Being our most frequent collaborator, Jayde Manning has appeared in Why Are You Sad, Coming Home, Demi, Extra Time and now our latest film Foxhole. She speaks to us about her experience on the short thriller and what is was like to get away from London and film in the countryside. 

Poppy Evans talks to us about her first experience with Rianne Pictures. From featuring in the early stages of the project as part of the fund raising prequel film, to moving into her first role with us as Kathryn. 

She made her debut feature film appearance with us for her role as Dianna in Demi, where she was praised by reviewers for her emotional and powerful performance. Here Kerenza Qayum speaks to us about her role in Foxhole, this time as the antagonist in the story. 

The final installment in our female directors season of interviews is the talented Science Fiction focused director Aurora Fearnley. She talks to us about her upcoming projects Pulsar and Tipping Point, while discussing the challenges of being a female director in the industry and balancing the dual role of a director/actress.

Claire Leona Appas has been working in the film industry for over a decade. Her debut feature 'And Then I Was French' has been described as 'a kooky, genre-twisting commercial thriller with a surrealist tilt'. Here she talks about the progress of moving from short films to features and finding your way in the industry.

With her upcoming debut feature film Pin Cushion, Deborah Haywood speaks to us about her inspirations behind her work and the challenge from moving from shorts to features. 

Another addition to our female directors interview season, Daisy Moore speaks with us about her short film, Rituals, and her experiences in both acting and directing. 

As a part of our female directors interview season, we spoke with the great Nour Wazzi, a Lebanese filmmaker who founded Panacea Productions in 2008, about her experiences in filmmaking. In the span of thirteen years, she worked with names like Emilia Clarke, Maisie Williams, Earl Cameron and Oscar nominee Ari Folman. It's no surprise that Wazzi appeared as a future star on BBC's talent hotlist!

For the latest part of our female directors interview series, we are with London based filmmaker Laura Hypponen, who is also the founder of Electric Blue Films. Hypponen's debut feature Live East Die Young (2012) was nominated Best UK Feature at Raindance and Golden Hitchcock at Dinard. She talks to us about changes in the industry and crowdfunding.
