Isaac Ruth is an award-winning writer and director working in film, TV, and digital media. Having been an editor, director of photography, composer, colorist, sound designer, and producer in numerous projects, he specializes in having a keen eye toward all facets of filmmaking. I would know because I’m him. Hi. It’s me.
After being scouted by Apple for his specialty in short-form horror, Isaac worked with Media Arts Lab to pitch and develop Apple’s first shot-on-iPhone short horror film, THOSE THAT FOLLOW, eventually attaching director Parkpoom Wongpoom (SHUTTER) to direct and shoot in Thailand. Isaac assisted in developing the story, writing the English version of the script for client approval and subtitle translation, and overseeing the project to ensure brand safety as well as genre and audience expectations. The short film went on to win multiple awards and garner over 11 million views, becoming one of Apple’s most successful projects.
In 2018, Isaac’s feature script SEARCHERS was optioned for development after a successful run on the Blacklist as well as several festivals, with Netflix’s involvement soon to follow. It was developed into a mini-series that was put on hold during the beginning of the 2020 pandemic. He has since began development through his own company, Ruthless Stories, and created a proof-of-concept short film for the project which has earned wide critical acclaim and has since been purchased by ALTER.
During the pandemic, Isaac spent his time writing and producing short films such as AFTER HOURS and THE FEEDING, winning multiple awards, placing in dozens of festivals, and garnering hundreds of thousands of views on social media.
Isaac’s extensive work with Square Enix included not only the creation of their 7-part Starter Guide Series, creating original characters, writing each episode, and directing voice actors, but also the campaign for their latest expansion Dawntrail. The pitch for Dawntrail included the creation of the fictional Board of Turalism, which was eventually awarded and starred Rhys Darby as the comical Interim Deputy Director of Turalism. Isaac then went on to write the entirety of the Board of Turalism website, spoofing other tourism websites as well as creating dozens of easter eggs and inside jokes for the FFXIV Online community.
