Nathan Morris
Director
Originally from New Zealand, Nathan had a hands-on start in filmmaking, shooting and editing documentary films. He landed a job working as an editor for NZ broadcast television. He then directed and edited segments for the infamous (in New Zealand anyhow) multi-award-winning show The Living Room. In 2000 he flipped a coin and moved to London. After a few months of editing Robot Wars and high-profile shows like Tonight with Trevor McDonald and Popworld, he began to transition to directing full-time in the UK.
Directing 'history’s greatest music show', Popworld (it was kinda like Between Two Ferns but with music). While in the UK he also worked with Lady Gaga, The Foo Fighters, The Smashing Pumpkins and Rihanna. He directed shows for C4, BBC and Channel 5. He then moved into branded content working with brands like Samsung, Sony, and Virgin. He also began to write his own narrative films. His debut short film At Dawn won the Directors' Choice Award at RIIFF. His next, People Are Only Interesting When You Get To Know Them, was selected for 3 Oscar qualifying festivals. My Eyes Are Up Here, a romantic comedy funded by the BBC and BFI, starring Jillian Mercado premiered on opening night at the 2022 London Film Festival. Combing techniques from both fiction and non-fiction, Nathan’s visual style is innovative. His films feature memorable performances and humour. Mixed with his strong sense of story results in gritty films with a big heart. He is currently developing a feature script and writing bio’s about himself in the third person.
