Rensin's latest project All for a Few Perfect Waves: The Life and Legend of Rebel Surfer Miki Dora sold twice: the book to William Morrow and the film rights to Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way Productions, for a film to star diCaprio with D. V. DeVincentis (High Fidelity) adapting. The agents doing the deeds were Brian DeFiore at DeFiore and Company and, for the film rights, Rob Carlson at William Morris.
