Award-winning costumer designer Ruth Carter will receive the Coolidge Award from the Coolidge Corner Theater in Brookline this Sunday. Established in 2004, the Coolidge Award is given to a"film artist" whose body of work has made significant impacts on cinema.
"Massachusetts where I was born and raised," said Carter in an interview with WBUR."This community is bringing home one of their own. You know, I just feel like I am my ancestors dream by receiving this award." Though Carter has trekked across the globe to work on films as a costume designer, she still considers herself a"daughter of Massachusetts." She grew up with seven siblings in Springfield.
"I applied for internships all over the country," Carter said."I came back to Springfield to intern at Stage West, called City Stage now." "We evolve through fashion. We take on the details of what's available to us to express ourselves," said Carter."It tells such a larger story. About not only us, but our circumstances. When you look at costume design, you look at it through that lens of telling a story about humanity and how the composition and the collaboration of each other tells the story about our society.
