"'The end of an era' is the film's recurring theme. How could it not be? Ruth and the CFDA both cared deeply about the fast-changing business, and the transfer of the Calendar was a long-time-coming urgent solution to a problem affecting the entire industry, with no clear answers. The sale was difficult for Ruth, who had hoped to keep her business within the family. I wanted to show that her work had also inspired a new generation to define its own hopes, challenges, and solutions," said filmmaker Christian D. Bruun.
