A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
San Fernando Valley, California, USA
Natasha is an actor (SAG), writer, and director who was born and raised in the humble ole' San Fernando Valley. Her dad is an (818) native with Polish/ Russian roots and her mom is from London with Welsh/ Italian heritage. A Jewish and Catholic combo equals 100% guilt. Fancy that? Oy vey. Silver lining- dual citizenship (US & UK) and lots of fun accents. Some of her recent credits include director Jason Woliner's upcoming series "Paul T. Goldman" (Peacock), "The Offer" (Paramount+), opposite Miles Teller & Juno Temple, directed by Dexter Fletcher, "The Shrink Next Door" (Apple TV+), opposite Will Ferrell & Kathryn Hahn, directed by Jesse Peretz and "Impeachment: American Crime Story" (FX), opposite Beanie Feldstein & Colin Hanks, directed by Ryan Murphy. She appeared as the lead in "Ratking" directed by Eric Colonna, which won the Grand Jury award for narrative shorts at the Slamdance Film Festival (2022). The film was also accepted and screened at the Mammoth Lakes Film Festival, San Fransisco, New York Independent, and others. She's starting pre-production as a supporting role in the drama feature "Life After" (Practice Pictures). Training includes a BFA in Screen Acting from Chapman University and Dodge College of Film & Media Arts. Natasha can also be seen in an Amazon Prime released comedy series opposite Annie Wood, a Blumhouse assoc. horror as lead & Pauline Chalamet's directorial debut. Some more credits include an unreleased feature as lead (Dir: Brian Robau, recently won HBO's Ibero- American Competition), a comedy pilot for Almost Cool Films, MEM's "Ways To" series, and voicing as several characters in "The Hunt", a comedy/murder mystery podcast. She has co-written, directed, and starred in a 13 and 6-part comedy web series. Several projects she has co-written and starred in have won multiple awards at various festivals. Additionally, she has appeared in national commercials, sketch comedy, professional live theatre, and musical theatre. In actuality, this gal is just a humorous hippie. Her ultimate goal is to support and give back to those in need while also creating unique ways to tell compelling stories through her love of the arts.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
