Director and writer Ruthy Pribar and actress Ronit Yudkevitz join the Filmmaker Mixer Podcast to discuss their latest film, What Is to Come, which premiers at the Tribeca Film Festival. Following the success of her acclaimed debut feature Asia, Ruthy shares how a chance encounter with a woman carrying an extraordinary story inspired her newest film. We explore the responsibility of adapting real-life trauma, finding hope inside devastating circumstances, directing emotionally complex performances, and how her perspective as a filmmaker has evolved since winning the Nora Ephron Prize at Tribeca. Ruthy also reflects on the themes of survival, gratitude, and reinvention that continue to shape her work.
