One Way

Ruby has never quite fit in. She is different, a little strange in the eyes of others, and often misunderstood in a society that seems to be moving backward rather than forward. Told in just three minutes, this short drama captures the experience of feeling like an outsider and the pressure to conform, as Ruby faces a world that offers only one apparent way out: play by the rules. One Way invites viewers to see themselves in her, because nearly everyone has at some point felt out of place or unaccepted for who they really are. Brief and reflective, the film is a meditation on individuality, belonging and the quiet struggle of staying true to yourself when the world around you insists that you change.
