HISTORY
Renegade Motion Picture Corporation is a company that evolved out the work of the British film company Triple Action Films (founded 1975) who were responsible for films such as "King Lear", "St. Joan" and "Faust". When Steven Rumbelow moved to Canada and later formed an association with Frank Capra Jr. they decided to create a North American company based in Toronto in 1991. This became Renegade Motion Picture Corporation and Mr. Rumbelow vertically intigrated Triple Action Films into Renegade.

WORKSHOPS
EDGE OF FRAME
There have been 24 Canadian workshops held so far in the OVER THE EDGE / EDGE OF FRAME series. The workshops have been designed to offer actors a number of effective tools to allow them to deliver maximum results within what is often a professionally demanding and inflexible working environment.
Steven Rumbelow noted an uneven quality to some Toronto actors when directing in television and features here. A perplexing mix of eyebrow, accent, musical or get-the-whole-reel-into-one-line actors. He started this workshop series to get his actors onto one stylistic page. It was so effective that it was eventually opened to the acting community at large.
Since starting the workshop series it has been attended almost exclusively by invitation only and mostly by actors who have been referred by Casting Agents, Directors or other Actors. Acting Agencies have sponsored the workshop for their client base and Edge of Frame has been approved and sponsored by ACTRA in the past.
The workshop program has also been a valuable casting resource for Renegade and an effective vehicle for finding new talent..
Edge of Frame in a very practical way deals with emphasis of sophistication, maturity, subtlety and consistency on camera: focusing on styles evolved from Stella Adler and The Actors Studio. It makes a study of styles of suspension used by actors like Chris Walken, Al Pacino and Robert De Nero as well as the use of character development taken from observation.
There are three workshop levels: Two-day Entry Level Workshop, the Two-day Advanced Level Workshop and the three-day Master Class (which is by invitation only).
