Natasha Nutkiewicz

April 10, 2024

Crude Conspiracy (Fiction TV Series), Miami, FL

 This limited series examines the most powerful American oil company and its 50-year-long conspiracy against climate science, democracy and everyday citizens.

“We hope to uncover the lies the oil industry has told us to stop feeling hopeless and guilty, but empowered to seek justice and take action in this climate emergency.”

NATASHA is a Spanish, American, and Argentinian actress & filmmaker. She is a first-generation graduate of the University of Southern California thanks to the Andrew Lloyd Webber scholarship. Her most formative experiences were growing up in her father’s theater in Buenos Aires and immigrating to Miami at 12 years old. She dealt with the climate crisis first hand which inspired her to combine storytelling with activism. She created environmentally driven films while also producing USC’s first-ever Eco Film Festival. There she met her co-creator Courtnee Zambrano (Apple TV’s Extrapolations) and together they are developing the TV series “Crude Conspiracy”.
