the story
"You have to put yourself out there completely. And you cannot do it alone."
Hey, I’m Itzel — filmmaker, cinematographer, and the creative director and founder behind Izzy & Co. Studio.
Film found me before I had the words for it. A decade spent moving through this industry from New York to Atlanta, on set, behind the lens, building something from the ground up, it’s taught me that the best creative work is never made alone. It’s made in rooms where everyone believes in the same vision.
Atlanta wasn’t the original destination. But it became home, and it became the place where Izzy & Co. took root here. In a city full of stories that haven’t been told yet, by brands and communities that deserve to be seen.
I believe you have to put yourself out there completely. And you cannot do it alone. The best work happens in collaboration — when a director trusts their crew, when a brand trusts the filmmaker, when everyone in the room is pulling toward the same feeling.
I lead the creative direction. But I lead it with people.
Influences & Taste
My taste lives somewhere between Ali Ali’s precision in advertising, Rich Lee’s visual world-building, and the fearless scope of Lana Al’s commercial work. Directors who made you feel something visceral, something true.
City of God showed me that rawness and beauty aren’t opposites. Eternal Sunshine showed me that a film can be trippy, tender, and devastating all at once. That range lives in everything we make at Izzy & Co.

Built on Story.
Made to Last.
Izzy & Co. is a filmmaker-led studio that turns founders into storytellers.
We work with wellness, beauty, and lifestyle brands who know their visuals don’t match the caliber of their work yet. We make cinematic brand films and campaigns that position you where you actually belong — not as another option, but as the inevitable choice.
Not for the viral moment. For the legacy that lasts.
