Testimonials –
'I've worked with Isabelle for a number of years and on a range of projects, from quick turn around short films and multimedia documentary projects, to distribution and measuring impact of Virtual Reality. Isabelle is passionate, hard working, creative and fun to collaborate with. She has attention to detail and wants to ensure each project is the best it can be.
Her skills are broad which is fantastic as she has the ability to plan and produce a project from conception though to distribution, but in addition she can also film, edit and take photographs to a high level. Isabelle is interested in telling human stories that make an impact and her ability to build rapport with people quickly is an asset in producing this kind of content.'
Catherine Rose, Director and Producer
'Isabelle has brought her genial personality and distinctive visual style to WaterAid projects for the last five years - both in the UK and internationally. She’s naturally drawn to people and has a rare ability to connect and tell their stories with a poetic eye. Whether it's shooting, editing, producing or directing, it's great to have Isabelle on board. A very talented filmmaker.'
Steve Melia, Film Manager, WaterAid
'Isabelle is brilliant to work with - smart, organised, calm, responsive, creative, collaborative, reliable. The fact that she is an all-rounder is really valuable when working on films of the scale we make at Unearthed - whether she is producing, editing or shooting for us, her awareness of and competence in every step of the process enables the whole project to run smoothly.
She also sets an excellent tone in the spaces she works in, which is important for putting interviewees at ease, or keeping nerves steady on a tricky project with a tight deadline.'

'I really enjoyed working with Isabelle on Greenpeace's Christmas campaign last year. She really drove the project, came at it with so much enthusiasm and professionalism and always had great input from a creative perspective.
One of the key things that stood out to me about Isabelle is that she really goes over and above to make things happen and she really felt like a great ally throughout the process. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and would love to work with her again soon!'
