The Renata Road is directed by Ed Greenberg in his feature debut under his Beyond the Bar Ltd production banner.

Ed Greenberg said: “I am incredibly happy to have The Renata Road premiering at the Believe Psychology Film Festival.

“It is a film born out of the idea for a piece that was not only entertainment but also as a picture which would challenge its audience, which would encourage and reward that deeper engagement.

“One of the joys of The Renata Road lies in the interpretation. Everything in the film has a purpose, everything has a meaning, and that is very much in keeping with the core values of the Believe Psychology Film Festival.”
