Nate Bargatze’s Next Act: Ushering In A New Era Of Family-Friendly Comedy Through Nateland Entertainment
Nate Bargatze breaks down his ambitions to dominate the space of family-friendly comedy with his burgeoning media company, Nateland Entertainment.
Jason Heyman, a partner and film packaging agent at UTA who has worked with Bargatze for around five years, believes a key to his stratospheric rise has been that he “knows his brand and audience inside and out,” and “doesn’t stray” from it. The thrust of Verdigets’ early focus would be business fundamentals — building a holding structure for Nateland, assessing and fine-tuning the company’s revenue-cost ratio, and helping to define its five key verticals, including Touring, Digital, TV/Film, Experiences, and Products and Merchandise. While projects like The Breadwinner are being made through traditional channels, Bargatze is open to the prospect of self-financing and producing others to flip to studios and streamers, taking a page from the playbooks of everyone from Shane Gillis to M. Night Shyamalan, who has put their money where their mouth is, when it comes to their work.
