Terese Aiello

Terese Aiello
Actor / Filmmaker / Writer / Director / Producer

Terese formed Isola Films in 2004 as a means of creating and producing films that touch on the simplest forms of the human experience. Whether comedy or drama, what's most important is how the viewer will be able to relate to the story.

The first film for Isola Films, Never the Lonely, touches on the experience of being new to town and the difficultly of find true friendships. Marketing will be in full force through 2005. Terese is currently writing another short film as well as a feature length and is working towards producing a night of one-act plays with a close friend.
