Enrico Natale

Enrico Natale’s the kind of guy you’d call a filmmaking Swiss Army knife. Seriously, the dude’s been in the trenches for decades—writing, directing, producing, acting, even editing his own stuff. He’s got over twenty-two feature films under his belt (which, honestly, is kind of wild), and his projects have popped up everywhere: Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV, NBC, Sony, Warner Bros... you name it, he’s been there. He doesn’t really do “just one thing”—he’s all over the map, and he’s proud of that. One of his more recent pieces, The Killing of Kenneth Chamberlain, snagged some serious attention. Not only did Morgan Freeman jump on board as exec producer, but Enrico produced, edited, and starred in the thing. Yeah, he wears a lot of hats. The film landed on HBO Max, and he even picked up an Independent Spirit Award nomination for editing. Not too shabby. Now, he’s got a new one cooking: The Ritual. This one’s based on a real-life paranormal event that’s basically legend in America—think: one of those stories people whisper about for decades. It’s got Al Pacino and Dan Stevens leading the cast, and it’s set to hit theaters worldwide next year. Naturally, Enrico’s not just hanging out behind the scenes; he produced, wrote the story, edited, and acts in it too. On the business side, he’s running a bunch of companies: Department H (that’s his sales agency), Redbird Entertainment (production), MetaFilms (playing in the metaverse sandbox), and Legion Post for post-production. The guy never stops.
