Biography: René Lego is an award-winning, Emmy-nominated producer, director and videographer. Since receiving her B.A. in Radio-Television-Film from Temple University in Philadelphia, René has produced, directed and shot a number of commercial, documentary and experimental works. Her first film, The Philadelphia Textile Industry was featured at the 1996 International Textile Competition in Kyoto, Japan. René worked as a line producer and assistant camera on the Cardoso Flea Circus, a quirky experimental shown in art galleries and museums worldwide. In 1999, she produced and directed a historical documentary tracing the legacy of forgotten radio pioneer Atwater Kent. From 1999 - 2001, René was the Senior Producer of Philly Live, a call-in talk show on WYBE Public Television in Philadelphia. Program themes nights included International, Gay & Lesbian, Latino, Asian, African American and Local. Philly Live received a 2001 Mid-Atlantic Emmy nomination for “Best Talk Series,” and was awarded a Telly, a Communicator Award and a Pennsylvania Broadcaster’s Association Award. Her most recent documentary, Picture Me an Enemy, a moving portrait of two women from the former Yugoslavia premiered in Philadelphia in 2003 to a sold-out audience. The film was awarded “Best Documentary” at the 2003 Philadelphia Film Festival, garnered an Emmy nomination for “Outstanding Documentary Program” and was selected as a finalist for the International Public Television Conference (INPUT’03). In addition, it was featured in the Common Ground Film Festival and the Philadelphia Stories television series. The film is currently being distributed to colleges and universities throughout the U.S. by Women Make Movies.
