Isaac Bokoko
Director & Cinematographer
Growing up in North London Isaac’s work has naturally been influenced by his community, and this has become a pivotal theme within both his narrative and documentary work.
The varying ways in which Isaac explores community is evident in his work as DOP on projects including I Need To Talk To God, a short film available on Apple TV, as well as his directorial debut and award-winning short film Benchwarmers, funded by the Roundhouse. Isaac finds real creative interest in exploring the small, often-overlooked parts of our everyday lives, and continues to draw on social realism to inform his work.
Isaac's experience expands across the industry, working with notable brands and companies including The NHS, Fullyfocused Productions, Peabody, Netflix and Apple.
Coming up through the camera department, Isaac has worked on recognisable shows such as Call The Midwife, PRU, and AppleTV+'s Liaison as a camera trainee. He has also served as a camera assistant on short films, including the BAFTA & BIFA Qualifying Man2Man.
This diverse experience has given Isaac a vast understanding of the technicalities of cameras and the impact he can bring as a DOP.
His cinematography background influences his meticulous approach, understanding the importance of visuals while recognising that the story should never be compromised.
Isaac's work often explores themes of community, reflecting his diverse upbringing and its impact on his narrative style. His recent award-winning short film Benchwarmers, funded by Roundhouse, exemplifies this focus on community-driven storytelling.
