The Sleepover Club Special: Girls in Fil...

THE POLYESTER PODCAST
About this episode

It's our penultimate sleepover club of the year, and we've got a very special collaboration in store for you all. Teaming up with the collective Girls in Film, we sat down with director of The Love Witch, Anna Biller, to discuss the ins-and-outs of being a woman in the film industry. From misconceptions of the industry, to how to get your foot in the door, Anna's journey from art school to feature films, and how she made our favourite film of the last five years. We're also joined by Becs Rainey, freelance producer and member of Girls in Film, who's on hand with invaluable insight and advice for all the budding femme filmmakers out there.

The Polyester Podcast is brought to you by Polyester's founding editor in chief Ione Gamble (@ionegamble), and co-hosted and produced by Olivia Graham. Polyester is a self published culture zine exploring intersectional URL feminism in the IRL world. Have faith in your own bad taste!
