Roger has directed TV series like THE OFFICE and THE BERNIE MAC SHOW, and edited Emmy-nominated episodes of CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM and VEEP, including the upcoming seasons this year.

Roger Nygard’s indie features include the notorious documentary, TREKKIES, the gritty comedy-drama, SUCKERS, a documentary about Alien enthusiasts, SIX DAYS IN ROSWELL, and the spiritual documentary, THE NATURE OF EXISTENCE -- or: what's the point of everything?

THE NATURE OF EXISTENCE, was an official selection of twenty film festivals, won multiple best documentary awards, and was released theatrically in 15 U.S. cities. Afterward, Nygard looked for a new topic, something even more inexplicable than existence itself, and only one topic fit that challenge: THE TRUTH ABOUT MARRIAGE, was screened at film festivals in 2019, and was released this year.
