ISABEL ARRIAGADA
One summer of the year of '92, Cartoon Network channel arrived to a little city called Temuco. Isabel, an 8 year old girl became obsessed with Chuck Jones's cartoon's. That was the beginning of endless summer afternoons with banana milkshakes and marraqueta bread with avocado stuck to the TV. Over time, her dad's hi8 camera became his new hobby, erasing family videos and recording the dog and her friends on top of family memories.
One day her parents asked her what her talent was. Frustrated, she realized that she did not have the talent to became a great artist, painter or writer, but she did realize that she had the talent to recognize and gather great talents.
That's what Isabel loves and is passionate about. Gathering talents, producing great movies, and feeling
the great creative synergy that comes from putting together a great team.

FORCH
Forch was born in Chile, but quickly became an avid traveler.
Highly hyperactive , always looking around, hungry for food, stories and people.
Before 20 she had already lived in Australia and Mexico.
She studied her first cinema years in Chile and then went to the city of love to study filmmaking.
The whole cinema obsession started fairly early when she got her fist video camera at age 12, a gift from her dad who was a film producer and director.
It’s been 20 years, and it has been her longest love affair.
Forch began her career doing camera and photography, then went into production for a while, until she got a call to save a spot as a director.
Right there and then realized Directing was the love of her life.
She then worked in Wanda, Hamburg to lear the ropes of international advertising.
When she came back to Chile, had a few years fighting with lightsabers and monsters, until she finally made it.
After going around directing music videos, advocating for LGBT+ causes in Chile, got nominated to a few awards, went on making fashion films and quite a few really good pieces in advertising, she made it to Clan.
So now don’t try to take it away from her, she’s tough!
May the Forch be with you.
