My name is Nate Cahoon and I am Film Maker based out of Salt Lake City, Utah. Ever since I was 10 years old I knew that I was put on this earth to be behind a lens. From filming epic ski spine in Alaska, to turning a boring product video into a cinematic masterpiece, my goal is to make video look other worldly. Growing up in Salt Lake City, and traveling the world as a ski videographer, I’m at home on the slopes, or at the peak of a mountain.
Every project I work on, my mission is simple: to make you feel something. Cool visuals are great, but what matters most to me is connecting to people on a human level. It will show on screen. I promise.
