Nathaniel started out his journey in front of the camera, but quickly fell into producing after acting on a poorly-produced production, quickly realising he could do a much better job. We asked Nathaniel to discuss his experiences of the producing world and his lessons learned along the way.

• Experiencing problems and learning to deal with them as the role requires.
• Giving your best efforts and the opportunities this leads to.
• Having more than one project in the pipeline.
• Creating a proof of concept short film (POC).
• Keeping cast and crew in good spirits when there’s a low budget.
• Learning to work around the budget and finding other routes to get the best out of your project.
• The importance of catering on-set.
• Understanding how films grants may or may not be beneficial to your project.
• The difficulty of securing finance for your film and the element of luck.
