Maggie Renzi
Biography
Maggie Renzi is a film producer and actor who studied at Williams College in Massachusetts and moved into independent cinema in the late 1970s. After graduating she worked at various jobs, among them casting agent and talent agent. Her first feature, Return of the Secaucus Seven (1980), was written and directed by John Sayles; Renzi played Kate, a high school English teacher who gathers her college friends for a reunion, and she also took on unit managing and assistant editing duties. The movie became a hit at art houses and on campuses and won a screenplay award from the Los Angeles Film Critics, launching her career as an independent filmmaker. From Lianna (1983) onward she produced while still acting, and once Passion Fish (1992) came out she concentrated on producing. Early films used a team of producers; Limbo (1999) and Sunshine State (2002) credit her alone. She also produced Girlfight (2000), Karyn Kusama's award-winning debut.
