An LA-based film production company telling bold, genre-bending stories through the female lens.
le regard féminin
Derived from the French term for “the female gaze,” Femme Regard is a production company dedicated to reinventing cinematic roles through the female perspective. Focused on psychological horror and sci-fi storytelling, our work highlights women’s voices in bold, genre-driven narratives. We believe women have countless amazing stories to tell, yet they are all too often framed only through a male lens. Our films challenge societal pressures and restrictions placed on women, exploring new ways to break stereotypes.
We also believe women deserve equal opportunities in every aspect of filmmaking. Femme Regard strives to bring together talented female writers, directors, actresses, producers, cinematographers, sound operators, composers, editors, and more to create beautiful, boundary-pushing art. Our mission is to expand roles for women both in front of and behind the camera.
Co-founded in 2018 by Carolina Alvarez and Tessa Markle, Femme Regard produced several award-winning short films, 17 seasons of the Femme Regard Podcast, and in 2024 launched our debut psy-fi feature film, SYNC. Carolina now solely leads the company, continuing to build the brand around women-centered stories and diverse creators.
