"Beautiful World: The Great Daryl Nathan Story"

A documentary on the Grand Rapids legend, The Great Daryl Nathan, that I made years ago in film school.

Daryl was a local legend due to his cable access show "The Great Daryl Nathan's Entertainment Show" on GRTV in, I think 1996. The next year I wound up interning at WKTV, the cable access station just outside of Grand Rapids. I asked Daryl if I could do a documentary on him. He said sure. By this time he had stopped making shows for GRTV. After shooting the doc Dale Chilton and I started producing Daryl's new show for - "The New Great Daryl Nathan's Entertainment Show." It was a blast. Alas, all good things come to an end and I moved to Los Angeles. After finding some of Daryl's videos on YouTube I decided to dust this thing off.

Part 1 of 2.

  • I love youtube because of this very reason. Before youtube there was public access and before access there was the corner store singer and before the corner store singer there was the storyteller. The natural evolution.

  • Daryl Nathan,

    My mother, my sister, and I have been fans of yours for at least a decade. We used to look forward to watching The Great Daryl Nathan Entertainment Show on GRTV every week.

    I am spreading your music to the younger generations, including the babies, the children, the teenagers, and the young parents!

    I love you! Keep on being Great!

see all
