Ep 11: Ruby Challenger - Part 2

Part 2 of Ruby (your host) and Leonie (your editor and producer of this poddy!) in front of the mic! Leonie interviews Ruby, hot off the plane from Cannes about her experience traveling to the huge festival with small children in tow! When Ruby and Mums in Film producer Leonie Marsh first met, Leonie interviewed Ruby as she was fresh off the plane from France after her film MumLife had premiered at Cannes Film Festival. This chat is split into two parts as we couldn't stop talking, and it's a really great listen to Ruby's thoughts post-festival with children. Ruby's short film, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj2hXKl-2_U&t=1s" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">MumLife</a>, screened in official competition in the 2022 La Cinef section at Cannes Film Festival. Five weeks earlier she had given birth to her second baby, so she packed up her family of four and took them to the festival! MumLife is a 15 minute musical about post-natal anxiety and is now enjoying a festival run. This year she released <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nexttheseries/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Next</a> - a drama episodic filmed specifically for release on social media. Ruby completed her Masters of Screen Arts in Directing at the Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS) in 2021. She wrote her thesis on motherhood and the cinema, looking at mothers in front and behind the screen, which she released on Instagram. Ruby has been on film sets since she was born - legend has it her first trip after the hospital was a film set to visit her dad (she was born during his film shoot - sorry dad). Following her unofficial education in filmmaking, her career in the film industry began in the Art and Costume departments, which took her all around Australia. Her first short film as Director/Producer/Writer, Daily Bread, played at festivals around Australia and the world and winning awards including the St Kilda Film Festival People’s Choice. Produced by <a href="https://www.rubychallenger.com/">Ruby Challenger </a>and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/leonie_marsh/">Leonie Marsh</a>.
