Jane Seymour, known for her celebrated career ranging from the 1973 Bond girl "Solitaire" to Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman and more recently The Kaminsky Method, embraces one of the most powerful and emotionally charged roles of her career. Ruby's Choice intricately weaves a poignant narrative around a teenage girl whose life takes a profound turn when she shares her space with her grandmother (Seymour) battling dementia. What begins as initial resentment transforms into a journey of love, self-discovery, and the revelation of long-held family secrets.

The film stars Jane Seymour, Jacqueline McKenzie (Deep Blue Sea), Coco Jack Gillies (Mad Max: Fury Road), Stephen Hunter (The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey), Rory Potter (The Dressmaker).

Lise Romanoff, CEO and Managing Director of Vision Films shares, "This is a beautiful film about the very real impact dementia has on a family. Jane Seymour's performance is beautiful, moving, and puts a realistic face to such a pervasive and difficult disease."

Director Michael Budd says, "The issue of Dementia is very much a personal one. I was inspired to make Ruby's Choice, having lost my grandmother, who suffered from Dementia. I wanted to create a movie that tells a beautiful story about family love and Dementia through three generations of inspiring women. My hope in making this film is that we can open a conversation about a subject of significant importance to make the process easier for their loved ones and themselves."

Jane Seymour adds, "I am thrilled that this film will now be able to reach audiences across the US and Canada. Alzheimer's is a disease that affects so many around the world. Ruby's Choice presents to audiences a unique perspective on this disease and I'm hopeful that the messaging within the film can provide comfort and positivity for many."

Ruby's Choice is set for TVOD release simultaneously in the United States and in the United Kingdom on May 7, 2024 followed by DVD at major online retailers.
