Nathan Silver graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in 2005. Since then, the filmmaker has written and directed four short films and seven features: THE BLIND (2009), EXIT ELENA (2012), SOFT IN THE HEAD (2013), UNCERTAIN TERMS (2014), STINKING HEAVEN (2015), ACTOR MARTINEZ (2016, co-directed with Mike Ott), and THIRST STREET (2017). His films have played festivals and venues around the world, including New York Film Festival, Venice, Tribeca, Mar del Plata, AFI, Locarno, Rotterdam, Viennale, MoMA and the Cineteca Nacional, Mexico. The New Yorker recently called Silver "a modernistic master of melodrama," and the New York Times did a profile on him.
