Lydia Isnanto has always enjoyed a good story, especially those with an impactful message that brings awareness to an issue, empowers women, and are stories about transformation, and healing. Her passion since she was a young girl in her native country of Indonesia was to tell these stories to anybody who would listen.      She has spent the majority of her adult life pursuing this dream, and sometimes doing the grunt work to make ends meet and other times living out the dream. She started her own company in Singapore, doing both photography and film productions. After relocating to the United States with her husband, she has been able to concentrate fully on bringing stories to life. In between film projects, she currently directs and produces a podcast telling stories of great women called DREAMPRENEURS CHAT.  She has the opportunity to chat with awesome and incredible women making their stories happen through business and influence.   In her most recent film project, THIS IS ME (2019), filmed in Austin, Texas, where she wrote, directed, co-produced, filmed, and edited, she was fortunate enough to have a great cast and crew to bring this project to life. This story was created for and dedicated to mental illness survivors and warriors. To date, the film has been screened in the San Francisco Bay area, Los Angeles, and Texas. It has won nine awards, including a special Mental Health Community Award from the Los Angeles Silicon Beach Film Festival.   She also wrote, directed, co-produced, filmed, and edited THE CALLING (2018), filmed in the San Francisco Bay area. The film tells the story of transformation and healing, based on a true story of a writer, a pastor and a filmmaker, Tony Gapastione. This short film was made entirely with an iPhone celebrating the creative movement of smartphone film making. THE CALLING has been screened in San Francisco and New York. It has won five awards, including the Best Phone Made Film award from Olympus Film Festival Los Angeles.   While back in Singapore, Lydia had the tremendous opportunity to work with a super talented band, FantabulouZ and create a music video for their song, BFF (2017). She had the privilege to write the screenplay, direct and film the music video. The video portrays a fictional story about two best friends with inspiration about true friendship. To date, the music video has won three awards and was screened at the Long Beach Indie International Film Festival and Fort Worth Indie Film Showcase.  Lydia realizes that she could only get this far through the strong tribe of people who believe and support her. She remains hopeful that she will continue bringing impactful and meaningful stories for many years.
