Realizing this, Nathan relocated to Los Angeles in 2002, after having graduated from Wesleyan University with a dual degree in English and Film. A Quarterfinalist in the Nicholl Fellowship -- sponsored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences -- and Semi-finalist in the Chesterfield Fellowship co-sponsored by Paramount Pictures, Nathan is also the Writer and Co-Producer of MIDNIGHT CLEAR (starring Guy Torry and Victoria Rowell; Executive-Produced by Ralph Winter), Producer of PIZZA KING JR, and Writer/Director of POP STAR (starring Adam Campbell).
