With friends in the film industry, Renate decided to change direction and focus her creative skills on costumes for television and film. With a thriving film industry in Dublin, Renate had the opportunity to work extensively in the costume departments for film and on numerous television series, including the multi-award-winning ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Vikings’.
Renate’s first film job in Adelaide was for Windmill Theatre’s ‘Girl asleep’, where she coordinated the workroom to create the fantasy costumes.
