SCRIPTS
Since completing his feature screenplay, SICXTEEN, in 2016, Isaac has written original spec work consistently, developing a body of high-concept, character-driven material across film and television.
His projects have been optioned and developed with a range of established production companies, and his debut feature, DEAD AIR, was selected for Film London’s Production Finance Market and is currently in financing.
DEAD AIR is the first chapter in a "Rave Horror" trilogy fusic British underground music, nightlife, and horror.

Isaac frequently writes in partnership with Jon Barton under their Barton and Tomiczek banner, where they focus on bold, commercially minded genre storytelling.
