Natalie Nakamine is a San Francisco based filmmaker and actor who stumbled upon improv in 2023. The magic of ensemble and connection with her inner child unraveled her old path as an analytics engineer in tech, clearing space for something playful, honest, and alive. As a writer, director, and editor, she’s drawn to storytelling that lives in the body, where big feelings, strange humor, and complexity exist at the same time. Her work explores identity, grief, humor and the magic that happens when we create space to discover through play.
