2021

During my first semester of college in Paris, I found myself feeling lost and artistically stunted. Hoping to rediscover my passion for filmmaking and feel closer to myself, I embark on a journey to the childhood beaches of my biggest inspiration, Agnes Varda.

Music Video for Peach Pit, used with permission. This 2018 music video is a twisted telling of a scorned cheerleader’s descent into madness. An earlier version of the video did not include performance shots of the popular indie band. But when the video circulated online, it caught the band’s attention. They liked the interpretation of their song so much that they invited Isabella to film their soundcheck at LA’s legendary music venue The Troubadour to edit into the video.

Winner, San Luis Obispo International Film Festival "Filmmakers of Tomorrow." Music Video created in 2017. Lyrics by Justin Roberts, used with permission.
