Nat Boltt’s directorial debut, Holy Days was selected for the Toronto International Film Festival’s 50th anniversary. Starring Academy Award, Golden Globe, BAFTA and Emmy award honourees; Jacki Weaver, Judy Davis and Miriam Margolyes, the film was also highlighted at TIFF as one of 2025’s Most Anticipated Films.
A recipient of New Zealand Film Commission, Telefilm Canada, Writer’s Guild and Creative BC funding, Holy Days is an official international co-production that showcases Boltt’s ability to draw together an A-list production. She is a prolific content creator with comedy, horror and sci-fi on her upcoming slate.
Boltt’s craft was honed at the highly competitive Warner Brother Director’s Workshop, after which she directed Riverdale (Dance of Death - Season 5), with Den of Geek praising her for ‘the coolest sequence this show has pulled off in ages’ (see director reel below). Following these successes, Boltt went on to direct multiple episodes, including the season finale of break-out comedy, The Dressing Room.
Her award-winning films, The Silk, Vajazzle, A.T.A.C.K. and series Dropped Pie, received Best Screenwriting, Best Director, Best Short Film and Audience awards at film festivals from the US to New Zealand, her music videos Doll of Torture received critical and cinematographic acclaim, while Because I’m a Girl, which was catalyzed by pop legend, Pink, during her Beautiful Trauma tour, became the girl power anthem of 2019.
Boltt has enjoyed a successful acting career, is a respected environmental activist and has a social media following in the millions @natboltt (IG)
