Question 4

Who?

Accepted Answer

Nate Garberich grew up in Seattle making fart videos with his friend Peter.  (Unfortunately, that collection is lost to history.)

In college, he made more serious films, including one about the involuntary manslaughter of a squirrel (squirrelslaughter?), along with advertisements for a hot dog stand he and a friend started (The Underdog).

After college, Nate and his friend Ricky figured out how to make actual professional videos, doing so for organizations like the YMCA, the University of Washington Farm, and the Bellevue Police Foundation.

Despite more client work on the horizon, Nate and Ricky wanted to explore the world through other career paths, so they closed up shop in 2015.

Nate then worked for barge company in Alaska’s Bristol Bay, on a Carnival cruise ship in the Caribbean, and for a civil litigation firm in Seattle.  These were all interesting experiences, but he missed video, so…

In 2022, he started Chuckanut with a mission to:

1 - Create videos that startle people into thinking, that elicit emotion, that bring joy

2 - Work with people who are passionate about their own work

3 - Operate with character, honesty, integrity, and humility

4 - Make it fun for our clients along the way
