OVERVIEW
 Producing films and TV has always been a sought after pursuit.
Raised in a family of MBAs where buisness deals
are a common practice, it was a natural inclination
for Brener, forming her own film company- Brener
Films in 2009. She recently signed a 6 Film and
TV deal w Praxis
Films whereby she will produce alongside this
successful company their next several projects.
The first of which “Blood Hostage” a
mixed martial arts action film, will be shot on
Location in Israel starring Vinnie Jones and Scott
Adkins directed by famous action director Isaac
Florentine. Brener is committed to bringing economic
growth to the film industry in Israel by promoting
a synergy of products across both continents.
Also Shirly just sold a reality format- Demolition
Chef to Small World (the company who does How I
Survived a Japanese Game Show/Big in Japan).
Another film Shirly put together– the psychological
suspense thriller- Session, starring Steven Bauer
(ScarFace, Traffic). She has a major role in the
film too. Before which she also tried her hand in
2 personal documentary films which she prooduced,
directed, wrote, shot and co-edited. One about her
father (a famous sport figure) - Danny the Golden
Fish and another about abstract expressionist LA
based artist (her hubby) - Bruce Rubenstein.
