Filmed in Asbury Park’s historic Casino building which was destroyed in a fire in 1928, Ghost Town attempts to hold on to a fragile world of the past. The enormous space, which was once a symbol of the industrialized and fast-paced productive society in which it was built, overnight became an empty vessel for constant passage. A sense of yearning for something that is gone emerges. The sense of loss, displacement, and the distortion of time that is conveyed in Ghost Town was inspired by the emotional response to the societal changes that developed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ghost Town

En Suite offers an emotional glimpse into the personal lives of a seemingly happily married couple following a radical bi-lateral mastectomy and reconstruction. Shot using a single, stationary camera, the months following the procedures that ensue, are seamlessly revealed exposing the loving and often difficult challenges this devastating diagnosis elicit.

En Suite

Isabelle's debut feature film, Route One North, is a coming-of-age comedy following Sarah and Bee- two sisters who set off to track down their long-absent father after their mother refuses to give 16-year-old Bee permission to marry her military boyfriend.
