Director Biography - Nathan Appleby

I’m Nathan, a student at Teesside University on a film and television production course, who’s looking to further my knowledge in my field, hoping that it will lead into directing and writing and turning my passion into a career. I love the possibilities of this medium, because it allows me to explore and showcase creative movies, that evoke interesting atmospheres, which is one of, if not my main goal when making movies, to make something fresh and unique.

Director Statement

I wanted to make this film because it’s a story about polar opposites, while the rest of the world celebrates a day that will be them at their best, for another it could be them at their worst and I think that exploring this contrast is what makes my film really shine, where it really awakens the audience to the idea of people out there every day, who live on the other side of the coin.
