Directors Spotlight



Ruby Rose Collins

Director

Ruby Rose Collins is a filmmaker drawn to the liminal space between memory and perception. Her work is rooted in the belief that personal histories are political archives, worth interrogating, distorting, and reframing through a cinematic lens. She’s drawn to fractured protagonists, unreliable narrators, and emotional rupture.
