... WHICH LED TO A STORY ABOUT LIFE ITSELF.
100% NOT FOR PROFIT
HI, I'M NATHAN...


I began developing I'm Not Gay at the end of 2018 after several years working as a videographer, choreographer, and musician. What started as a research project soon evolved into a truly unique adventure of self enquiry. With each new understanding about my present came a new appreciation for my past. I used this swell of ambition to write, compose, choreograph, shoot, edit, produce, and direct this proudly diverse Australian film.

I present to you a conversation about our collective human experience. A discussion you've been wanting to have. A gay film for straight people.
