After a B.A. in Russian in London and a Master in Business Administration in Chicago, and doing consulting work in media-related companies like IBM, Bertelsmann and Hamburg Media School, Natalia Preston embarked on a number of business ventures of her own. Among other things she owned a language tour company organizing trips to Moscow and she started a German bakery in California selling pretzels and Christmas Stollen. A few years ago, Natalia Preston found a new calling and passion in documentary films. She finished a Master in Cine Documental y Experimental at the University of Madrid in 2016 and has been studying at FilmArche, Berlin since 2014. Since then she has dedicated much of her time to making her own documentary films about topics and causes she feels strongly about.
