To get you properly into the Halloween mood this week, we are bring you the guest of all guests, someone we are such immense fans of, and have been dying to get on the pod since we found her on socials, we're talking about none other than the founder of FEMME REGARD herself, CAROLINA ALVAREZ!!!!

FEMME REGARD is a production company dedicated to reinventing cinematic roles through the female perspective. Focused on psychological horror and sci-fi storytelling, their work highlights women’s voices in bold, genre-driven narratives. Carolina's films challenge societal pressures and restrictions placed on women, exploring new ways to break stereotypes.

In this ep we talk about Women in Horror, creating and working on Women led sets, psychological Horror & body horror, shot list parties, what she’s learned from making a feature vs. a short, and sooo much more.

Executive Producer's Assistant, Showrunner's Assistant, Writer's Assistant, and Writers' PA; what are the differences in roles, lessons learned, and biggest advice from someone fresh off working in a Writers' room. Today on the pod we have Writer Nikita Iyer who talks to us all about her biggest advice for being in a Writers' room as a Writer’s PA , asking yourself the hard questions to see what you really want, that there is no age limit to starting what you really want to do as long as you can let go of your ego, how to read the room, the etiquette of pitching in a Writer’s room, and her best exercise to test if she’s on track with a pitch idea.

Nikita was most recently an assistant to a Co-Executive Producer and Writers’ PA on a television show for 20th / Hulu. Previously, she's worked at an agency for 3 years, first as an assistant in the TV department and then on the accounting team.

Nikita offers a unique perspective of seeing both sides of a Writer’s experience, understanding the pitches getting sent to and from an agency, the research of what gets picked up and why, and the intricacies and hierarchy of a Writer’s room.
 
Above all else this is a very informative and fun episode from a truly awesome person who opens up to share all she knows. Thank you for such a great convo Nikita! Can’t wait to hear about the next room you’re in.

We are ECSTATIC to be back at the Get Set! Podcast for SEASON 6!!! If you're new to us, WELCOME! This is a podcast where we demystify the idea of an overnight success, while highlighting the array of diverse jobs within the industry, with (of course) a focus on Women in the TV & Film spaces.

Co-Hosted by Jessica Payne & Monique Schwaneman, Co-Founders of Old Girls Entertainment, we are brining you 14 incredible guests this season to talk about their career journeys, the best lessons learned, and their advice on navigating the industry today in their field.

Before we kick of with our first guest of the season next Monday, today we come to you with an OG (Old Girls) episode, where we discuss a topic that has been on our minds or in the zeitgeist of what we've been hearing that other industry people are facing.

After coming from a Summer on set and on location, in development for our first Feature Film, and in the film festival circuit for our latest short FOR A MOMENT, our Season 6 Opener is all about Getting Through A Transition. And in this industry...aren't we always? How to we keep moving intentionally and most effectively at the end of one chapter while transitioning into the next? Maybe it's the end of a project, going into post, changing your main hyphenate, connecting or reconnecting with creative partners, or maybe it's a personal transition for you at the moment; reconning with a major life change, while trying to hold down the fort of your dreams.

Whatever transition you are going through, just know you are not alone, and this episode is for you. We hope it resonates with you and that you stick with us throughout this incredible Season 6 journey, and beyond!

Thoughts on this discussion or wants for what you want to hear this season? DM us at Old Girls Entertainment⁠ or email us directly at getsetpodcast@gmail.com

And don't forget that we offer even more over on our Patreon at patreon.com/OldGirlsEntertainment

See you next Monday with our first guest of the season!
