AETIA
CREATIVE STUDIO
BY ISSABELLA ORLANDO
Films, journalism & storytelling led by art, craft, heritage and culture.
The word Aetia is Greek for Origin. We tell stories about where art, culture, and creativity come from. Through documentary-style video content, journalism, and creative storytelling, we thoughtfully profile arts, craft, heritage, culture, places, and what they mean to people.
Our speciality lies in storytelling around arts & culture. As a deep-thinking studio, media production work is always prefaced with research, conversation and storytelling strategy.

Issabella delivered such valuable insights on the city of Seoul and what direction we could go with the program we were building there. She was creative beyond anything I’ve ever seen. Her attention to detail was off the charts. Typically people excel on one side of the creative > detail-oriented continuum. But Issabella is one of these rare people who are excellent across the entire spectrum.
