Nathan was a true pleasure to work with. He was responsive, communicative, and willing to tackle any task to complete this project on deadline. He even went out of his way to get broll so that we could include timely footage from the 2020 Mardi Gras parades for this piece on King Cake in New Orleans. I definitely recommend working with him for future projects!

This was a challenging project and Nathan did an excellent job collecting enough outstanding material during that production phase that we were able to work through a complex post-production process. He took feedback well and was eager to produce a story that fit our brand and our vision. The final version was exactly what we had in mind.
