Isabelle regularly choreographs her own dance routines and exhibits a natural instinct for dance, claiming to "feel the music." Isabelle has also demonstrated ability in acting, which she has explored through the production of short films, two of which have been accepted into International Film Festivals. In 2021, Isabelle took a lead role in a low-budget independent feature film, Optics.

Mark McDermott

 

Mark has been making independent micro-budget movies since 2000. After experimenting at University and in the years after, he shot his second feature in 2004, The Jigsaw of Life (2005),  which premiered at the Phoenix Picturehouse in Oxford. His next short film, Perception (2009), premiered at the London Independent Film Festival in May 2010, the same time he was shooting his third feature, Harmony’s Requiem (2010). After a break from filmmaking to concentrate on his young family, Mark began shooting again 2016 and 2017, making short films with his two daughters. The UK lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic then provided Mark with an opportunity to try some green screen shooting and he made two short films, Chopanoc Investigators and the Crystal of Life (2020) and The Chrysalis Children (2020), both of which premiered at the Quarantine International Film Festival. In 2021, Mark decided the time was right to make his fourth feature film, and the result was Optics (2021).
