Lionsgate & eOne Alum Launches StoryNerve

Isabel Gomez-Moriana, former director of development at eOne/Lionsgate in Canada, has launched StoryNerve, a new creative development practice offering workshops and story-driven programs to provide creative guidance.

At eOne/Lionsgate, Gomez-Moriana helped shape scripted series for the global market, collaborating with partners such as LuckyChap, Pastel and Freckle Films. Her work focused on adapting novels and literary voices, including Margaret Atwood, Linwood Barclay, Robyn Carr and Jen Agg.

Prior to that, Gomez-Moriana worked at the Canadian Film Centre, leading major initiatives in partnership with the Tribeca Film Institute, NBCUniversal, Telefilm Canada and the National Film Board. She supported more than 300 projects, including the Oscar-nominated To Kill a Tiger.

“StoryNerve was founded as a quiet rebellion against safe notes, trend-chasing and stories stripped of the very nerve that makes them alive,” Gomez-Moriana commented. “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.”
