About this Event
Back again. It's been too long!
New venue. Same brilliant room of women who actually get it.
Leading Ladies is a relaxed, no-pressure space for 1st, 2nd and 3rd ADs (and those stepping up) to meet, share stories and feel a bit less alone doing one of the most stressful jobs in the film industry.
Wednesday 6th May
7:00PM (prompt start)
FOMO House, Shoreditch
This month’s guest: Sarah Lucas
(Adolescence, Boiling Point, Prima Facie, Enola Holmes 3)
We’re excited to be joined by AD royalty, the queen of the one takes. Sarah will hang out and chat to us about the reality of these 'on paper' impossible projects and how she tackles the day ahead.
What to expect:
- A room full of ADs who get it (no explaining your job for once)
- Quick, low-pressure icebreakers so you can walk away with a new friend
- A focused chat on one-take filmmaking and how it actually works in practice with Sarah Lucas
- Space to ask the questions you actually care about
- Time to hang out properly after. Chats, beers, decompression
Important
Please arrive on time for 7pm so we can get straight into it.
Drinks will be available to purchase at the bar.
This event is designed for working ADs and those already stepping up into the department. If you’re looking to break into the industry, this probably isn’t the right fit just yet. We’d recommend starting with communities like Girls in Film who run great entry-level events.
Who it’s for:
- 1st, 2nd, 3rd ADs working in the film industry
- People who want community without forced networking energy
Tickets
We’ve tried to keep this free for as long as we can due to the generosity of our venues but as we continue we need to cover venue fees to host you in a great space and bring great people together.
Tickets are £5 (+ Eventbrite fee).
If that’s genuinely a barrier, message us.
A note from us
This started as something small, an idea birthed by us (Elle and Rose) who wanted to build solid female AD teams, didn't know who to recommend and ultimately felt pretty isolated in a male dominated industry. Since our start two years ago we've seen jobs get landed, best friends get made, many a drink consume and confident recommendations get passed on... so we must be doing something right!
No egos, no weird pitching, no pressure. Just good people doing a tough job, sharing what they know. We look forward to seeing you.
