Milder Sisters

otte 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 bring 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 the feature filim Masquerade (working title), together with screenwriter Jolein Laarman and with support from the Netherlands Film Fund, expanding the story of Fanny. With the same creative team, they are also developing Off Script, a short period film about the world’s first female racing driver, with filming scheduled for 2027. Emotionally rich and visually refined, their films are crafted to connect with a diverse audience.
