Natalie’s work searches for the vulnerable.  It challenges conceptions of identity, breaking down barriers of race and class in search of what it means to be human.

Natalie Camou is a Mexican American writer and director based in Los Angeles. She is currently a directing fellow for Film Independent’s Project Involve.

This year she produced, wrote, and directed 14 projects with clients ranging from Meta to Alana Cho.

She has over 10 years experience working in documentary, branded, and narrative storytelling. She is currently looking to finance her first feature ZAZA BOOM, a dramedy about a little girl learning how to read as her family falls apart.

Her most recent short “Louise” premiered at NALIP’s Latino Media Fest 2019 and won Best Latinx Short at the Seattle Latino Film Festival. A PSA she wrote, directed, and produced for Audi called “Changing the Chairs” opened QUEEN & SLIM’s world premiere at 2019 AFI FEST. She was thrilled when supporters like Laura Dern, Mati Diop and Snoop Dog shared the piece online. Her short docs “Undocumented in America: Viviana’s Story” and “Domestic Violence in Rural America” went on to reach millions of students in higher education via Pearson Platform. “Domestic Violence in Rural America” won the 2018 Communicator Award, Award of Distinction and 2018 W3 Silver Award for Webseries for Video Online.

She’s a reader and interviewer for The American Film Institute Conservatory. She volunteers with nonprofits to teach literacy and storytelling to children and adults from latin backgrounds.
