Nathan is a filmmaker and professor with a PhD in Film and Visual Studies from Harvard University. His short film, Wag, will premiere in early 2026.

As an artist and consultant, writer and speaker, Nathan engages surprising and subversive aesthetic practices in order to illuminate unforeseen goodness – and catalyze collective pursuits of human flourishing.

Nathan is particularly committed to pursuing how cinema, like a suncatcher, has the capacity to absorb and transform light in ways that blow our minds and hearts for the better.
