After studying drama and being passionate about actors directing, Isabelle attended the IAD cinema school in Belgium in the filmmaking department. Her short movie ’’Christine’’ was selected and awarded in many festivals, especially for her work with actors. In 2014, she directed ’’With Lou’’, which was broadcasted by TV5 MONDE and Belgian TV RTBF, and selected in more than thirty festivals. Her third short-movie “Boy” was supported by the Atelier du Moulin of Andé and The Berlinale Short Film Station since the early stage of writing. She is currently working on writing her first feature film.
