19. Culture, Creativity, and Being a Christian in Hollywood | Nathan Davis

Today we are joined by Nathan Davis. Nathan studied Preaching Ministry at Lincoln Christian University, and moved to New England where he served on staff at two churches. Meanwhile he also started attending the New York Film Academy in Boston, where he discovered his passion for filmmaking and storytelling. In 2005, he packed up his car and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in film and entertainment, and ended up getting a job at Disney, where he worked for 16 years, most recently as an executive in Cinema Partnerships, leading in-theater marketing campaigns for Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and Disney films. Then, in January of this year, he joined The Chosen as their Head of Marketing Strategy and Operations. He has an MBA and also holds an MA in Mythological Studies, and is currently working on his dissertation on humanity's narrative sense and how stories shape our understanding of the world. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Yesenia, and his five-month-old Labrador puppy, Walt. For more written, audio and video resources, go to axis.org.
