Is this you? You know you want to make a film you’re proud of, but you don’t know how to get started. Or maybe you're tired of auditions for one-dimensional roles, or over seeing yet another badly written script from a mediocre white man and you want to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, you’re in the right place.
In this podcast we’ll cover:
Pioneering women in film from the Golden Age of Hollywood to today,
How you can write, produce and star in your own projects,
And what to do with your film once it’s done.
I’m Emily Grace and I empower women, especially actresses, to take their success into their own hands by learning how to write and produce their own work. I’m a Sundance award-winning actress, a writer, producer and founder of the Pickford West Society. I’ve helped hundreds of people write a short film that they love and can take on the film festival circuit.

BONUS Episode: When your project ruffles feathers!
In this special bonus episode, I interview actress and filmmaker Natalie Neckyfarrow about how to deal with backlash that comes when your project strikes a nerve.
Is it time to pack it in and dim your light to make others comfortable? Hell no! Your project matters, and rising to the occasion is required of every pioneer.
It's essential to support a project like Natalie's. It puts female pleasure front and center, instead of hidden in a dusty corner never to be spoken of. Films that this effect change. They spark conversations that are desperately needed.

Captivating Insights and Storytelling Advice
Emily Grace's new podcast, Film Broads, See? is an absolute gem!
I recently listened to the episode 'Is my idea good enough?' and loved her view on Barbie's Oscar snubs, providing fascinating insights into the movie's incredible success, gender disparity, and Ken's nomination over Barbie (highlighting the plot of the film and how women get overlooked.)
However, what sets this episode apart is Emily's unique perspective on creativity.
She challenges the conventional idea assessment, encouraging you to focus on character development instead.
Emily's insights on determination and character flaws are delivered with engaging charm. Her use of The Devil Wears Prada as a case study adds relatability to complex concepts.
This podcast is a must-listen for creators seeking fresh perspectives on storytelling.
Keep up the fantastic work, Emily!
Love it!
Emily really knows her stuff when it comes to developing characters and screenplays. I can’t wait to listen to more!
