“I

"Being part of the 225 Film Club with our award winning film

"The Woman in The Wardrobe", was so incredibly special. Screening at the BFI

amongst so many other insanely talented Female directors was both encouraging

and deeply inspiring. The community that has been built past the event

has been priceless and I couldn't have asked for a better way to engage a

wider audience in one of our earliest screenings. Rita was the warmest host,

making sure that each and everyone of us felt valued and central to the experience.

It was an evening that we will never forget as a team! Not to be missed!"

Ruby Phelan, Director "The Woman In The Wardrobe"

"Getting involved in the 225 Film Club has been one of the most beautiful and

rewarding things I have done with my filmmaking journey so far. Having had the opportunity to screen films there two years in a row, I also feel like I have had the privilege of watching it grow,

and seeing how an experience is curated, not just an event. It is a celebration of

female filmmakers but it is also a community - something that underrepresented groups in our industry so desperately need. Collaboration not competition.

It is an exquisite bubble of pure magic."

Catherine Joy White, Producer "Ceres" & "Fifty-Four Days"

Director of upcoming feature film,"Black Samphire"
