WATCH: ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK's Breakout Star Ruby Rose in a Gorgeous Short Film About Gender Identity
By now, you're probably deep enough into the requisite vegetative stage of your Orange is the New Black binge — if not done with entirely — to have become acquainted with season three's breakout star: the gorgeous, gender-fluid Australian actress/media personality Ruby Rose, whose sly, seductive, and sarcastic new inmate Stella Carlin successfully came between ambivalent exes Piper and Alex, while making straight female viewers everywhere suddenly question their sexuality.
If you're looking to learn more about Rose, the best place to begin is her 2014 short film Break Free, which offers some inspiring, straightforward commentary on gender identity and the personal perils of subscribing too rigidly to socially prescribed roles.
Watch the video above to kill time during your now year-long wait for Orange's 2016 return.
