Nathanael worked on Sleep No More for over three years. He led a writers' room with Connor Murphy, where they workshopped the story and characters. The film was shot in Georgetown and Fitchburg, Massachusetts in August of 2019, with post-production completed in 2020.
Sleep No More played at sixteen festivals, winning six awards, and garnering eight other nominations. The film served as a monumental learning experience for Nathanael, and a significant stepping stone in his film career.
"These emerging filmmakers manage to create a spooky, female-focused short, while also leaving the audience wondering if there is a deeper meaning to take away."
The Making of Sleep No More is a documentary following the making of the short film, from its script development in 2017 through to its premiere in 2020.
