Actor-writer-director, Nat Christian arrived in Los Angeles (via Virginia and New York), went to high school, wrote poetry and started college, where he studied filmmaking and cinema studies. Fellow students asked him to do acting roles in their projects, so he did and liked it. He began studying with some of the top acting coaches in the industry. Nat was soon cast in local plays and received critical acclaim and award s. He then landed running roles on TV including "General Hospital", "The Young and the Restless", "Days of Our Lives." Actor, Jerry Orbach (Law and Order), read one of Nat's screenplays, "California Casanova", and offered to play the lead role in it, which brought about the independent financing. Nat also directed the movie (MGM Home Video). He was then asked to direct the production company's other feature, a zany comedy, "Club Fed" (MGM Home Video). Nat wrote an existential love story entitled, "Channels". Olliewood Films optioned to produce "Channels" and asked Nat to star in it and he was given the opportunity to direct it as well. Caveat - only if he would first direct and produce another feature for Olliewood - "For Heaven's Sake", starring Allison Lange, David Paetkau, Stephanie Patton, Yaani King, Kathryn Gordon and the immortal Florence Henderson. It is released by Vanguard Cinema. "Channels" stars Nat along with Kim Oja, Ed Asner, John Kassir, Taylor Negron and Joan Van Ark. Music is by Rossano Galante. It was completed and released in 2008 (Vanguard Cinema). Both movies have been official selections and award winners at independent film festivals.
