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, they focus on bringing untold, often female-driven stories to life. Their passion lies in fiction, which made it a dream come true to shoot their first international period piece, Fanny. The film premiered as the opening film of the Oscar-qualifying Busan International Short Film Festival and featured an international cast and crew, with filming taking place in the Netherlands, Hungary, and Belgium.
The sisters are currently developing their debut feature, Masquerade (working title), together with screenwriter Jolein Laarman and with support from the Netherlands Film Fund, expanding on the narrative introduced in Fanny. With the same team, they are also developing another short period piece about the world’s first female race car driver. Emotionally rich and visually refined, their films are crafted to connect with a diverse audience.
