MEET THE GHOST TOILET TEAM
Writer & Director - Kara White
Kara is an award-winning Director and Producer of short films, documentaries, web series, and commercials. With a love for storytelling and passion for tales of strong
women, she directed the award-winning short film “The Resistance” about women spies in WWII France. Kara also has a passion for horror films: the stories of WWII resistance fighters feel like a horror movie. She has also directed the documentary/narrative film “Rise Above: WASP” about the Women Airforce Service Pilots from WWII.
She has received Emmy nominations for Directing, Writing, and Research and has won Emmy awards for Writing, Best Documentary, and Technical Achievement, along with multiple film festival awards (Best Drama, Director, Screenplay, Editing, Audience Choice Award). Her feature length script, “The Aviatrix”, was selected as a finalist in the Hollywood International Diversity Film Festival.
Producer - Robert Ruggeri
Robert Ruggeri is an award-winning producer and director hailing from
tropical Cleveland, Ohio. As a producer, Robert’s first two films, Take
Shelter and Kings of Summer, both premiered at the Sundance Film
Festival and went on to receive worldwide distribution. Take Shelter,
starring Jessica Chastain and Michael Shannon, took home the top prize
for Best Picture at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival Critic’s Week
competition in 2011. Robert’s follow up films, G Funk, a documentary he
produced with Rapper Warren G, and the Helen Hunt Thriller, I See You,
both premiered at the SXSW Film Festival to critical reviews and sold to
Google/YouTube Premium and Amazon Prime, respectively. I See You
reached #1 on both Amazon Prime and Netflix during its release.
Robert considers himself the same excited kid who was outside filming
sketches and short films with his friends, albeit with much more
expensive equipment these days. He loves the collaboration of film and
enjoys working on projects with his friends. That is why he was drawn
to Ghost Toilet, (besides the great title) teaming him up with long time
friends and fellow collaborators, Kara and Adam White, a duo that he
has been working with for the past 20 years.
