Emily Ruhl: Founder of Public School Pictures

This week we chat with the young and ambitious model-turned-writer and producer, Emily Ruhl. 

Emily is the founder of Public School Pictures, a full-service creative studio currently producing her first TV series, 13th Stepping. Before venturing into the world of film and production, Emily was the face of our favorite magazine prints and makeup lines for nearly a decade, starting at only age thirteen! Transitioning from the spotlight of the fashion and beauty industry to her role behind the scenes in film, this episode covers it all…

In this episode the pair go back to the beginning of Emily’s journey at New York Fashion Week, age thirteen, where she was scouted and signed to her first modeling contract in Tokyo. Appearing as the face of everyone’s favorite magazines and makeup lines, Emily offers insight into her teenage years and what it meant to grow up fast in a city that never sleeps. She then dives into the challenges of growing up in the public eye as she transitions into film. Now, at twenty-three years old, she’s embracing the film industry not only through acting, but now writing and producing her first TV series, 13th Stepping, through her own production company, Public School Pictures. Conversations on mental obstacles, living alone in NYC as a teenager, and the inspiration behind her films today are just the beginning…
