    Ep 15: Female Film Club Co-Founder Liza van der Smissen

    Today, I'm thrilled to introduce a truly inspiring guest, Liza van der Smissen, who has made remarkable strides in the film industry. Starting her journey as an actress, Liza founded the Female Film Club during the pandemic, which has quickly grown into the go-to online members club for female filmmakers. Her work has been recognised multiple times in Variety, underscoring her impact and dedication. Beyond her role as a founder, Liza is a dynamic presenter, hosting panel discussions and Q&As with some of the industry's most prominent women. She continues to stay active in the film industry, not only as an actress but also as a producer and AD. Liza and I connected on Instagram earlier this year, and from one female founder to another, we instantly clicked. Our Zoom conversation was nothing short of amazing, and I'm confident that our communities will learn so much from each other. So, without further ado, let's dive into this conversation with Liza and explore the incredible insights she has to share.
