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.

David Yaffe  Author of Reckless Daughter: A Portrait of Joni Mitchell

I am a first generation Mexican American writer and director based in Los Angeles. I am currently writing the film adaptation of Marc Raboy’s Marconi: The Man Who Networked the World.

Last year I had the honor of being a 2024 Project Involve Director at Film Independent. Our film “#1 Bad Dad” is premiering at the 2025 Slamdance Film Festival. Also in 2024, I got to produce, write, and direct 14 projects with clients ranging from Meta to AmLactin.

I have over 10 years experience working in documentary, branded, and narrative storytelling. If you’re looking for a leader for your next project who leads with heart and compassion, then drop me a line. I’d love to help.

My short “Louise” premiered at NALIP’s Latino Media Fest 2019 and won Best Latinx Short at the Seattle Latino Film Festival. A PSA I wrote, directed, and produced for Audi called “Changing the Chairs” opened QUEEN & SLIM’s world premiere at 2019 AFI FEST. I was so thrilled when supporters like Laura Dern, Mati Diop and Snoop Dog shared the piece online. My 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.

I am a reader and interviewer for The American Film Institute Conservatory, Directing track. I volunteer with nonprofits to teach literacy and storytelling to children and adults from underprivileged backgrounds.
