BIO
Recognized by Playback as one of Canada’s "10 to Watch," Renuka is a screenwriter from Kitimat, BC.
After pivoting from finance to storytelling in 2020, she has earned credits on series including "I WOKE UP A VAMPIRE" (Netflix), "REGINALD THE VAMPIRE" (Amazon), "ALLEGIANCE" (CBC) and "CREW GIRL" (Netflix).
Beyond produced credits, she has developed series with CBC, Bell Media, and Corus Entertainment. Her current slate includes a CMF/Bell Media-supported original comedy and a horror series adapted from the work of acclaimed novelist Ray Garton.
As a member of the Indo-Fijian diaspora, Renuka's work inherently challenges fixed identities. Themes of belonging and being an outsider, familial duty, and self-fulfillment often weave themselves into her stories. Her short film PETTICOAT, which explores cultural identity through genre, was awarded the Tasveer Film Festival Short Film Fund and is co-produced under her banner, IN GOOD HANDS MEDIA.
Renuka is an alumna of the Pacific Screenwriting Program’s Scripted Series Lab, was the sole BC writer selected for the 2023 WBD Access × Canadian Academy Writers Program and mentors with the Black Screen Office.
