You can watch Anastasia in 'In From The Cold' on Netflix and as the lead of TV series; 'Heirs Of The Night'.
'Thank you FFC for organising such amazing sessions always! It was a delight to hear about A.V. Rockwell her journey and the experience of making 'A Thousand And One', I feel incredibly inspired!'

Yes you always have the oppurunity to upgrade your cohort. As you advance in your career we will make sure that you work towards taking that next Stage in your journey.
Most of our events are between 45-60 min on Wednesdays at 7pm GMT. Our FFC app makes the club easy to access anytime, anywhere whenever you have a min or two.
We don’t have any clutter/advertisement on our app so you won’t waste time scrolling through uninteresting junk to find valuable information. If you have time to scroll through social media, you can scroll through the FFC and get one step closer to your successful feature instead ;).
Of course! This platform is not only for cis-gender woman but EVERY WOMXN or non-binary filmmaker is more than welcome to be a member!
We are committed to making the club as inclusive as possible and welcome any feedback. Our mission is to work towards a film industry that celebrates ALL humans and are willing to listen, learn, and amplify the voices that have been silenced for too long.
In addition, if you are a male-identifying filmmaker that would love to level up with us, our doors are open.
We are not a traditional job posting platform, but Stage Three members can post job openings within the FFC community in our exclusive Job Posting space, which is only accessible to Stage Two members. Depending on your experience, you can apply for these roles and collaborate with others who share your ambitions. Many of our members have achieved success by connecting through FFC over time, leading to exciting projects and creative partnerships that, in some cases, have even involved international collaboration.
We are a sisterhood to give support alongside your creative journey and if that is what you are looking for, absolutely. We have editors, film distributors, composers, casting agents and more joining our membership.
Just be aware that our industry events are mostly tailored to writers/directors/actors/producers such as script readings, making a pitch deck etc.
We’ve created the club with you in our minds and have therefor decided that every meeting is child-friendly, you can bring your child along and we’ll make sure that everyone watches their languages and the topics are appropriate when there are children around. This way you don't have to choose, we'll make sure you can do it all!
That’s great! The Female Film Club is more than just a networking platform, we are here to get you accountability and to support your growth. We're an international community that supports and cheers you on a good day, a bad day, and everything in between.
You’re speaking to the most A-technical women, because of this we made our membership platform extremely easy to use, if we can do it, so can you! On top of that we’ll guide you through any problems and you can always email us. As long as you’ll have a smartphone or laptop you’ll be absolutely fine.
It's no surprise that there is a big gender disparity in the film industry. We are here to ensure that women don't hold themselves back from making a successful feature (because there's never enough of them!).
We have created a safe space where sensitive conversations can be brought up and discussed, particularly female specific problems as there is a lack of support for women in the film industry.
We still value and champion brilliant films made by men and will recommend those films who honour the female gaze.
Don’t worry, this is exactly why many women join the Female Film Club. You see how comfortable you’ll feel after just one meetup and how welcoming our members are. We’ll make sure you’ll feel relaxed and heard. The sessions are being led, and there is no pressure at all on the amount you’ll speak.
With 48 different nationalities in the club, no one expects others to be fluent in English. Everyone in our community is respectful and we LOVE having so many women speaking different languages.
Google translate and join the conversation in the chat is always an option, perhaps there are more members that speak your language and Nicole and Liza speak 9 languages combined so there might even be a chance we can translate for you!
The algorithm might not push those great indie films forward that can really enrich your life, we filter them for you and provide you with resources about the film so you know the backstory of the female filmmakers.
We’re choosing a broad range of female directed, written and produced films and because of the budget many female filmmakers get, this results often in them being (prestigious award winning) indie films. These films will enrich your filmmaker career and open your mind in ways that the average blockbuster won't. (+we're so much more than a streaming platform;) )
Learn from the best in the industry and be guided on how to grow your craft and develop your professional skills.
FFC curated events which will help transform your mindset, personal well-being and growth and create lifelong connections with other creatives.
Female and non-binary creatives from 50+ countries come together to gain knowledge, watch films, create a resilient mindset and share their wins with each other.
