About

Nathan Guay (B.F.A. Ithaca College) is a Los Angeles based screenwriter, songwriter, poet, author, and basically any other occupation that involves creative writing.

He loves, above all, crafting historical scripts. History is merely a collection of true stories, and Nathan believes that many cinematic stories from the past have gone untold.

It is his goal to tell them.
