Femme Regard's Journey From Podcast to Feature Film — How SYNC Got Distribution

from The Nicki Sun Show · host Nicki Sun

What does it actually take to write, direct, star in, produce, and distribute your first independent feature film — while also running a podcast and working full time? On this episode of The Nicki Sun Show, I sit down with Carolina Alvarez and Tessa Markle, the co-creators and co-stars of SYNC — a sci-fi thriller about female friendship, toxic connection, and a mind-syncing app that feels a little too close to today's headlines.We get into the full journey: from the audacity of starting Femme Regard Productions with no budget and a lot of vision, to navigating the festival circuit, cold-emailing distributors, and negotiating their own deal with Buffalo 8. This one is for every aspiring filmmaker, creator, and multi-hyphenate who's ever been told to wait until they're "ready." SYNC is available to rent or buy starting March 6th on Fandango at Home, Amazon Prime, Hoopla, and Verizon Fios.Released in Women's History Month — because the timing could not be more full circle.
