REEL TALK: RENA DINE

Welcome to Reel Talk, where we deep-dive into the minds of the industry’s finest—directors, producers, actors, writers, and all the unsung heroes on set. Each conversation gives a glimpse into their craft, passion, and the stories that drive them.

For our final Reel Talk issue of 2024, I’m beyond grateful to have my dear friend, Rena Dine, an actress whose performance will shatter any notion of what vulnerability and strength truly are. Her most recent work was in Mawtini (My Homeland), where she portrays a Palestinian young woman who joins the fight for her identity and connection to the land through guerrilla gardening.
