His student films were televised and screened locally and internationally, most notably as part of the Cannes Film Festival’s American Pavilion program highlighting new faces in American cinema. While still a student he signed with John Orlando, at the time a manager at Circle of Confusion. With a desire to create more personal films and explore the growing Asian markets Nathan developed his next project, Model American, with the Korean Film Council, which received the organization’s highest writing award.
