Emerald Pictures has added director Nathalie Lamb to its roster of talent. This partnership marks Lamb’s first U.S. representation.
With a diverse portfolio that spans genres and techniques, Lamb has crafted compelling narratives through advertisements, feature films and stop-motion animation projects. She dedicated herself to film at an early age, starting with shorts starring handmade puppets she created while growing up in southern Germany. She later refined her craft at the renowned Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg, where she studied direction.
Since then, Lamb has built a filmography that showcases her wide range of abilities. Her animated short film about a long-distance relationship, Him & Her, garnered international recognition and accolades on the festival circuit, including at the Cannes Film Festival and the LA Shorts Fest in 2018. The following year, she debuted her 90-minute documentary, Silence is a Beautiful Sound, which explores the lives of six people on the threshold between the world of hearing and sign language. Lamb’s commercial collaborations include brands such as Mercedes-Benz, PeTA, Hansaplast, and fritz-kola. Her latest achievement includes the forthcoming feature documentary, Cochlear One More Sense.
“It is a great honor to join the Emerald Pictures family, an incredibly experienced team that will bring out the best in my work,” said Lamb. “We are united by our shared values of visual storytelling, integrity, and expertise in filmmaking. Together, we aim to create captivating and unique stories that engage our audience.”
John Duffin, co-founder of Emerald Pictures, said that Lamb is “well versed in many aspects of filmmaking, has vast technical and post knowledge, mad writing skills, and is amazing with actors. She looks at the world just a little differently than most people, which makes her special. Nathalie has accomplished so much at such a young age. Her potential is limitless–––who would not want to embrace and rally behind this kind of wonder and joy?”
