nathan is {mission}
to empower everyone--especially the youth--with the education, skills, and confidence they need to be anyone and anything they want to be--because the world needs their talents, individuality, and greatness
to inspirea more loving, compassionate, understanding, and forgiving world--because life is too short for anything that even remotely resembles the ugly opposites
to listen to, be open to, andbe empathetic about all human emotions--because in this world so focused on technological and medical improvements, often the most effective, immediate, and missing cure is the simple human "touch"
to make films about, write about, and revealthe rawest, most vulnerable, most true, and most particular of human experiences--because life is but a universal experience, and what anyone is going through is what everyone has gone through or can go through
to entertain and set the stage for finding humor anywhere and everywhere, anytime and everytime--because laughter is ultimately the most important thing we humans share
