About Me


SHOW REEL Current
DIRECTOR'S BIOGRAPHY
Ruth Paxton is an impassioned young Edinburgh filmmaker and artist who recently graduated from a Post-Graduate diploma in Film at Screen Academy Scotland via Edinburgh College of Art. For seven years she has focused on writing, directing, producing and designing for an eclectic mix of projects; encompassing fiction, non-fiction, experimental and music video. Ruth’s films are bold and powerful and she has a unique way of visualising, stylising and capturing the intimacy and complexity of deeply human tales.
Primarily a writer/director, Ruth has developed a strong sensibility in relation to culture, art and fashion and as an individual with definite and defined stylistic vision, she is developing skills in production design and art direction for both film and stills.
Collaborative relationships with family, friends and fellow artists are essential to Ruth’s method and she is keen to expand these working relationships to create fresh, new work. Ruth is focussed on her career in writing and directing for narrative and experimental drama, while pursuing opportunities to direct and design for music videos. She is currently working in the industry as a designer on various projects while developing a new Short film project with her producer.
A born director.
