Derived from the French term for "the female gaze", Femme Regard is a company that strives to reinvent cinematic roles from the female perspective. We believe that women have many amazing stories to tell, and are all too often contrived only through a male perspective. Our stories challenge the way we often view the characters in film and look for new creative ways to break the stereotypes. 

Carolina Alvarez

Born in Queens NY, Carolina started dancing as soon as she took her first steps. She grew up singing, acting, and dancing which led her to pursue a degree in Musical Theatre at AMDA. She attended the conservatory in NYC and then moved to LA to finish her bachelor’s degree. There, she fell in love with acting for the camera and felt she could find a way to fuse all her passions into one cinematic platform. Carolina has always had a desire to produce her own films, focusing on female perspective in sensuality and expression, with cultural flares, given her Polish/Colombian background. She is also passionate about building an independent film community with her company's podcast, Femme Regard Podcast, to help other filmmakers grow and find specifically women filmmakers with whom she can collaborate with. 

We also believe that women do not get equal opportunity in film. It is important that the many talented female writers, directors, actresses, producers, camera operators, sound operators, composers, editors, and more come together to create beautiful art. The mission of Femme Regard Productions is to create more roles for women both in front of and behind the camera. 

Tessa markle

Tessa has been a performer for as long as she can remember. Even as a toddler, she would imitate her favorite movies and put on shows for anyone that would pay attention to her antics. As she grew up, she discovered that this translated well to the stage, and  became a very active part of her local community theatre - The Geyer Performing Arts Center.  With the support of family, she pursued both Theatre and Psychology degrees at Washington and Jefferson College. She then moved from her small hometown of Scottdale, Pennsylvania to the slightly more opportunity-driven Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where she continued pursuing acting at a semi-professional level.
She made the big move to Los Angeles, California in 2014 and has been a working actor ever since. Along with acting, she has begun working as a multi-platform-content-creator and podcaster.
