This week on The Unscene Work, we sit down with the brilliant Mia Isaac—actor, writer, director, and all-around creative force—for a powerful conversation on evolving as an artist and letting your work transpire naturally over time. Mia opens up about her journey from child actor to multi-hyphenate creative, and the ways she's found agency by stepping into different roles both on set (PA, 2nd AD, actor) and behind the scenes as a writer and director. She shares how journaling, dancing, and other unexpected outlets help her stay connected to her creativity and how emotional honesty shows up in her performances. We talk about: Why writing your own material can unlock your voice The beauty of trying everything, on and off the call sheet Creative practices that keep the spark alive: journaling, dancing, and more What it really takes to transition from child star to adult actor How to let emotional truth transpire into performance without forcing it If you're navigating a creative transition or searching for your own way to show up fully in your work, this one's for you.
