ABOUT
|
hello, nice to meet you My name is Isabella Cuevas Pierson and I'm a filmmaker/photographer from Bellingham Washington. Although my main focus is filmmaking. Art allows me to communicate and interpret my experience of living. I have found the camera to be my favorite tool to do this. Through filmmaking and photography, I am able to express emotion, abstractions, and stories. There's a quote from filmmaker David Lynch that I absolutely love and resonate with: "Cinema is a language. It can say things—big, abstract things. And I love that about it . . . You can express a feeling and a thought that can't be conveyed any other way . . . It's devising a world, an experience, that people cannot have unless they see the film." Making films is an honest, direct way I can share and realize what I find most meaningful and true. Through film, I want to express to others something that couldn't be conveyed any other way. I began making films the summer before middle school and haven't stopped since. My films range from experimental to drama to comedy. My work has been accepted and won awards in multiple film festivals, including the National Film Festival for Talented Youth. My work has also been featured on online articles. Currently, I attend the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. |
