Biography

Natasha Austin-Green is a London-based director and writer (with occasional producing and editing credits) who crafts distinctive hybrid films that boldly navigate taboo subjects. Through the use of anonymity, she intimately explores these issues from the viewpoint of those directly affected. Her short films, At The End Of The Tunnel and the internationally acclaimed Dead. Tissue. Love, stand as potent challenges to societal norms. Dead. Tissue. Love garnered significant recognition with screenings at prestigious festivals like SXSW, Ann Arbor, and AFI Docs, earning multiple awards and critical praise, described by The Telegraph as "Subtly Suggestive… Gently Disturbing." The film also toured the UK as part of The Final Girls programme and premiered online with Short of The Week. A 2020 finalist for The Arts Foundation Future Award in Experimental Short Film (supported by the David Collins Foundation), Natasha presented her work and methodology at the ICA as part of the London Short Film Festival's "The New Experimentalists" event. In 2023, Dead. Tissue. Love was highlighted in The Guardian by Censor director Prano Bailey-Bond as one of her all-time favourite shorts, advocating that "More people should see them." Natasha continues to push creative boundaries with her latest short, MŌDOR, currently making its way through the festival circuit.
