Her work challenges cultural stigmas through creating atmospheric, semi-autobiographical art and filmmaking that merge documentary and fiction to question conventions and defy stereotypes. Isla captures the overlooked flickers of everyday life and presents them in a cinematic way for audiences to rediscover the unexpected beauty in familiar places and people, and to inspire others to slow down and take notice of the lives of those around them. Having been awarded funding in the UK and Denmark, her art and filmmaking explores experiences of mental health, isolated communities, gender identity and hidden cultures. Isla has directed, developed, funded, produced and distributed international documentary and fiction films such as an impact film on child illiteracy, H is for Harry, a feature on religious tolerance in Sierra Leone for Danish TV (DR3), to the fictionalised memories of a WW1 nurse in ‘Testament of Youth’.

Dwanes films have an observational look into the lives of interesting characters that have personal conflicts with family members. Taking moments with individual characters and introducing them to conflicts among an ensemble, his approach is both cinematic and natural.
