Hi! I'm Isabelle, a queer creator from 150 Mile House dedicated to creating safe spaces for learning, creating, and developing community. I’ve been described as many things, a writer, a filmmaker, an artist, a publisher, a social change activist, a movie lover, a drop out, and a university graduate. But  I like to think of myself as a sponge made up of stardust that absorbs every action, thought, and word that comes my way, occasionally wringing myself out to create something with all of it.

From her volcano-surrounded and art-rich Puebla, Mexico, Paulina grew up to become a queer anti-colonial artist and ecofeminist, combining her life experience and sensitivity with her groundingness and versatility.

Coming from a right-wing city and a very patriarchal household, she went against what her family expected when, with a bachelor’s degree in business in hand, she decided to take the leap and follow her dream of becoming a professional actress in 2018. While at it, she noticed that most of the stories being told about women and 2SLGBTQIA groups were very stereotypical and harmful to them. And noticed this as a pattern in Latin America mass media, and decided to move up north to be able to tell different stories.

As a child of immigrants, I always knew I wanted to do one thing which was to follow in the footsteps of my parents and help others. What that looked like, I had no clue. It was my time at McGill University as a Political Science, Islamic Studies, and World Religions student that showed me I have a voice and using that voice to shout for others was one of the most powerful ways to help those who need it. 

Hey there! I'm Loren Watson, a young and passionate screenwriter on a mission to bring captivating stories to life. I have a Bachelors and Honors Degree in Film Arts with a specialization in Screenwriting from South Africa. Growing up in Southern Africa I have traveled all around the continent, witnessing many different African cultures has opened my eyes to how intersectional feminism affects women of different races and cultures. 

My love for Cinema and TV fuels my creativity, I have spent years writing scripts that include strong female characters. Trying (and sometimes failing) to produce realistic portrayals of how deep and flawed women can be. But with failure comes growth and I am lucky that I was surrounded by many intellectual

Hey! I’m Ariana.

I’m a film junkie, girly girl, and storyteller. I’m a born and bred Zimbabwean with a penchant for the macabre. If you’re into Niche cinema, horror, and taboo subjects, I’m your go-to girl.

My journey in film began with a camera in hand and a desire to tell stories that matter. As a white African, I understand how vital it is to see authentic diversity in media, especially for women. When I'm not

Hi there! I'm Julia DeCaria from Toronto, Ontario, and I'm the founder of DeCaria Digital Design Solutions.

I am currently studying political science at the University of Western Ontario, with the dream of becoming a lawyer one day.

Empowering women to embrace their true, authentic selves and achieve success in all areas of their lives is at the heart of my mission. As a young woman, I understand the unique challenges and barriers we face in a world that often stacks the odds against us. I've noticed that we often have to work twice as hard to be noticed, speak louder to be heard, and jump over many hurdles that patriarchy has put in our way to be successful.
