about /
VELOCITY FILMS is based in Los Angeles and was founded in 2022 by award-winning director and producer Natalie Schwan.
In a divisive world, Natalie’s work aims to connect universal stories to a growing audience. It celebrates the human condition, the overcomer’s journey and an adventurous spirit. Marrying stunning visuals with stories that inspire, challenge and exhilarate, her work has screened at festivals such as LA Shorts, SOHO International and Chelsea International, and was a semi-finalist for selection at Flicker’s Rhode Island.
Since launching Velocity Creatives—a full-service commercial and content production company—in 2015, she has received multiple Telly Awards, was nominated for a Webby, and won second place in the SheDirected Audience Awards Competition for her short film Jo.
Natalie started Velocity Films to champion visionary new voices and to build a diverse slate of long-form projects. She is drawn to historical fiction, compelling drama, classic sci-fi and adventure films.
A fervent traveler and explorer, the world is her oyster. A home to the untold stories that Velocity Films strives to tell.
