Ruth Wilson, Jude Law on Producing Venice Festival Film ‘True Things’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Leo Barraclough International Features Editor“True Things,” which world premieres Saturday in Venice’s Horizons section, is the fruit of a collaboration between the production companies of two stars, Jude Law and Ruth Wilson, the first feature film that she has produced, as well as The Bureau, a production company with a stellar track-record for delivering arthouse hits. When literary agent Cathryn Summerhayes sent Deborah Kay Davies’ novel “True Things About Me” to Ben Jackson, who runs Law’s production company, Riff Raff U.K., he found the story “gripping, interesting and weirdly relatable,” as well as “very modern and timely.”The story follows a thirtysomething, fed-up singleton with a dreary job in a dead-end town.
