About

Nathan Breton is a director, writer, and producer based in Brooklyn, NY. At an early age, he was known by many in his family of three for his groundbreaking sock puppet film, which took place mostly outside of the hand-held VHS camcorder frame. In 5th grade, he worked his way into procedurals, directing acclaimed actors Teddy and Fluffy, most known for their stoic performances in "Bear Operation: Emergency Room." Today, he gravitates toward stories that entertain through aliveness, challenge audiences with feeling, and investigate universal truths.

Nathan has directed over twenty short films, three webseries, and hundreds of commercial projects. His short film anthology, Countdown (2019), premiered at Slamdance 2020 before receiving distribution on the digital platform, Ficto. Nathan carries a cross-disciplinary skillset, navigating roles as an advertising executive, piano accompanist, indie producer, set builder, editor, post-supervisor…all of which feed a passion for finding efficiencies and sustainability within creative work.

Nathan has studied the Technique with Joan Scheckel since 2018. In February 2023, he wrote and directed his first feature film, Firelight.
