FILM LONDON LODESTARS: Ruth Greenberg
"Ruth's work is always surprising and thought-provoking and her directorial debut, RUN shares her usual boldness of vision. With her feature film The Origin in post and a number of projects in development with exciting collaborators it feels as though Ruth's career is building momentum."
Jessica Loveland (Head of BBC Writers Room)
Behind the scenes on RUN (2021)
Ruth Greenberg is a writer-director making feminist genre films. Her directorial debut short, the BIFA-nominated RUN, is a powerful film starring Niamh Algar that puts us into the headspace which women are all too often forced to inhabit. Ruth’s British boxing feature, SUGAR, is in late-stage development with Wild Swim Films and the BFI as her debut directorial feature. Her post-apocalyptic British western, The Competitors, topped the Brit List 2016, and is positioned as her sophomore feature. As a screenwriter, Ruth’s horror, The Origin (directed by Andrew Cumming), is in post-production.
Ruth is in hot demand, currently developing horror features with Netflix, Imaginarium & Vertigo US as well as DCM. She’s been commissioned by Netflix US, the BFI, BBC Films, Film4, Creative Scotland and was awarded the Tribeca Film Institute Filmmakers Fund 2018.
