The editorial leadership for Time Magazine, for whom Renaud had been working on a project for around the time he died, said they were „devastated“ by his death. „As an award-winning filmmaker and journalist, Brent tackled the toughest stories around the world often alongside his brother Craig Renaud,“ Time CEO Edward Felsenthal and COO Ian Orefice said in a statement. „In recent weeks, Brent was in the region working on a TIME Studios project focused on the global refugee crisis. Our hearts are with all of Brent’s loved ones. It is essential that journalists are able to safely cover this ongoing invasion and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine,“ they added.
