Filmmaker Bio:
Vlogging from the age of 16, Renee has been on YouTube sharing her daily insights as a Catholic teen for almost two years. She is driven by a desire to show her generation that they are called to be saints TODAY, and that being a teen is not an excuse to “go out, party and live your life the way you want” as today’s culture promotes.
Why ‘Reborn Pure’? Well ladies and gentlemen, that’s her name! The day Renee happened to figure out in 2011 that her name, Renee Catherine, meant ‘Reborn Pure’, was one of the greatest days in her motivation towards sainthood. Her hope of eventual purification in Christ was written in her name. Her parents were not even aware of the name coincidence. Ever since, Renee has been on Facebook and YouTube showing her generation that, “If you know the truth, PURSUE IT, no matter what age you are!” She started and is the administrator of “New Catholic Generation” (http://newcatholicgeneration.com/) and prays it reaches many Catholic teens and supportive adults of today’s generation.

The Section on “Purity of Heart” in the Catechism inspired me. Then I also went to the YouCat and discovered what it said about it too!
