Available to hire
I’m Isis Blake, a Bristol-based filmmaker, videographer, and editor who loves capturing the energy of community events and turning that atmosphere into engaging edits. Over the past year I’ve built a freelance portfolio producing social-media content, concepting and executing campaigns, and balancing creative delivery with practical planning.
I’m passionate about storytelling through film and photography, with hands-on experience in festival production, youth engagement, and education projects. I thrive across production, direction, and post, and I enjoy collaborating with charities, galleries, and startups to bring ideas to life and reach diverse audiences.
