Meet the Dream Team

​
Belinda Lewin - Our Production 'Queen Bee'
Born in England, made in Spain, and currently metamorphosing into a Sri Lankan, Belinda has been in the biz longer than most pop stars have had careers.
From shooting iconic music videos for Rihanna, Spice Girls and The Verve, to wrangling car commercials for global giants – she’s seen it all and done it with style.
She’s a master of tight budgets (and even tighter deadlines), and still manages to keep the crew laughing. Her superpower? Making the madness of filmmaking feel like a sun-drenched holiday.

Asanthika Kappagoda - The Cultural Compass & Charming Face of Island Stories
Equal parts town planner, heritage guardian, and tourism whisperer, Asanthika brings a suitcase full of knowledge and a heart full of stories.
She’s worked across Sri Lanka, Laos, and Morocco saving ancient sites – and now she’s saving production teams from logistical nightmares.
A local through and through, with an Aussie twist, she’s your go-to for anything from permits to perfect Instagram captions.​​​​

Razmi Farook - The Chaos Coordinator
When she isn't advising the UN on disaster relief or orchestrating humanitarian ops in conflict zones, Razmi moonlights in the world of film (which, let’s be honest, can be just as wild).
Razmi thrives on managing unpredictability and solving problems before it even happens. She has a cool head; sharp mind; kind heart - just don’t try to out-organise her. You’ll lose.​
​
Josh Burge - Producer & Magic Maker
Born and raised in Spain, Josh got his start in film as a production assistant and has since bounced between the worlds of film and events.
He’s worked on sets in Spain and Morocco, and pulled off productions everywhere from Ibiza to Australia to Mexico.
Equal parts fixer, people person, and logistics brain, Josh brings calm confidence, charm, and just enough mischief to keep things interesting. At Island Stories, he’s the one who likes to make the magic happen.
