Natalia has been surrounded by visual arts all her life. Her mother is a professional photographer who introduced Natalia to the medium as soon as she could hold a camera. This helped her develop a keen eye for images and an interest in different mediums. Ultimately, she fell in love with filmmaking. Natalia tries to push the boundaries of narratives by finding new ways to tell stories that have already been explored. She is especially drawn to character studies with a dark edge. The greatest compliment Natalia can receive from viewers is having them leave her films feeling differently than when they walked in. To Natalia, films are more than just projects; they are profound messages that allow us to connect with others.
