As in January 2020, Nattiv and Jaime Ray Newman together with Keshet Studios have been known developing A Stuntwoman, a limited series based on the book of the same name by Julie Ann Johnson and Deadline's David Robb. The series is about Johnson, a pioneer for women stunt performers and one of Hollywood's first whistle-blowers. It tells the story based on the real life incidents about Johnson who in the '70s became one of the first female stunt coordinators in Hollywood. Johnson battled Hollywood's 'glass ceiling'; she took on the stunt community's 'cocaine cowboys' and she fought against one of the most formidable film and television personalities of her time, Aaron Spelling.[39][40][41]

Receptions
Nattiv said in his Academy Awards speech, "I moved here five years ago from Israel, Layla tov Israel. And my grandparents are Holocaust survivors. And, you know, the bigotry that they experienced in the Holocaust, we see that everywhere today in America, in Europe. And this film is about education. It's about teaching your kids a better way". According to Gal Uchovsky, Nattiv's Oscar win is "a big deal", because it could open doors for other Israeli filmmakers with dreams of making it big in Hollywood.[45] Variety called him "an undeniably gifted filmmaker" and the film Skin a "stunner".[46] Avner Shavit, a veteran film critic for Israeli news site Walla! told The Wrap "he'd never seen anything like it".[45]

In 2012, Nattiv married actress and producer
