Ruth Cook is a Creative Producer, Director at Freelance at Christie's. She possess expertise in film production, screenwriting, film, video, editing and 21 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "Ruth directed the first film commissioned by the Open Cinema Filmmaking Programme, a programme which has now produced 51 films. The film she produced and supervised, a participatory portmanteau snapshot by five residents of an East London hostel, is still one of the best and most garlanded films produced by OCFP. The film runs at only 3 minutes, but captures the nuance of tragedy and hope in the lives of people befallen by homelessness. The film was an official selection at Sheffield Doc/Fest and at Globian's Doc Fest in Berlin, played at BAFTA, Open City Docs Fest and in a special event at the Edinburgh Film Festival. Ruth quickly developed flourishing working relationships with the film's participants, transferring many practical, life and media skills in the process, and produced an enduring result of which they were all proud. Open Cinema would be honoured to have the opportunity to work with Ruth again - though she is much in demand - and is glad to commend her to the attention of any prospective employer." and "Ruth brought from minute one a great attitude to the job, it was in fact thanks to her ability to handle complex situations that the project was successfully completed. She listened feedback from client and included ideas of her own that improved considerably the quality of project and delivering a great final result. She was very easy to deal with, open and communicative and very knowledgeable about every stage of video making. I would highly recommend her and surely will be hiring her services again in the future."
