Nathan Westenhaver has always been captivated by the arts. His experience has been paved by a true passion for film, & television. Nathan Westenhaver found that having an artistic outlet was the perfect way to express his thoughts, creativity, and imagination. He quickly fell in love with directing and have not looked back since, committing to a career as a professional Filmmaker. He attended Northern Arizona University, where he obtained a Bachelors of Science in Electronic Media and Film, focusing on screenwriting. It was during this time he became fascinated with the film noir and crime thriller genres. He later enrolled in Florida State University’s Masters program for film production, specializing in directing where he wrote and directed three short films.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
