Welcome to The AWFC!

We are a community of composers and colleagues who strive to support and celebrate the work of women composers through advocacy and education. This visibility is important to herald in equality amongst our industry and bring diverse voices to film, television, video games and multimedia projects. We are proud to host the first ever directory of women film composers allowing filmmakers and decision makers the opportunity to discover new talent. Please also check out The AWFC Code of Conduct, and our weekly composer spotlight featuring short interviews with our members.

Episode 2 of Equalised Sound is out now!

Brought to you by Siren Music - siren.uk.com - in collaboration with the Alliance for Women Film Composers, Equalised Sound is a space for creatives across the industry to come together and discuss their experiences and careers.

On this episode, our hosts Alice Benton (Music Supervisor, SIREN) and Jenna Fentimen (Head of Agency, Manners McDade and AWFC UK Director of Relations), are joined by BISHI (artist, composer, producer), CATTY (artist, songwriter) and Fiona Cruickshank (freelance engineer and producer at AIR Studios).

Together we discuss their experiences in the industry so far and how they have defined themselves throughout the various phases of their careers. Plus, the power of building your own team, trying and failing as a recipe for success, and why being afraid and doing it anyway is the best career advice anyone could ever give you.
