JUST A GIRL IN THE BIG BAD CITY

About Me

What can be said about me that is truthful and insightful. I was born in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. St. Petersberg Russia. Moved to the Pacific Northwest when I was 6...was raised there until I moved away to pursue my filmmaking dream in Los Angeles. That was 16 years ago...WOW.I travels alot...maybe too much. Loves all things artistic. Am a writer and filmmaker in my soul.I adore strong people...ones that can look deep into you, not just at you...love creative souls and those who walk through fear and embrace it as part of the journey. I stumble through this world part girl but also wholly woman and seek all that will entice me, haunt me, and make me experience this thing called LIFE! Hit me up if you are real...that's all I ask! We are the makers of our destiny and if you just let life happen, that is what you get. Too much fakeness in the world and too little time to deal with it. Be honest! Speak from the heart!CHECK OUT MY PHOTOGRAPHY GROUP AT: RENATA'S PHOTOGRAPHY PAGE

My Interests

Writing and making films. Photography is a huge passion. Traveling the globe in search of many things (including bits of myself)...click on photos to see some of my favorite places. Finding that perfect beach in Tulum and acknowledging how lucky I am to have what I do. Always in search of culinary delights, music that touches me and a connection with other human beings that moves me to the core.

I'd like to meet:

The Dalai Lama for now.

Music:

Well its kind of all over the place. Been listening to alot of hip hop lately. 50 Cent, Mobb Deep...Love U2, Coldplay, Peter Gabriel. Prince...never gets old. James Blunt at the moment. Some good R & B like John Legend, Anthony Hamilton's Comin Where I'm From Album. Alicia Keys, Maxwell and Floetry for some soul. World music, Cesaria Evora rules.

Movies:

Classics rule - All Hitchcock (almost all). Kubrick's Clockwork Orange, The Godfather I and II. Carlito's Way...Sean Penn was unbelievable. The Way We Were...Redford and Streisand were an odd and amazing couple. Favorite directors of late...Rob Marshall for poetry of the visual...Adrian Lyne for the most erotic, thought provoking films (nine 1/2 weeks, Fatal Attraction, Lolita, Unfaithful...you get the drift) Jim Sheridan's In The Name of The Father and My Left Foot.

Television:

Grey's Anatomy, Sopranos, L Word, Entourage. Biography Channel, Travel and Food Network.

Books:

Walt Whitman - Leaves of Grass, The Alchemist, Pablo Neruda.
