Introducing Verticals

Isabel Dréan is a screenwriter, director, producer, and digital visionary based in Los Angeles. She began her career in horror and psychological thrillers before pivoting to Christmas movies — a shift that transformed her trajectory, leading to five of her scripts being produced in just 18 months.

She teaches masterclasses for screenwriters and travels the world as a mentor in international labs and creative residencies, helping writers develop their voice, strengthen their concepts, and find pathways to getting produced.

As a digital visionary, Isabel has been at the forefront of storytelling innovation for over a decade. She launched her own curated webseries platform, developing and producing over 50 original series well before Quibi and other streamers entered the space. During this period, she successfully sold her murder mystery series to a studio, cementing her reputation as a creator capable of merging digital innovation with commercial storytelling.

Now, as microdramas and premium vertical series rise globally, Isabel continues to lead the charge. She leverages her deep understanding of audience behavior, platform-native formats, and emerging monetization models to guide writers, producers, and studios through the evolving entertainment landscape. She is also the founder of THE HUB, a curated global network connecting filmmakers, producers, and financiers, which has already generated shopping agreements, co-productions, and career-changing collaborations.

She continues to develop features, series, and innovative digital projects across genres — showcasing her ability to merge traditional filmmaking with next-generation formats and her dedication to bold, compelling storytelling.
