Nathan Russell-Raby is an accomplished filmmaker with over a decade of experience in production, development, and storytelling.

Nathan began his career at Pinewood Studios, working as a Locations Assistant on major film and TV productions. During this time, he gained national creative exposure when his short-form comedy work was featured by BBC Three’s Funny in 15.

He later joined Pinewood’s content investment arm as a screenwriter, where he was personally mentored by the studio’s executive team and developed hands-on expertise in financing strategy, production, distribution and marketing.

Nathan then developed factual entertainment for Channel 5 and UKTV before making his feature-length directorial debut with 3 Wheeling — a cinematic documentary filmed at the Isle of Man TT.
