About Bradley Nathaniel-Thomas

As an actor & filmmaker based in South Wales, I’m always looking for the next opportunity to explore an engaging character, story and world. I’ve worked in many different areas from acting to writing, directing, filming and editing my short films. I try to tell new stories that challenge what has come before or provides my own take. A story that I hadn't seen and would want to see myself. Taking various genres/ideas and finding a new angle on them. I love using my creative mind to explore these possibilities, finding the most effective way to portray different characters, themes and stories. If you would like to learn more about my work, interests, or past projects, get in touch today and make sure to explore my website.

Bradley Nathaniel-Thomas Acting Showreel 2024

This showreel encompasses my work on the MA Screen Acting and Performance course at the University for the Creative Arts. Plus a few theatre projects and TV work. Email - bradley.nt.actor@gmail.com Spotlight Profile - https://app.spotlight.com/2019-5611-2054 Short films from UCA included: The Ones Left Behind – On the screen acting module. We had to improvise a short scene with the characters we created through a hot-seating interview task. Which we then scripted to form a short film. This created a story about loss and grief. How losing someone affects the people left behind. I felt the improvisation helped us to make the scenes feel more real as our dialogue flowed naturally. “Adrenaline” – Also for the screen acting module, we had to adapt a scripted scene to form our own short story. Based on Birdman by Alejandro G. Iñárritu comes this short scene that’s centred around a love triangle. In our version, the dialogue is split between three characters instead of two. Which you will see in the full short film. I think it helped to approach the script as its own short story so we weren’t trying to replicate the original film it comes from. Loop Pool – an interactive time loop film that I started to develop on the digital performer module. Where the audience would guide Jack’s choices, uncovering more about the characters to find the truth and escape the loop. This clip is from a proof of concept but I hope to develop this story further one day. With many choices which was difficult to come up with but a fun new way of writing. Seeing the different ways you could take a character. Dear, Future Me – This is my final major project so I set myself the task of making the biggest short film I ever made. It involves a student photographer called Clive who meets his future selves. Discovering more about himself and the different person he could be. Where I play all versions of Clive which was quite a challenge. I'm really proud of how it’s turned out. I didn’t have a crew, had some help with a few scenes but mostly had to film it by myself. This I found challenged my ability to adapt between roles. I had to switch from director to actor (for multiple roles). Guiding my performance to best fit the shots I wanted. The Last Trip – Finally, I didn’t just act in short films for my course. I also collaborated with other students, including Sudrak Kar from the MA Animation course. Who created this brilliant rotoscope-animated experimental short film. About an old man who relives his memories from a spoiled photograph. I portray the old man throughout his life. It’s crazy to see what Sudrak created from the footage we shot. We filmed it around our student accommodation which as you guess looks nothing like the locations in the film. I lay on a table instead of a bed. Also, I had never done a rotoscope-animated film before. Found it took a lot of imagination and speaking with Sudrak to understand what would be happening in the scenes. Also making sure the expressions came through on my face so it would be easier for Sudrak to draw over them. TV work: The Real Serpent: Investigating A Serial Killer - This documentary series for Channel 4 centres around serial killer Charles Sobhraj, known as ‘The Serpent’. Who undergoes interrogation from experts to get to the truth. I briefly play Dominique Renelleau, a Frenchman who managed to escape Charles Sobhraj. It was my first time working on a documentary and provided me a good insight into how they are made. We filmed multiple scenes so the editor had a selection of shots to choose from. Theatre work: A Time Traveller’s Guide to Theatrical Brecon - This was a promenade performance set around the town of Brecon. Bringing the history of Brecon’s theatre to life. I played Roger Kemble and John Boles Watson. It was directed by Joan Manley, and run by the company Brecon Little Theatre. This clip comes from a film version we shot a week before the performances. It was great fun to perform out in the town with the audience being locals in Brecon. Not being limited to a stage. However did present challenges with a noisy landscape. But we stuck to the scenes and adjusted our voices so the audience could hear. The performances went well. A Midsummer Night’s Dream - This abridged adaption located Shakespeare's play in a contemporary setting, of a patriarchal, homophobic society, but aimed to raise the spirits! Directed by David Ian Rabey, Shannon Black and Elizabeth Sharpe. This was my theatre project back on my BA Drama and Theatre course at Aberystwyth University. Where I played Demetrius. Before I used to struggle with Shakespeare but found I learned to understand the words in this one. I saw an inner conflict with Demetrius. I believe he always wanted to be with Helena but thought he should be with Hermia. He knows he isn’t a good guy and is unworthy of Helena’s love. The potion brought out his best qualities for her and made him prove his worth.
