Renee Felice Smith Explores Disinterest in Relationship with Her New Film
Renée Felice Smith couldn't find anyone she wanted to make her film, so she did it herself. The actress, who has starred on "NCIS: Los Angeles" for eight years sits down with Alyssa Julya Smith to explain why she decided to produced, write and direct her new film "Relationtrip" alongside her partner, C.A. Gabriel.
Smith explains that the film explores the millennials disinterest in forming relationships and their rush into partnering with someone without really getting to know them. She created the film with her real-life partner whom she met when she was 11 years old.
The actress explains that she wanted to have complete control over her content and she has worked with Gabriel for years, so he was the perfect person to work with to bring their dreams to fruition.
Simpson’s gridiron legacy was forever overshadowed by the 1994 knife slayings of Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. A criminal court jury found him not guilty of murder, but a separate civil trial jury found him liable.
Hollywood closed out an up and down 2023 with “Wonka” regaining No. 1 at the box office, strong sales for “The Color Purple” and an overall $9 billion in ticket sales that improved on 2022’s grosses but fell about $2 billion shy of pre-pandemic norms.
