Oct 8

Natalie Metzger has a spark for producing that is palpable. The joy oozes out of her pores, and despite the inherent challenges, she loves being a producer.

Natalie was a dancer and choreographer before she set her foot in the world of filmmaking. She freelanced for a while before finding at home at Vanishing Angle as the VP of of Development and Production.

Most recently, she produced Jim Cummings’ newest film THE WEREWOLF (MGM/Orion) and GREENER GRASS (Sundance, SXSW), which comes out this Friday Oct 18th, in theaters and on demand!

She also produced the hilarious music video for Lil Dicky’s FREAKY FRIDAY, which boasts over 554 million views on YouTube.

A multi-hyphenate, she’s also directed documentaries, such as the ALONE IN THE GAME for AT&T, SPECIAL BLOOD, and numerous award-winning commercials and short films.

In this week’s chat, Natalie and I uncover how to find your tribe, creating a more inclusive work place, and the dirty secret to cold emailing.

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this week’s episode!

"It’s hard because it’s a long game, and I think people get frustrated with how long sometimes it can take, but you have to be willing to put in that time. And to stick it out. If you do, it will pay off so much. It requires so much.”
