Rubin is currently at work with co-director Jen Gilomen on Ghosts of Appalachia , a feature-length documentary about mountaintop removal mining and America's increasing energy consumption. She is also editing The Freedom Files, a 9-part series for the ACLU produced by Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films. Sally’s work includes episodes on gay marriage, immigrant rights, and juvenile rights. Her latest editing credits include a short piece that screened at the 2007 SAG Awards in Los Angeles, Robert Greenwald's Iraq For Sale: The War Profiteers (Greenwald also made The Walmart Movie and Outfoxed), and work with the San Francisco-based production team, Citizen Film. She recently completed the hour-long nature film, Riverwebs, and the 45-minute Tombees du Ciel, about a French Holocaust survivor. Rubin is slated to collaborate with queer filmmaker and artist Ann Meredith on a piece about a motorcycle gang of breast cancer survivors.

After earning her M.A. in Documentary Film and Video from Stanford University, Rubin worked as Associate Producer on Janet Cole and Jamie Stobie's Freedom Machines, in addition to editing work with Ken Schneider on the ITVS-funded Granny D Goes to Washington and other shows. She also worked as Assistant Editor on Ellen Perry's Sundance favorite, The Fall of Fujimori.

Rubin's career has included films for PBS's Frontline, POV, Independent Lens, and American Experience series, as well as several other Sundance and Slamdance favorites, such as WGBH's Africans in America (1998), and David Sutherland's award-winning Farmer's Wife (1998).  In addition, Rubin was the Associate Producer of Sutherland's recent smash-hit, the 6-hour Frontline special Country Boys (2006).
