Her work explores interior narratives - unfolding in verité and playful in form - rooted in a background in comparative politics and a fascination with the emotional undercurrents of everyday life. Her work has been screened at prominent film festivals around the world and distributed by major platforms.&nbsp;Natalie is currently Editor and Co-Writer of the doc series Free Help, from the producers of Fleabag. Free Help follows filmmaker Bianca Giaever who, after being called selfish by her dad, decides to offer free help to anyone who wants it. Along the way, the line between helping and interfering begins to blur and Bianca is forced to confront the limits of her own generosity. The series is a comedic, unpredictable look at human connection amongst the loners, weirdos, and uncompromising dreamers in the most unequal place in the world: New York City. The pilot premiered at Tribeca 2026 and was greenlit by Amplify Pictures. Natalie also edited Stalin Boys, a short documentary about four Mexican-American middle school boys in a Texas border town, who are obsessed with Joseph Stalin - directed by Ora Dekornfeld and Bianca Giaever. The film premiered at Big Sky Film Festival and was acquired by the New York Times. Other screenings include Tribeca, Sheffield Docs, and SXSW - where it won a special jury and audience award.&nbsp;&nbsp; Natalie served as Editor on feature film&nbsp;Are We Good?, directed by Steven Feinartz, which follows the life of comic and podcast pioneer Marc Maron as he struggles to evolve in the wake of deep tragedy - the passing of his partner, Lynn Shelton. The film had its world premiere at SXSW and screened at Tribeca Film Festival; it was acquired by Utopia and had a theatrical run in the fall of 2025. Previously, Natalie was Editor, Writer, and Producer of&nbsp;From This Small Place (Montclair, Heartland) directed by Taimi Arvidson, which follows six-year-old Hossain, a Rohingya boy coming of age in the world’s largest refugee camp&nbsp;—&nbsp;winning Best Documentary Director at RiverRun, Best in Portland at Portland Film Festival, and Best Feature Documentary at BEUIFF. Other editing roles include Bottle Conditioned (CPH:DOX, SIFF) directed by Jerry Franck; Apple TV+&nbsp;Hollywood Con Queen and Netflix’s Grammy Award-winning QUINCY (TIFF.)
