Nathan’s work bridges academic and creative spheres to cultivate media that reforms our sensibilities in positive ways. He received his PhD in Film and Visual Studies from Harvard University in 2023. He is currently in pre-production to direct the first of several short films he has written.

As a writer, consultant, and speaker, he loves partnering with organizations and individuals to expand our ethical imaginations: by clarifying pressing cultural problems, and constructing novel aesthetic practices, in order to catalyze collective pursuits of goodness – in ways that surprise and nourish.

In short: if you are curious about the potential of sensory experience to reform our deeply broken world, his work is right up your alley.
