Ruby Rose Collins is a filmmaker whose work explores memory—how it warps, reshapes, and ultimately defines our lives. She is drawn to the fragile lines between truth and perception, often blending personal history with collective memory. With a background in investigative documentary and a B.A. in Film and African American Studies from Wesleyan University, Ruby’s storytelling is rooted in nonfiction sensibilities. She was a 2020 Fellow at the Creative Visions Foundation’s Women Excel Project. Her short documentary My Abortion Saved My Life (2022) premiered at Outfest Los Angeles and went on to screen at more than twenty festivals worldwide. Her latest narrative film, all the love i could handle, premiered at Blackstar, ABFF, Hollyshorts & more.
