Renee Story and Chloe Ray are a dynamic mother–daughter filmmaking duo. When Renee’s mom became sick, Renee was her caretaker and the two spend countless hours watching comedies together.  She loved following Renee’s work as a literary and talent manager, as well as her granddaughter Chloe’s adventures in the acting world.  After she passed, Renee wanted to honor her legacy, and so their production company Two Other Trees was formed, celebrating three generations of women. 

In addition to producing their own projects, Renee and Chloe are on a mission to help other creators navigate the challenges of production and get their stories told.  Their exciting new comedy pilot, Noble Homes, just premiered at this year’s Austin Film Festival.

On this episode, Renee and Chloe take us behind the scenes of Noble Homes, talk about what it takes to make a limited-budget project succeed, and share their personal journeys—how they found their paths and what drives them today.
