Nathan Morlando

A graduate of the University of Toronto, Morlando debuted at the 2002 Toronto International Film Festival with his short film Countdown.[3] He had already written the script for Citizen Gangster, which was slated to be directed by Denis Villeneuve in 2000.[4] The film was not made at that time, however, and Morlando became its director by the time it finally moved forward in the 2010s.[5]
