“Beauty can heal and transform us. It’s a door to love. And love is the door to all.”

I`M A POET

My poetic spirit is present in everything I create, as is drama, emotional grandeur and beauty. A critic once wrote that there was a certain elegance and rare sense of detail in my creations. And I think that’s true. I strive for aesthetical perfection. Because beauty can heal and transform us. It’s a door to love, and love is the door to all.

My visual expression as a filmmaker is classical, aiming for shots that appear as close to how our naked eye would see the images as possible, and editing that is smooth and natural in a way that the viewer can take in the story, the emotions and the message effortlessly.

As an indie filmmaker, one plays many roles, and producer is one of them. This includes researching, finding locations, casting, funding and in general keeping things together and making them happen. This is a completely natural part of the job for me. I like finding solutions and opportunities and talking to people. The research phase is vocational.

“In 2022 I wrote and directed the short film Earth Ballet, a hybrid between fiction and documentary. It premiered in movie theatres on International Mother Earth Day and was shortlisted in EKKO’s Top Ten for 13 weeks in 2023. It’s about a woman, who in the midst of the climate crisis is committed to living in harmony with Earth, despite difficult personal times. She seeks solace in nature, where she connects with a higher being. The music was written and performed by the artist Maleen.

This is a completely natural part of the job for me. I like finding solutions and opportunities and talking to people. The research phase is vocational – I’m a passionate reader and the kind of person that takes notes on everything, including books, films and conversations. I love learning.

Storyteller

“I’m not afraid of the dark and hidden emotions. On the contrary, I’m drawn to them. My wish is to make them visible. Transform and transcend them.”

I´M A REVEALER OF SECRETS

I see stories in pictures, and one image can ignite an entire plot in my imagination. Nevertheless, my approach to filmmaking is the script, with its arks and character transformation. This is what interests me profoundly, and the cinematic tools are there to back up the story and make it beautiful, even when the message is grim.

The subconscious mind and the process of awareness attract me, and I’m not afraid of the dark and hidden emotions. On the contrary, I’m drawn to them. As I am to controversial issues that need to be addressed. My wish is to make them visible and transform them.

I add complexity to my stories via symbols and metaphors, leaving it up to each individual how deep and far they want to go in their interpretation. There are no limits.

Music plays a central role in my storytelling, hence the magical interaction between melodies, dynamics, rhythms and the images. They are inseparable. You cannot tell which came first.

“Time Lines is my contribution to the Canon Nordic 15 second film festival. Can a complex story be told in 15 seconds? The concept of time has interested me for as long as I can remember. Synchronicity, quantum time and regression. Intuitively I have always known that there was important information to be learned in other time dimensions.”

Documentarist

“If every one of us served the planet, humanity and all living things, we would regenerate ourselves and Mother Earth.”

I´M A REBEL

An idealist and a seeker of truth since I was very young, my why is about elevating spiritual and emotional awareness, as the basis for a much needed global system change. Over the last few years, I too have gone through a process of awareness that has made me direct my full attention to the natural crises that we are facing.

Everything I create aims to push towards new existential paradigms where we as humans are a life-creating force in nature and the more than human community. Currently, I am drawn to utopian narratives as a response to the dystopian reality we live in, where its ecosystems are slowly dying while we watch paralyzed or just carry on.

If every one of us served the planet, humanity and all living things, each in our own way and lives, focusing on emotional, spiritual and biological healing, we would create peace as well as natural abundance and diversity. We would regenerate ourselves and Mother Earth.

“Food and health have always interested me. I’ve been a vegetarian since I was 18 and a vegan for 10 years. Now planetary health is where my focus is. Of course, they are intrinsically connected. In 2024 my documentary film The Nature of Farming about regenerative farming and soil premiered in Copenhagen, Denmark. I dream of farms that are alive. Bountiful and biodiverse gardens, full of trees, perennials, annuals, wild flowers and an array of insects and birds. I dream of regenerating our soil and its life-sustaining microbiology.”

Singer

Music talks to my cells. It transports me. I’m dissolved, becoming part of it.”

Album “From Within & Beyond”

by Isabelle Denaro

I´M AN ARTIST

Music has always been an important part of my life, and since I was 9, I knew I would be a singer. Back then I would write plots and songs and stage little concerts and theatres, involving those around me. Later I majored in music and released an album, “From within and beyond”, about relationships, for better or worse. To others, to the divine and to ourselves. As I see it, we came to learn and get to know ourselves. Get aligned with our souls and our life purpose. Be better people. Do things for others, for the world and the planet.

Humorist

Humorist

“I love the absurd. Irony. Being able to say the unspeakable. Exaggerating. Tragicomedy. Detecting stereotypes. Touching upon taboos.”

I’ve been blessed with a wicked sense of humor. And a very big portion of enthusiasm. I think both are essential for my attitude and the way I do things. I also realize that it’s contagious. When I laugh, I make others laugh. When I bounce off the walls with excitement over a project, an idea or a topic, people get inspired.

In 2005 and 2006 in the beginning of my filmmaking career, my husband and I produced 3 short films. One was a drama, and two were melodramatic comedies. The fun I had writing those scripts! I laughed myself to tears.

We won prizes for our comedies, and my husband says my laughing at the premieres helped… Anyway, I love the absurd. Irony. Being able to say the unspeakable. Exagerating. Tragicomedy. Detecting stereotypes. Touching upon taboos.

Laughing at how limited we sometimes are as humans, how we get stuck in our own dogmas, how much we are controlled by our subconscious mind.

“A music video about celery juice?! Really? Writing and directing this music video was a blast! I’m actually a celery juice drinker myself, but I get that some people may find the whole movement odd! In fact, to ironize on the topic, the hero in the story is more like an anti-hero, who loves to eat, sleep in and wear teddy bear onesies, so not exactly a health freak. But he’s gone all in, has filled the fridge with celery and has adopted a scientific focus on celery juicing. The music was written by the artist Nelz.”

The Nature of Farming

The Nature of Farming

The documentary film The Nature of Farming premiered in 2024 and is a poetic collage of regenerative stories. We meet a series of pioneering Danish farmers and their nature-friendly approach to farming, restoring biodiversity above and below ground, drawing CO2 out of the atmosphere, building soil fertility, and balancing our water and carbon cycles. Selected researchers and experts supplement with relevant information and reflections. Thus, the film is full of visions and useful scientific information, but it is also beautiful and healing in its own way and can be watched by everyone. What does life-affirming farming look, sound and feel like? I hope to create a longing that, at best, will inspire people to push towards a new farming paradigm and ultimately a new way existing on the planet.

For now the film has been screened exclusively with my participation in a subsequent Q&A session at special events in Denmark in collaboration with relevant organizations. I am touring, so please reach out if you are interested in organizing a screening. We are currently submitting the film to international film festivals. Once we have completed this phase of promotion, we will be arranging screenings internationally. Please reach out to me, if you are interested.
