Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Director, writer and actor Nat Boltt's debut feature, Holy Days, stars Golden Globe, Emmy, BAFTA and Academy Award honorees Judy Davis, Miriam Margolyes and Jacki Weaver. Selected for the Toronto International Film Festival's 50th anniversary edition, the film sold out its US screenings at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival before a successful global theatrical roll out, topping the box office in New Zealand. Holy Days won Best Motion Picture at the Leo Awards, with Boltt taking Best Director.

Boltt also directs episodic television, with credits including Riverdale and The Dressing Room, starring Eric McCormack. An alumna of the acclaimed Warner Bros. Directors Program, she trained under industry leaders Mary Lou Belli, Bethany Rooney, Lee Toland Krieger (You, Riverdale) and Maggie Kiley (Dirty John), and her work has been supported by Sony Pictures, Warner Bros., the New Zealand Film Commission, Telefilm, Creative BC and the CBC.

Born in South Africa, Boltt created and ran CrazE for Etv, writing over 300 episodes; the show continued for another 18 years after her departure for North America. As a staff writer she contributed to the acclaimed drama Hard Copy (SABC), Emu (BBC) and the M-Net comedies Font, Girls and Coconuts. She also wrote Desert Lake Venture for National Geographic and is a published author (Double Decker Bus, Naspers).

Boltt has also enjoyed a successful career in front of the camera (Riverdale, District 9), which - together with her passion for animals and the environment - has earned her a social media following in the millions. She is a board member of Wildlife Conservation International, sits on the Directors Guild of Canada's Sustainability Committee, and advocates for diversity, inclusion, environmental causes and Indigenous rights.

What she most likes about herself: she has been adopted by baby squirrels. Not once, but twice.
