During his first year at NYU, Nathan directed a complex sound piece titled Dreamsynth, which earned him first place in the annual Tony Hawkins Award for Radio Drama. He continued his work in sound as co-producer of Headphone Theater, a weekly anthology series at WNYU-FM.

It was during his first professional job editing Media Tanks: The Video for California Polytechnic at San Luis Obispo that Nathan first realized how much he enjoyed the medium of video. Though this particular project was originally an educational video intended for in-house use, Nathan developed the project into what has been called one of the most professional-looking videos that the school has ever turned out. Based upon this strong reaction, the Irrigation Training and Research Center has since successfully marketed the film to potential media tank buyers.

During his sophomore year Nathan continued to experiment with video and also began working with film. The experience of directing many short films provided Nathan with the opportunity to experiment with different styles of comedy. As a result of this experimentation, he co-directed and co-wrote a video piece titled Home Again that was chosen to be screened at the NYU Fundamentals Festival as well as abroad at an international media symposium in Columbia.

Nathan continued experimenting with film by shooting the first successful 3-D film at NYU. Using the patented Chromatech 3-D process, he was able to cost-effectively shoot an entire short film in 3-D. After realizing how much he enjoyed video, Nathan then turned his efforts toward sitcoms. Along with his colleagues at Tisch, he co-wrote and co-directed Sitcom 2000, the first comedy series created for both television and the world wide web.

Currently, Nathan is overseeing post-production of Sitcom 2000 and is also looking into the expanding medium of internet television. In his spare time Nathan enjoys discussing classic literature, computer programming, political activism, and jokes, as well as maintaining a satirical electronic 'zine devoted to anti-censorship issues.
