Ruby Film and Television, founded in 1999 by Alison Owen in London, is the company that produced Chatroom. Seven producers work with Ruby as their sole job: Paul Trijbits, Alison Owens, Faye Ward, Hannah Farrell, Jenny Frayn, Helen Gregory and Sophie Vickers. They are based in London (Lloyd Baker Street, which I read incorrectly as Baker Street and the Sherlock Holmes/Gerry Rafferty parts of my brain exploded). Their films/TV series have won 22 awards, including the Emmy Awards for Temple Grandin (2011). A full list of all their awards can be found here. They started out as a film company, making Rat in 2000, but branched out a year later to make Is Harry On The Boat?
The company does not use the same directors; each film has a different one, although in more than one case (Love And Hate/Love And Other Disasters/Fishtank) the writer has also directed the film. They've made some lower budget films, and some quite well known (The Other Boleyn Girl/Tamara Drew/Jane Eyre). They also tend to do a lot of films based on other works (Chatroom/Tamara Drewe/Brick Lane/Jane Eyre etc.)
They don't seem to have one type of film they do more than others; they do romantic comedies, dramas, comedies, thrillers and horrors.
