After spending much of the day spot-checking my film, I’m officially 100% done with it! Come see it on Sunday (in person) or Tuesday (online). More info here: natesheppard.com/theriver

Thank you to everyone who came out for the premiere of THE RIVER yesterday! Your support and enthusiasm is much appreciated. If you didn’t get a chance to see it, I’ll be premiering it online tomorrow night (Tuesday, June 27th at 7PM Central) LINK: youtu.be/tAs_BSp3Aos

Thanks to everyone who came to the premiere showings this past week! This will be my last post about the film for awhile, but if you’re still interested in seeing it, I’ve got two more showings planned for the summer (details here: natesheppard.com/theriver).

You may have noticed that my latest film THE RIVER is not currently publicly available to watch online at the moment. If you’d still like to see the film, leave reply or shoot me a message and I’d be happy to send you a link to view it.

Two of my films are official selections this year!

What a fun weekend hanging out in Madison with my buddy Andrew! Thanks to the Madison Film Festival for having us.

Be among the first to see a new trailer I composed music for!

I have the distinct privilege of being the composer and sound designer for a film about a place that is near and dear to my heart. Introducing “A Kingdom of Tea and Strangers,” a new documentary film by Houston and Debbie Coley. Check it out!

Last night, Andrea and I had the chance to perform a together alongside a ton of other incredible local musicians! One of the pieces Andrea and I performed is an arrangement of music from all of the feature films I’ve composed music for. LISTEN HERE: youtube.com/watch?v=VD1r-3…

I've been out chasing the lights since March and I finally was able to see them with my naked eye. Obviously, cameras can see a lot more color, but it was a truly majestic moment when we began to see the first flashes and beams on the horizon.

Such a delight to see *two* of my films in the lineup of selections for last month's inaugural Madison Film Festival. Thanks again to Madison Film Festival for your part in supporting independent filmmakers! (You can see the full list at madisonfilmfestival.com)

I won three awards from the Basin Short Film Festival (Best Documentary, Best Installation, Best of the Basin). If you're in the area and want to attend with me, I'll be there for the showings of my films. More info here: createportagecounty.org/basinfest

I shot my first narrative short film with director Andrew Egan! There was a cast and crew of about 15 people and while many of us had never done something like this before, I was blown away by how well everything came together. Stay tuned! (Photo by Norma Dycus Pennycuff)

Join me tonight (Oct. 10) on The Nate Show for all things film! I’m showing my most recent feature film once more and then talking about three other film projects coming down the line (pictured here). Livestream starts at 7:30PM central on YouTube: youtube.com/natesheppard

Big news! I just launched the Kickstarter to raise the finishing funds for my feature documentary, A Kingdom of Tea & Strangers. It's been fun to dream up some rewards and ways to get people involved in the process. Hope you'll consider coming along! kickstarter.com/projects/artwi…

physical media nerds on Twitter are pretty much the only people who will be interested in this: my buddy Nate and I cooked up a fully-playable VHS edition of my film A Kingdom of Tea & Strangers, and it's available as an add-on over on the Kickstarter! kickstarter.com/projects/artwi…

the Kickstarter for my documentary just hit 70% funded! I'm so hyped about it. I really think we're gonna be able to hit our goal, but we'll need to fill that gap in the next 4 days! the campaign ends on Friday at midnight. hope to see ya there! kickstarter.com/projects/artwi…
