Nate is an LA based writer and director from central California with a proclivity for stories about seldom discussed social issues. He moved to Los Angeles at eighteen to begin his film career as a Set PA as a means to getting his foot in the door, and has worked his way toward a writers room ever since. He has written and directed three short films, one season of a web-series, two commercials, and is presently shopping two pilots. He is currently cutting his teeth as a Writers' Assistant, having worked in rooms for the Emmy winning Homeland and FOX hit, The Resident.
As a middle class skate punk, I grew up surrounded by friends from all tax brackets. I watched affluent kids boxed in by expectations abandon their relationships with "lower class" friends. I watched good friends spend nights in jail for sleeping in public, avoiding their broken homes. I watched some of those kids die from drug habits they picked up living that way, and I watched some of them find a way out. These people sought to redefine their own American Dream by living on their own terms, reliant only on each other, and we as a nation make that very difficult for them. I want to depict society's rejects in a different light, warts and all.
