    About this Episode

    Writer, director, cinematographer and actor, Nathan Caywood is a 36 year old, corn fed midwesterner who moved to L.A. nearly 15 years ago to do improv comedy. He studied at and performed UCB, iO, and the Groundlings and through that experience became a commercial actor. But during his journey of acting in dozens of commercials, he fell in love with cameras, lenses and lighting. Nathan started directing sketches and short films around UCB with his now writing and directing partner, Echo Kellum. But it wasn't until he started working in a rental house that he realized he was truly in love with the art of cinematography.
