NCIS: Los Angeles star Daniela Ruah is set to direct the romantic short film My Type, starring Sadie Stanley (Cruel Summer) and Jacob Ward (The Summer House). Inspired by a true story, the film follows two twenty-somethings whose shared experience living with Type 1 diabetes leads to an unexpected connection. Shot on 16mm, the project reunites Ruah with cinematographer Rafael Leyva (Narcos: Mexico) and is currently filming in Santa Barbara. Ruah says the story is about “seeing the person, not the diagnosis.”
Elsewhere in film news, Caroline Williams (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) will headline indie horror Anathema: The Devil’s Doll, now in production and targeting a 2026 release. Meanwhile, Love Island USA, Love Island Games, and Love Island All Stars are heading to NBCUniversal Latin America as part of a major content deal with ITV Studios.
