Lotte and Karlijn Milder — aka the Milder Sisters are a film directing duo and, as their name suggests, actual sisters. Combining their expertise in acting and cinematography, the duo focuses on bringing untold, mostly female-driven stories to life. Their passion lies in directing fictional content, which made it a dream come true to recently shoot their first international period piece, Fanny. This project featured a country mixed cast and crew and was shot in the Netherlands, Hungary, and Belgium. In 2025, the sisters will develop their feature film debut, Masquerade, in collaboration with screenwriter Jolein Laarman, expanding the narrative introduced in Fanny. Additionally, they are working with a Dutch broadcaster on Snail, another short period piece. Beyond their narrative work, the sisters are currently directing a documentary and have worked on several commercials for renowned brands such as Rijksmuseum, Tommy Hilfiger, Philips, and Essity. Emotionally rich and visually refined, their films are crafted to connect with a diverse audience.
