Year in Review

Meet Isabel.

SCREENWRITER FOR HIRE.

Isabel Dréan is a produced screenwriter who specializes in romcoms, holiday, and high-concept stories.  

In response to the inescapable pandemic gloom, Isabel has felt compelled to tell lighter-hearted, uplifting stories under romcom, holiday, and coming-of-age umbrellas.

With a placement in the Nicholl fellowship with her first screenplay, Isabel first started by exploring themes of women's survival and overcoming the impossible. But during the pandemic gloom, she felt inspired to venture out of the genre world of whimsical and inspiring stories such as holiday, romcom, and coming-of-age. In 2021, she saw two of her scripts go into production with Breakthrough Entertainment (Canada) & Vast Entertainment (USA). 2022 brought more success her way and saw three more of her holiday romcoms produced and scheduled to air this next holiday season for a total of five screenplays sold and produced over a fifteen-month period.

Her writing versatility and capacity to elevate notes make her an indispensable asset to any production.
