Isabel Gomez-Moriana Launches StoryNerve

Television and film executive Isabel Gomez-Moriana has officially launched StoryNerve, a new creative development practice offering workshops and story-driven programs to guide writers, directors, producers, and creative teams.

The initiative partners with industry leaders and institutions to support projects at every stage of development.

Gomez-Moriana brings over 20 years of experience in Canada’s screen industries. As former director of development at eOne/Lionsgate Canada, she worked on premium scripted series for the global market, collaborating with independent partners such as LuckyChap, Pastel, and Freckle Films. Her work has included adaptations of award-winning novels and literary voices, including Margaret Atwood, Linwood Barclay, Robyn Carr, and Jen Agg.

Earlier in her career at the Canadian Film Centre, she led initiatives in partnership with the Tribeca Film Institute, NBCUniversal, Telefilm Canada, and the National Film Board, supporting more than 300 projects, including the Oscar-nominated To Kill a Tiger.

Her career has been defined by a commitment to voice-driven storytelling across studio systems, independent production, and nonprofit institutions. StoryNerve is built on the principle that the strongest creative work emerges when voice, instinct, and strategy are aligned.

Gomez-Moriana said: "StoryNerve was founded as a quiet rebellion against safe notes, trend-chasing, and stories stripped of the very nerve that makes them alive. This is a consultancy for creators who want to go deeper—strengthening their unique voice to make work rooted in honesty, risk, and emotional presence. At a moment when creative decision-making is increasingly shaped by speed, scale, and algorithmic pressure, StoryNerve offers tools to reconnect with instinct, deepen craft, and develop stories grounded in emotional truth and creative courage."
