سيرة
Isabella Cascarano was born in Venezuela to Italian parents and grew up immersed in two cultures. Fluent in three languages—Spanish as her first language, Italian as her second, and English—she began her journey in theater and flamenco dance at a young age. Through determination and discipline, she earned prominent roles and key positions at a prestigious theater and dance academy in Venezuela. Isabella became one of the academy’s first performers and instructors, which led her to study at the Amor De Dios Academy in Madrid and the Villamarta Theater in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. Later, she was selected as one of 13 representatives for Face of Revlon Venezuela, which opened doors for her to appear in numerous national TV commercials.
Isabella has built a diverse career spanning film, television, theater, dubbing, voice-over work, and content creation. She trained under renowned coach Ivanna Chubbuck and is recognized as a versatile, bold, and intense actress who embraces challenging roles. Notably, she portrayed a drug addict in the short film "Our Vows," earning the Best Actress award at the International Euro Film Festival in Marbella, Spain. The film received critical acclaim from respected publications such as the LA Times and The Film Talk, and was nominated for Best Short Film at the Hollywood Film Festival, Santa Fe Film Festival, Del Ray Film Festival, The Imagen Awards, and others.
Isabella values the magic and creativity filmmakers bring to character development. Beyond acting, she is an entrepreneur and writer, having created several coloring books, journals, and a play that has touched many lives. She also ventured into producing, debuting with several theater shows to support sick children. These performances were showcased in large venues, schools, and universities across the U.S. Midwest, including the Lincoln Center for the Arts, where she developed an after-school program aimed at helping misbehaving children and teenagers. Her efforts were recognized by the Wisconsin Arts Board, which awarded her a grant to continue her artistic work with youth. Additionally, her show aired for three months on Time Warner Cable’s Art and Culture segment. As a film producer, Isabella’s credits include "Our Vows," in which she starred, winning Best Actress at the 2011 Euro Film Festival. She also produced the feature drama "The Lookout" in January 2012. Continually growing as an artist, Isabella writes and creates projects that support meaningful causes.
Isabella is deeply committed to philanthropy. She founded a program that combines reading, dance, theater, comedy, and companionship to bring joy to elderly individuals living in care facilities, including those battling Alzheimer’s disease. Her charity organization, "Witness of Hope," focuses on creating art and happiness for those in need. For many years, she has volunteered with the Starlight Children’s Foundation, worked with organizations serving the visually impaired, and served as an Ambassador for the Special Olympics in Venezuela. Isabella has also been actively supporting underserved communities in Central and Latin America for over five years.
