Born in Leeds, now based in London via Manchester, Nate Camponi is a dynamic and visionary director known for innovative cinematic storytelling, striking visuals and the unique ability to work with actors and non-actors alike.

In short, he stole his parents' VHS copy of Blade Runner at 12 years old and never looked back, a transgression that marked the inception of a lifelong obsession with cinema, giving him an unnerving ability to make any script come to life. The result? Films laced with mischievous energy, cinematic quality and layered emotional depth.

His knack for blending narrative, visual artistry and strong performances has made him a sought-after director, helming campaigns for some of the most prestigious global brands, including Hyundai, M&S, Jack Daniels, Suzuki, Johnnie Walker, Chivas, NHS, Nike, William Hill, US Foods, NEOM, Goodyear, Qatar Airways, Talisker and Amazon among countless others, earning him numerous accolades at Cannes Lions, Clio, The One Show, Creative Circle, D&AD and LIA as well as finalist places at Virgin Media Shorts, Straight8 and other international film festivals.

And if you find his bio a tad self-indulgent, don’t worry. To make up for it, he's always up for a pint.
