Young Filmmaker – Isabel Coixet
Isabel Coixet
This director, writer, producer, and occasional actress was born in Spain in 1960. After studying history in college, Isabel Coixet began a career in advertising. Eventually her love of filmmaking merged with the production side of her advertising experience, and she started a film production company. Coixet has made films in several languages with companies in Spain, Canada, France, and the United States. Her first English-language film, Things I Never Told You, was made in 1996 and featured an American cast. She has been nominated twice for Spain's Goya Awards, and her films have been included in numerous film festivals, including Sundance.
