Local Filmmaker Nathan Price Makes His Mark
Fort Worth's burgeoning arts scene is shining a little brighter with Nathan Price's eagerly anticipated debut short film, Dave is Indecisive. This eight-minute comedy, which notably dives into the challenges of modern dating, encapsulates the spirit of creativity that thrives in our community. Nathan's film will make its debut at the renowned Lone Star Film Festival, promising to deliver laughs and relatable experiences.
The Journey from Setbacks to Success
Nathan’s journey to the festival stage wasn’t without its hurdles. Initially, during the pandemic, he abandoned his film project after a disaster caused by his mischievous dog, Milo, when it knocked his hard drive to the ground. It felt like a sign, and for a time, Nathan lost hope. Yet, creativity has a way of reshaping itself; three years later, a flicker of inspiration struck, leading him to revisit his earlier script.
With the help of friends, Nathan filmed Dave is Indecisive in just a few weeks. The process involved borrowing equipment and filming in a kitchen for six hours—a true testament to passion and collaboration over resources. It wasn't long before he uploaded the final cut to YouTube. Though the film initially flew under the radar, encouragement from his friend Michael Ryan motivated him to submit it to the Lone Star Film Festival.
Spotlighting Creative Voices at the Festival
The Lone Star Film Festival has become a vital platform for emerging filmmakers, like Nathan. This year, five filmmakers from Fort Worth, including Nathan, are set to showcase their work, highlighting the robust creative community right here in our city. The festival not only provides an opportunity for networking but also showcases unique storytelling perspectives that resonate with audiences on various levels.
The comedy portrays the relatable existential overthinking that many experience in the age of online dating. Nathan shared his own experiences narrating self-doubt while texting. His hope is that viewers will find humor and a sense of connection within his narrative. “If one person sees it and thinks, ‘That was different, and it resonated with me,’ I’d feel fulfilled,” he expressed.
Connecting with the Community
As a Fort Worth resident, Nathan approaches the festival with a mix of excitement and nerves. Screening in his hometown adds a layer of familiarity and comfort. “There’s no better place for me to debut than here where I feel at home.” The festival runs from October 30 and includes screenings, networking opportunities, and celebrations that bring together emerging and established filmmakers. According to Nathan’s perspective, an artistic community thrives on support, encouragement, and shared experiences.
