Rebecca Eskreis

Rebecca Eskreis isn’t just another name in the credits—she’s got a knack for stories that actually stick with you. If you’ve seen "What Breaks the Ice" from 2020, you know what I’m talking about. This isn’t your average coming-of-age drama. Two teenage girls, way different backgrounds, summer in a small town—cue secrets, danger, and all that messy, real-life stuff that adults like to pretend teens don’t deal with. Eskreis dives right into those raw, awkward moments, letting the characters get messy and make mistakes. It’s not sanitized. The movie actually lets its leads be complicated, which, honestly, is kind of rare. Now, switch gears—she also worked on "Justin Timberlake + the Tennessee Kids" back in 2016. If you thought concert films were just shaky cams and screaming fans, Eskreis helps turn it into something electric. The energy? Off the charts. You get backstage peeks, killer performances, and just enough behind-the-scenes chaos to remind you these mega-stars are human, too. And don’t even get me started on "Inequality for All" (2013). This one’s a documentary, and it hits hard. Robert Reich is front and center, breaking down economic inequality in the US, but Eskreis’s touch keeps it from feeling like a boring lecture. She brings focus to real people, real stories, and the stakes are clear. You’ll walk away feeling like, “Wow, I actually get why this matters.” So, Eskreis? She’s not boxed in. She jumps from gritty drama, to concert magic, to eye-opening docs, and manages to leave a mark every single time.
