Nate is a life-long film fan, who, in his youth, became hooked on cinema when special effects laden films like ‘Terminator 2: Judgement Day’ and ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’ enticed his imagination. He is the co-founder of Project: Blu, in addition to being one of those ever-so-helpful moderators in our very own forums, and aims to one day find the inspiration necessary to stop fiddle-farting his life away and put some thoughts on paper and develop a novel or screenplay.
