Tonja Rene is an actor turned manager/producer with a passion for film, television and media. She has several television and film credits in supporting and leading roles and new projects in the works as a producer. 

 

Tonja looks forward to projects that require depth and grit. Her background as a performer and visionary goes back to her early childhood where she did modeling as a teen as well as numerous performances as a singer, actor and host. 

 

In this interview, Ward and Tonja discuss what it’s like for a believer to work in Hollywood and how to stay the true to who you are and what you believe. Can Christians work in non-Christian films and still make a difference? 

 

Tonja was drawn back into media and entertainment as a result of a surreal dream she says “rocked her world” while pregnant with her daughter in 2004. In this dream, Tonja was taken on a journey through old Hollywood and God showed her that the church had pulled his Light out of the media and entertainment industries years ago. The Lord asked her to be willing to be, among others, a Light through her gifts and talents.
