Isabel Latimer is a writer and director interested in telling stories that follow the very personal perspectives of charming and quirky female characters who often find themselves in precarious situations. She pulls from her experiences as an identical twin.
When Isabel was eleven years old, she discovered the camcorder and put her siblings and friends to work as actors, making short films that made absolutely no sense. In high school, Isabel made films that made a little more sense and won awards at local Utah film festivals.
Isabel holds a bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University in Advertising. While studying at BYU she worked as a cinematographer for the campus creating story-first content to advertise upcoming events. In her senior year, she worked for Ryan Reynolds’s production company, Maximum Effort, as an assistant editor.
After graduating in 2021, Isabel moved to Los Angeles and over the last few years, has worked as an assistant to executive producers, directors, and producers. Each day on set she carefully notes how the directors lead the crew, set the tone, and guide the actors. For Isabel, directing films is more than a curiosity, it’s a calling.
