text: They are already talented actresses, one a Hollywood star. But now Aussies Rose Byrne and Gracie Otto are about to add another string to their bow. The Bridesmaids star and daughter of famed Australian actor Barry Otto have, along with fellow actress Krey Boylan, film director Shannon Murphy and PR maven Jessica Carrerea, have launched their very own all female film production company called The Doll House Collective . Byrne believes, in an age where Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook, Arianna Huffington of Huffington Post and Marissa Mayer of Yahoo dominating powerful positions, it's about time they become strong, female leaders in film. Dolled up: Rose Byrne and Gracie Otto have joined up in new film-making collaboration 'The Doll House' Byrne says when Bridesmaids came out, people's first reaction was to be surprised that women could be so funny. Her hope down the track is that they can bring more gender equality in. 'I'd love to get to a day when  people didn't say 'Wow, we didn't know women were so funny' and we have to be like, 'What? We're not a group of dolphins!' Byrne said in an interview with Vogue Australia. Byrne believes Sheryl Sandberg is a pioneer for women, and said the speech she gave in a TED talk about  the benefits of having women in companies was inspirational. Film feminism: The five Australian women want to bring a female body to the film-making industry . Referencing Sandberg, Byrne said it is not only better for your home life, sex life and for the company to have woman in positions of power, both in terms of decision-making, collaborating or delegating. 'Cate Blanchett put it so beautifully in her Oscar's speech about women being consumers - women want to see women doing stunts - there is a market for that!' The quintet will collaborate together on films, share ideas and creative advice, and even provide financial support to each other's projects. Powerful people: Rose Byrne wants new production company to follow in feminist foot steps of Arianna Huffington (left) and Sheryl Sandberg (right) The women liken it to the female equivalent of Blue-Tongue Films, four men who have collaborated to produce a film-making company. Instead of there being only one actor, one director, if they are working on a short film, they all look out for each other, says Otto, so that is there hope for The Doll House. According to Boylan, they were all supporting each other anyway, so they thought it was time they made it official. Fierce and funny: Referencing Bridesmaids,  Byrne says women  can be funny and intelligent, not just dolphins . And the ball is already rolling, with Byrne set to be the executive producer in Boylan's next film project 'Seriously Red.' 'I've never done anything in a producer capacity before but have long had the desire...It can be a lonely business, especially as an actor. 'And I'm tired of talking about how it's lonely instead of taking the reigns and producing and creating my own work,' said Byrne. In vogue: 'The Doll House Collective' girls feature in exclusive May issue of Vogue Australia . And with their collective talents combined, these leading Australian women are a force to be reckoned with. Otto says with all their own established work and contacts internationally, they will definitely be taken seriously. The full exclusive interview is available in the May issue of Vogue Australia, on sale Tuesday 21st April.
