Isaac Lock is a writer and director known for his observational and satirical film work that teases out and celebrates human idiosyncrasies with a unique humorous touch. His first documentary feature, ‘You Will Be With Us In Paradise’ – which chronicles an unlikely couple’s attempts to revive the iconic Italian fashion brand Fiorucci – showcases this beautifully.
Isaac’s wit and ability to put his subjects at ease consistently draws surprising and authentic performances, as demonstrated in his award winning work for British Vogue with Victoria Beckham, Dua Lipa and Saoirse Ronan. As a commercial director, he’s overseen Emma Radacanu teaching Dua Lipa tennis for Evian, brought a cross section of the great British public to life in his ‘British People’ spot for British Airways and helmed ads for Zalando, Mercedes Benz, Phillips, Tods, Woolmark and Victoria Beckham Eyewear. His film Harmónia’, a spot for Nanushka that takes the form of a musical social experiment, exemplifies his cinematic ability and gift for capturing his subject’s unique personalities.
Isaac cut his teeth as a journalist working as editor at leading fashion and style publications and garnering a reputation for contributing unflinchingly honest features and profiles to renowned titles on both sides of the Atlantic. Alongside his film work, he continues to write as a humorist, creating insightful, observational essays about how we navigate the world we live in.
