Early Work

He has produced, directed and photographed three feature films: "Talking to Strangers" (1987), which appeared at the Berlin International Film Festival, Edinburgh International Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival; "The Arc" (1991), a co-production with Film Four International which showed in Berlin, Edinburgh, Toronto, and Chicago; and "Inside/Out" (1997), which screened at Cannes, Toronto, Rotterdam, and Sundance.
Tregenza's first feature, Talking to Strangers, won him acclaim and the eye and praise of Jean-Luc Godard, who personally selected the film in 1996 to be showcased at the Toronto Film Festival. Tregenza's third feature, Inside/Out, premiered at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard section.[1]
Cinematic Technique
Tregenza's work often employs the use of long takes to create mise en scene. His cinematic inspirations include the works of Michelangelo Antonioni, Kenji Mizoguchi, & Jean-Luc Godard.
