I am here because I believe exactly that. I have been shaped by the stories that I’ve read and watched, and I hope that one day I will be able to share stories of my own with the world. 

So, a little bit about me. My name is Isabelle, I was born in 2001 and raised in Guernsey, in the Channel Islands. I was an avid reader in childhood, and I gobbled up sometimes several books a week well into my teens. In my sixth form years, I struggled to maintain that level of voracity, but the silver lining was that I found a new love in my Film Studies class. I’d always enjoyed going to the cinema, and watching “the making of” documentaries (especially Peter Jackson's “The Lord of the Rings” with my dad on rainy Sundays), but learning about cinematography and film theory sparked a passion I’d never explored before. I went on to study Film Production at the University of Portsmouth, and graduated in 2024.

Before the final year of my degree, I managed to land my dream internship in the Production Management team at Disney+ in London. While I loved every second, I quickly realised that my aspiration to become a director didn’t really suit me at all, whereas I had discovered an affinity for screenwriting and script development. This made a lot more sense given my love of the written word, and it has since reinvigorated my desire to read  as much as possible. It also ultimately led me to write my graduate film “Until Today”, which has been shortlisted for several film festivals.
