Things worth remembering.

I make films, images and personal projects to hold onto what a moment felt like—not just what it looked like.

Currently building Cornerstone — an ongoing personal film series by nathancrs. These are some of the tools I use along the way.

Some things are worth holding onto. This is where I keep the stories, places, and moments I dont want to lose.

nathancrs is the personal creative archive of Nathan—films, photographs, travel journals and experiments shaped by memory, curiosity, and the urge to make something out of being there.

Cornerstone A personal film series about grief, memory, and moving through the world after loss.

I like making things that help me remember what being there felt like.

WHAT SHAPES THE WORK

I’m drawn to the things that are easy to forget — how a place felt, what a moment meant, and the small details that somehow stay with us.

I’m less interested in documenting exactly what happened than preserving what it felt like.

A NOTE FROM NATHAN

I dont start with a format. I start with something I cant stop thinking about.

The idea decides what it becomes — a film, a photograph, a trip, or something I haven’t tried before. I’m more interested in following it honestly than forcing it into one medium.

Most projects begin with a camera, a place, a half-formed idea, and far too many open tabs. The tools change, but the goal is always the same: make something that feels worth keeping.

Cameras, movement, sound, and editing — usually where an idea becomes real.

Frames I want to keep, whether they become part of a project or remain on their own.

Places are often part of the process, not just the background.

FROM IDEA TO SOMETHING REAL

Most things start as a feeling, a question, or a place I can’t stop thinking about.

Something catches my attention — a place, a feeling, a memory, or an idea I can’t shake. I usually don’t know what it will become yet, and that’s part of the point.

Leave Something Behind

There isn’t one fixed formula. I follow the idea, let the medium change when it needs to, and stop when the work finally feels like itself.

A FEW THINGS

A little more context on nathancrs, the work, and what I’m building along the way.

A few things
you might be
wondering.

What exactly is nathancrs?

nathancrs is my personal creative space — part portfolio, part archive, part ongoing experiment. It’s where I bring together films, photographs, travel journals, ideas, and whatever I feel curious enough to make next.

What is Cornerstone?

Are you a filmmaker or a photographer?

Why does travel show up so much in your work?

Do you use AI in your work?

Is everything here a personal project?

Can we make something together?

A place for films, photographs, travels, and the ideas I keep coming back to.
