Naditu Ma’at is a rising star working her magic not only producing her own work, but also building a platform to assist others in bringing their stories to life. She took a leap of faith into the unknown thirteen years ago, leaving Fort Worth, Texas where she was born and raised, by moving herself and her children to Atlanta, Georgia. Her love for the visual art forms of photography, drawing and painting expanded as she was exposed to the growing southern movie capital and began working on various film sets.

To further perfect her craft, she obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree in Digital Filmmaking and Video Production from the Art Institute of Atlanta in 2017. While earning her degree full time, she simultaneously worked full-time to support her family and fund her vision of one day owning her own production company.

While her primary focus is directing, producing and scriptwriting, she has also sat in the casting and assistant director chair on her colleague’s projects. Her company has led production on music videos, infomercials, promotional videos, a documentary and various short films. My Heart & Soul has been included as a semi-finalist in Nashville Independent Filmmakers Festival, New Filmmakers New Orleans, Philadelphia Arthouse Film Festival, Georgia Shorts Film Festival, and The Black Panther International Short Film Festival. My Heart & Soul won Best Trailer in the Scarab Short Film Festival, Lens Fame International Film Festival, Milestone International Film Festival, and Good Vibes Film Festival.

Her skills allow her to create entertaining bodies of work while weaving in relatable personal experiences. As she continues to climb, she concurrently reaches back; seeking out the untapped gems in her city to hire as cast, crew members and production assistants. She knows firsthand the importance of community and allowing a space for others to fully blossom. Her creative abilities expand beyond the lens pouring into her own self-care line, Naditu Ma'at Heart & Soul Essentials.

The brand name is a nod to the only way she knows how to work – with her heart & soul.
