In addition to her success in front of the camera, Nat Boltt is also recognized as an award-winning writer and director, with her debut feature, Holy Days set for release in 2025.
Starring Academy Award, Golden Globe, BAFTA and Emmy award winners/nominees Jacki Weaver, Judy Davis and Miriam Margolyes, this road-trip adventure comedy received
support from the New Zealand Film Commission and Telefilm Canada.
It is eagerly awaited as Boltt’s high
profile passion project and one of
few feature films to be successfully financed in risk-averse 2024.
Boltt’s second feature, Sweet Child of Mine is set for production in 2026.
She also received rave reviews for directing 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). Boltt’s craft was honed at the highly competitive Warner Brother Director’s Workshop.
Boltt has directorial experience in both comedy and drama, with The Silk, Vajazzle, A.T.A.C.K. and series Dropped Pie, winning multiple Best Screenwriting, Best Director, Best Short Film and Audience Awards at film festivals from the US to New Zealand, including Dallas International, Portland, Los Angeles Women’s, Vancouver Women’s, Rockport, Honolulu, PopCon, Awesome Con, Chicago Women’s Comedy and the Canadian Leo Awards.
