in the making. Josh and Nate met while attending the Churchill School
in the late 1970’s. They both went on to attend the boarding
school Eagle Hill, where they then graduated and went their separate
ways for more than 15 years, before reuniting to begin working on
a documentary about students living with learning disabilities that
would change their own lives.

and camera operator. In addition to directing various

independent films; The Theory of the Leisure Class and
The Unsuspected. He currently lives in Los Angeles where
