ISSABELLA ORLANDO IS A FILMMAKER, WRITER, ARTIST, and CONSULTANT obsessed with our roots: heritage, craft, personal histories, mythology, human relationships with place, and the stories behind arts & culture.

THROUGH HER CREATIVE STUDIO, AETIA, she works to capture art, culture, craft, places, creative processes, heritage and what they mean to people. Her proprietary Artist and Craft Profiles delve into the rich inner lives of creatives, and the origin stories of art, objects, and cultures through intimate conversations and bespoke visual vignettes.

IN HER CREATIVE PRACTICE, Issabella is a writer and filmmaker following related themes; often exploring how the past shapes and remains tethered to our present lives through mythology, memory, self-understanding, grief and the supernatural.
