Dominican/Venezuelan actress Isadora Ortega is rising up in the entertainment industry as one to watch. Already making strides as a triple threat, Isadora has made waves as an award-winning actress, producer, and writer.

After falling deeply in love with the art of acting by watching telenovelas with her mom, Isadora knew at an early age that she wanted to take part in a career that was diverse in the form of expression. While living in New York, acting was at her fingertips, and Isadora studied the art, including voice-over, improv, and body movement, at the Conservatory for Dramatic Arts and at Susan Batson Studios. She soon appeared in various Off-Broadway shows such as "Eating Out" and hosted TV shows such as "Cook Up" On Tempo. After a successful run in New York building her brand as an Afro-Latina artist, Isadora knew her next move would be pivotal to her career. Once relocating to Los Angeles, Isadora didn't waste time getting into the groove of things and quickly went on to produce and star in several projects, including web series, short films, and shows such as "Laff Mob" on Tru TV.

Not one to slow down, she can next be seen executive producing and starring in award-winning film, Another Love Story. Isadora plays budding novelist Miriam Ramos, a woman fresh out of a toxic relationship who quickly finds herself in a dark place, desperately seeking to live a lavish life and to be romantically in love. Starting to believe that she is the problem, the hurdles of life quickly weigh on her until she meets and falls deeply in love with the man of her dreams – That is, until her newfound love reveals itself to be a tragic nightmare, not even her closest friends could see coming. After making its way through the festival circuit, the film has gone on to win multiple awards ahead of its official July 29th release, including Best Director, Brandon Morson, and Best Actress, Isadora Ortega, at the 2021 New York Int Film Awards and most recently selected as Best Feature Film at the 2022 Gold Movie Awards

Off-screen, Isadora can best be recognized as an author, most recently publishing her first graphic novel, "The Curse of the Flower"//"La Maldicion De La Flor," based on the legend of Anacaona. The novel follows leader of her tribe, Anacaona, as her people's lives are turned around by conquistadores, who too willingly took more than was offered. To protect her people, Anacaona's rage quickly evolved in a way no one saw coming, developing into a night where everything was set into motion so she could visit our world…time is an interesting thing; sometimes it heals you and sometimes allows your rage to grow. But Anacaona's legacy will not be silenced, only impact our world. Isadora's hit novel was met with praise by fans and is currently in the works to be developed into a short film, to be directed by Oscar-nominated director David Massy and expected to make its rounds in the festival circuit soon to follow its release.
