Leading Ladies: 1st, 2nd & 3rd ADs
A relaxed, no-pressure night for women in the AD department to connect, share what they know and spend some time in a room that gets it.
Leading Ladies is back.
New venue, same brilliant mix of women doing one of the most stressful jobs in film.
We started Leading Ladies because we wanted to know more women in the AD department. People we could recommend, call for advice, work with and actually become friends with. Two years later, jobs have been landed, recommendations passed around, friendships made and quite a lot of drinks consumed.
This session we are lucky to be joined by Ang Batten 1st AD magician in the HETV land. From coming of age favourite Sex Education to high paced location thrillers Hijack and most recently War starring Sienna Miller for HBO. We are so excited to chat through her achievements and broad range of work.
What to expect
A room full of ADs who actually understand what you do
A few very low-pressure ways to meet people you haven't met before
Special guest 1st AD, Ang Batten in conversation
No forced networking. No pitching yourself to strangers. No egos.
Who it's for
Leading Ladies is for working 1st, 2nd and 3rd ADs, and people already stepping up within the department.
If you're looking for your first route into the film industry, this probably isn't the right event yet. We'd recommend communities such as Girls in Film, who run brilliant entry-level events.
Tickets
Leading Ladies is completely not-for-profit the small ticket price helps us cover the room and keep putting these nights on.
