The Heart of the Story
At the core of Wild Wild West is Mog, a gaming influencer consumed by the challenge of conquering a notoriously difficult game level. This level, the titular “Wild Wild West,” has become a global phenomenon, with players around the world stuck and obsessed with beating it. Mog’s journey is a descent into obsession, isolating herself from reality in her relentless quest. The film takes a dark turn once she succeeds, unraveling the consequences of her fixation.
A Message Wrapped in Entertainment
Isabella aims to leave audiences with a mixture of fascination and unease. “I think everyone will have their own message that they take away from it,” she explained. “I want people to speculate on how the future might unfold, to feel a little scared because it might just happen.” The film is not just a piece of entertainment but a speculative glimpse into potential futures shaped by technology.
Behind the Scenes: Crafting the Vision
Isabella emphasizes the collaborative nature of her filmmaking process. “I’ve been working with a small team, which makes communication much easier,” she noted. She relies heavily on the input of experienced team members like Justin, whose insights help refine her ambitious vision. “It’s crucial to have different perspectives to enrich the project.”
Balancing Act: Juggling Roles
As writer, producer, and director, Isabella wears many hats in bringing Wild Wild West to life. She candidly discussed the initial chaos of learning to produce and direct simultaneously. “I had to quickly learn and adapt, often turning to my team for guidance,” she revealed. Despite the challenges, she finds strength in multitasking, which allows her to maintain creative control. “Having written it, I know exactly where things need to be.”

With Wild Wild West, she aims to provoke thought and stir conversation about the future of technology and its societal implications.
