About Me

My name is Isabella Brashears.  I am currently a senior at Depaul University getting my BFA in film/television. My major is Cinematography while my minor is Fine Arts. I have lived and worked in Chicago, IL for 4 years. After being primarily a painter for my whole life I fell in love with video making.  Video art is the combination of everything I love: storytelling, composition, color, and dance/movement. I am a very competent editor. I understand time, space, and breath when telling a compelling story.
