Nathan Getzin

Production Lead

Nathan Getzin is our digital arts renaissance man. After studying Web Design he started his professional career building interactive media websites and mastering the ins and outs of the Adobe Creative Suite. He honed his graphic design skills creating logos and designing and building websites. 

This love of visual expression broadened when he picked up a vintage film camera with a broken light meter and learned the art of capturing life the old fashioned way. 

The eventual purchase of a digital camera lead him into videography where he cut his teeth creating films for a non-profit and collaborating with emerging artists. The resulting portfolio earned him the role of Director of Photography with North Central Washington’s premier production company North 40. Deemed North 40’s “quintessential utility player” Nathan films, animates, edits, writes, and even occasionally acts in pieces ranging from commercial ads, documentaries, narrative shorts, and action sports ads. Add this all together and Nathan is more than qualified to be Northern Flicker’s Lead Creative.
