Kathy Rose plays Ruth, a young woman whose life has taken a turn for the worse, in the Michael Hayes-directed RTE/Filmbase short film LEAVE opposite Moe Dunford which premiered at the 2015 Galway Film Fleadh.

Amanda Moriarty has been cut off by her parents after a number of vain attempts at self-expression. Her dream of finding her 'thing' is folly to them and enough is enough. Paul, a life-coach, is hired to lick her into shape but the plan backfires as Amanda's true voice starts to emerge.
