Isabella St John

I am a Creative Content Director Based in Meanjin (Brisbane) Australia, My Practice is focused in Film Making, Photography, Styling, Events Management, Marketing and Media. I acknowledge the First Nations of Meanjin, the Yuggerra & Turrubal People & The Traditional Custodians of this land, Past Present & Emerging, I acknowledge the land I live and work on is stolen.

Raised on a rural property in Cedar Creek, South East Queensland, The intangible and unique landscapes of Australia has inspired and influenced me to tell Australian stories in Photographs, Films & Documentaries.

My University journey began in 2011 studying a Bachelor of Film & Television while working within the creative industry for SBS, ABC, Matchbox Pictures, Independent Documentary Filmmaker Randall Wood and gaining experience through volunteer work with The Australian Directors Guild, Woodford Folk Festival Fire Event and MTV. I am the Director and Producer of ISLA founded in 2020, a female film and media collective in development while I continue my studies in Media Industries and Communications at Swinburne university. My skill set is focused in Camera, Editing, Computer Technologies and Organisational systems. Throughout my work I have three core values to adhere by.

Diversity & Inclusivity 

Australia is a multicultural country, I strive to be strategic for the future of inclusivity of all cultures within Australian and the broader global community. My mission is to help support, inspire and collaborate and have inclusion plans in place within the work I participate in.

Sustainability 

I believe our future needs a stronger environmental focus. As conscious consumers, I aim to minimise the environmental impact of my footprint through the work I participate in, while also supporting local and sustainable designers and sourcing ethical materials and labor.

Communication & Collaboration 

Communications are the centre of all that I do, focusing on problem solving and creating a comfortable environment for peers, clients and otherwise collaborating to achieve our projected goals within the work we participate in.

My mission is to create innovative, inspiring work that educates, evokes emotion and shares our common truths as a society.
