By the time he was twelve-years-old, Nathan Chitayat had lived in five cities in three different countries from his birthplace in Israel, to Toronto where his family settled down. Growing up, he enjoyed creative writing, and most other forms of artistic expression, but in the interest of practicality, chose to go to business school for his undergraduate degree. As time went by, his tolerance for such fields as finance and accounting proved negligible. At the same time he’d always loved film; a medium that inspired and fascinated, fueling all of the extreme emotions that every day life rarely allows. And so, he made the decision to pursue the dream of creating in this medium, applied to graduate film school at UCLA and got accepted. While at UCLA, Nathan received two Motion Picture Association of America Awards, the Edie and Lew Wasserman Filmmaker’s Fellowship, and the Joseph W. Drown Award for Motion Picture Production. He has written and directed several short films as well as having written two feature length scripts, and has just graduated with a Masters of Fine Arts.
