“It’s important for me to keep telling women’s stories, and exploring a woman’s place in the world as I see it because we need to have more of our stories celebrated on a global scale,” says writer, director and co-producer Sarah Jayne Portelli.
“Change only comes about through action, and if we truly believe in equality, then we all need to take action to build a future free of disparity. As a male producer, I am aware of the unique position and privilege I have to foster the stories I choose: and if I choose to foster stories about female empowerment, then I can hopefully be a contributing part of that change I want to see. We are all unique. And we all deserve to have our stories heard,” adds producer Ivan Malekin.
Daughter (28 min) is an awareness focused short film exploring violence against women and victim blaming. Each character’s experience shows the audience that any woman can become a target of violence and that victim blaming is an unjustified response to a much deeper, ingrained problem lingering on the surface of society.

Friends, Foes & Fireworks (75 min) is a dramatic feature film which was shot in one night and is totally improvised. The film stars five female leads, with the story touching on profound women’s issues such as breast cancer, female friendships, women’s health, work pressures / expectations and mental illness. The film is also accompanied by an Udemy course where the filmmaking team discusses their improvised creative process and how they shot the film in a 24-hour turnaround, without a script.
