‘The Tale’s’ Jennifer Fox Unpacks ‘Ruth’s Ghosts,’ a ‘High-Stakes Supernatural Thriller’ Bound for Series Mania After Winning Selection at Berlin


Fox, behind 2018 Sundance hit ‘The Tale,’ returns with another hugely timely project set in a 2030 U.S. under a nationwide abortion ban.

Jennifer Fox, director of Sundance 2018 hit “The Tale” – “a landmark advance in the field of cinematic memoir,” said Variety – is bound for Series Mania in Lille with “Ruth’s Ghosts.” Hailed by Series Mania as “bold and necessary,” “Ruth’s Ghosts” joins 15 other projects at the Pitching Sessions as a sixteenth title presented out of competition in partnership with the Berlinale Co-Production Market. From her first title as a documentarian, 1987’s “Beirut: the Last Home Movie” which won a Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival in 1988, “Ruth’s Ghosts,” her first narrative series, continues Fox’s move into what she has called “social issue fiction.”
