Telling the Story of the Trail
From a cheering, 20,000 person crowd in NY’s Washington Square Park to a somber gathering of 100 in the opioid-ravaged town of Kermit, WV: a political campaign will truly take you everywhere — both emotionally and physically. So how do you tell that story? In this talk, Isabel will give a peek inside the unique experience of producing video for Warren’s 2020 presidential bid: documenting policy, movement-building, and history as it happened in real time.
Isabel is a producer, editor and cinematographer with a focus on documentary storytelling for radical good. She is passionate about progressive politics and sparking positive social change through filmmaking.
Most recently, Isabel worked as Senior Video Producer for Elizabeth Warren’s presidential and Senate re-election campaigns. She shot, scripted, produced, and edited digital and TV ads as well as social media content, directed documentary-style shoots with supporters and policy experts, and led production workflows for traveling crew and in-house ad work. Before that, she worked at Harvard University’s Hauser Studio, and freelanced in New York and Boston on various productions. She currently works as a Senior Producer at Blue State, a creative agency.
