“His letters to Ruby were like diaries…”
Ruby Baby (2019, 24 mins) bounces between the past, which builds a slow burn of tension where the threat of violence is never far away, to the present where the tone is balanced from the dark with lighter, strangely comic moments. The final scenes build to a crescendo of action which is then countered with some deeply moving revelations.
The film had it’s premiere at the renowned Club at the Ivy in London’s West End and has since won over 18 awards globally most notably winning Best Director, Best Picture and Best Dark Comedy at the Los Angeles Film Awards and Best Fiction Short at the American Golden Picture International Film Festival.
