about

Nathan Blackie is an Art Director with more than 15 years of experience creating environments for large-scale film and television productions in Calgary and Toronto.

Having had the opportunity to work alongside leading Supervising Art Directors and Production Designers on projects including The Last of Us, Ghostbusters, Fargo, and The Revenant, he now brings that experience into his own work.

“I am dedicated and passionate about making films and supporting stories and characters through design. My obsession with layering detail through materials, ageing, architecture, and imagination is ultimately what makes the difference between something status quo and something truly cinematic and unforgettable.

I started as a set dec trainee and have worked in SPFX, set dec, construction, props.

I’m fortunate to be surrounded by fantastic people who share that same ultimate goal. Set design and filmmaking in general—is a team sport, and it’s an honour to work alongside great filmmakers who are willing to collaborate, push ideas, and make something fantastic despite the obstacles or constraints of a particular project”
