commercial world, I became an art director for a couple of years but I quickly lost my taste for making things for people ON DEMAND. Or at least in that respect. I currently design modern fixtures that I want to fabricate but right now everything is still in its conception stage.
I own a Panasonic DVX-100A and, except for my personal work, have shot primarily for reality television since 2000. I have worked on Cheaters, Eye for an Eye, Bridezillas, Who's Wedding is it Anyway?, Grin & Barrett and a list of independent pilots. And though I am completely aware of how manufactured that 'reality' is, I take the concepts for my current personal work from true-life stories of real people. Because, the truth is, you just can't make stuff like that up.
In September of 2007 I took a director/producer position with Bobby Goldstein Productions, the producers of Cheaters. Together with my producing partner Melissa Martin I am producing a show entitled i accuse. It will roll out early 2008 as a web-based consumer activist forum where citizens can publicly accuse another party of societal injustice. We then approach the accused party and give them an opportunity to address their accuser in a viral video arena that will allow viewers world-wide to post their opinions, share the case videos virally across the internet, and hopefully usher in a new era where institutions, government agencies, and private citizens will be held accountable for their actions towards others. We will then create a television show around the content for network release in the fall of 2008.
I love my job.

I started Miasma Filmgroup in 2000 with my partner Dee Schore. The feature script for "Casanova Shrugged", a futurist tome on the technological degradation of our modern disposable society, was our first joint effort. Our first actual project was a documentary on the Fort Smith, Arkansas Symphony entitled "Extreme Orchestra!- Opening Night". It screened at the Hot Springs Documentary Festival in 2005. Since then, I have been focusing on independent film with a strong tendency to keep the script concepts as well as the work itself here in the Dallas area.

This is a banner from a short film "Evolution of a Criminal" that I shot for Michael Daniel for the On the Lot competition. I played a tree surgeon with a bad case of light intolerance...
