With ambitions as high as they can be, Ruby Bell is something of a Cinderella, except her family is nice to her. She comes from a poor background and prefers to be invisible to the crowd at the school she attends. It’s her scholarship that led her to Maxton Hall; otherwise, she thinks she has no place with the cousins of an Arab Sheikh or the kid of Manchester United’s coach in a school where every brick reeks of money. Coming from a family where nobody’s been fortunate enough to attend university, Ruby dreams of going to Oxford, and she works hard for it.

Author Mona Kasten commented on the status of an English translation of the book Save Me, which inspired the recent Amazon Prime Video series Maxton Hall.
Save Me is the first of three novels, seemingly collectively called the Maxton Hall books. The books and the show both take place at the titular Maxton Hall private school, following Ruby Bell's journey of romance and secrecy.
Both takes on Maxton Hall are entirely in German, but English speakers can watch the new six-episode series either dubbed in English or in its original language with English subtitles.

Mandy Walker decided to become a cinematographer when she was 14 years old. She’d already been doing a lot of still photography — her father built her a dark room in their backyard in Melbourne, Australia, where she processed her black and white pictures — but then as she entered her teen years, she found herself drawn to the bigger canvas of motion pictures.
So, when the director of photography for “Elvis” and Disney’s 2020 live-action “Mulan” was 18, she set out to find a job in the movie business, only to discover there weren’t a whole lot of women working behind the camera as cinematographers or their assistants. “I thought, ‘There’s no way that there’s not any women in this job,’” Walker told The Wrap. “Why?
