Wikipedia article
'Calendar Girl' is an American documentary film about Ruth Finley (19202018), founder and editor of the Fashion Calendar. It was directed and produced by Christian D. Bruun and produced and written by Natalie Nudell. The film premiered at the 2020 DOC NYC via virtual screenings.
Production
'Calendar Girl' was made over five years, filming exclusively in New York. Production began after director Christian D. Bruun was approached by Kate DelPizzo (who later became a producer of the film), a family friend of Ruth Finley. Ruth's life's work, the Fashion Calendar, was about to be sold to the CFDA, signaling the end of an era in American fashion. Filming commenced during the last months before the closing of the Fashion Calendar office on Manhattan's Upper Eastside and captured the in-house printing of the last mailed-out issue. Over the following two years the director and producer Natalie Nudell followed Ruth in her daily life; both in the fashion world as well as her personal life after retirement.
