RUBY ROSE COLLINS
Ruby Rose Collins is a filmmaker drawn to the gap between who we believe we are and what we’re capable of, why people who see themselves as “good” can still do horrible things, and what it costs to forgive them. She believes the most dangerous place to stand is inside someone else’s certainty, and that’s where she makes her work. Her films follow unreliable narrators so committed to their own version of events that truth starts to feel like perspective — even when it isn’t. She is also a twin, which means she has been studying the distance between two people who started from the same place her entire life.
She came up in theater, directing in New York, before building a career in investigative documentary rooted in the intersection of personal history and collective memory — interrogating how the stories we inherit reshape the lives we actually live. She has produced for ABC News, CNN, Springhill, and Roc Nation. She is currently a Co-Producer and Writer on Mara Brock Akil's Netflix series FOREVER. Her film all the love I could handle screened at Chicago International Film Festival, BlackStar, and HollyShorts, and is now part of film school curricula. She is in post-production on her second short, Squatter, and in development on her debut feature, WANT ME.
Her biggest dream is to open a theater in her backyard in East LA and direct monthly plays -- but ntense ones! Like Bruce Norris' Downstate.
