Emily Isaacs is a writer and filmmaker originally from London.
The daughter of successful advertising photographer Mike Goss, she was a successful professional child model and actress, modeling for Lord Snowden, Butterkist, Birds Trifle, several BBC children's productions and performing in a production of 'Carmen' with the English National Opera for six months at The Coliseum. She started training in literature and drama, but ended up studying Music at Trinity College of Music, London and started teaching the 'cello and piano.
In 2009, a chronic illness caused her to be house and bed bound, so alongside teaching from home, she began an English Literature degree, completed mostly from her bed. After making an almost complete recovery in 2014, she continued studying and started working full-time again.
In 2017 she joined Drop Dead Films as Head of Production to manage the production of '13 Graves' while teaching and studying for a MA in Cultural and Creative Industries at Sussex University. This included her in the 'Yes She Cannes' awareness campaign for women in film at the Cannes Film Festival in 2017 and 2018.
In 2019, she graduated with a distinction just as '13 Graves' was released. The viral pandemic in 2020 prompted her to close her teaching business in order to write, so she started Scriptworks Productions with her filmmaker husband Gino Isaacs. 2021 and 2022 have seen multiple awards for her first short film and pilot script, most notably being a finalist in the BAFTA Rocliffe TV Drama New Writing Competition, being selected for the 2022 BFI Doclabs cohort and as one of the final twelve applicants in the 2023 Jed Mercurio Mentorship Programme.
Emily and Gino live in Eastbourne with their two sons (both live with Autism and other special needs), and Emily has an adult daughter and son.
She identifies as female (she/her) and lives with a connective tissue disease.
