The compelling drama I Am Ruth garnered significant attention by securing two awards at the 2023 Bafta TV Awards, sparking curiosity about the filming locations of this remarkable movie.
Part of the I Am anthology series by Dominic Savage, this 90-minute feature showcases Kate Winslet in a role that earned her the Best Actress award at the Baftas.
Premiering in the UK in December 2022, the narrative centers around a mother, portrayed by Winslet, who grapples with her daughter’s deteriorating mental health, exacerbated by social media pressures. The production took place primarily in the UK.
Notably, Winslet was spotted filming scenes for I Am Ruth at an accountancy firm located in Guildford, a picturesque town in West Surrey, England, adding a genuine British backdrop to the film’s powerful story.
Guildford is a small town with a population of approximately 145,000. It is located 45km southwest of central London.
