London Watterson & Nathan Castorena
Every film screening has a lot going on behind the scenes. HCCA Cinema has been a team effort from the beginning, and two of the people helping shape it are London Watterson and Nathan Castorena.
London and Nathan are both recent UTSA graduates and have been involved in film in a number of different ways, from making films to shaping events.
London has been involved with the arts around the Hill Country, including a film screening series in San Antonio, and has worked on films through illustration and graphic design. London has also appeared in films and has been an active part of the local arts community, including being a member of the Boerne Visual Artists.
And if you’ve noticed that our HCCA Cinema posters have a particular look, that’s London. Every HCCA Cinema poster so far has been created by London, giving each screening its own artwork.
Nathan is a filmmaker, writer, and director with experience both in front of and behind the camera. Nathan has worked with filmmakers and film companies in San Antonio, and has brought that experience into HCCA Cinema as well. Nathan handles our technical planning and all of our playlists that goes into each showing.
HCCA Cinema has been a collaborative project from the beginning, and London and Nathan have each brought a lot to the table. Between the films, the artwork, the playlists, the technical side, and everything else that happens before the audience ever takes a seat, there’s a lot of work that goes into making a night at the movies happen.
We’re grateful for all the creativity, time, and work London and Nathan have put into HCCA Cinema, every step of the way.
