Nolan Kresnak is a filmmaker, an artist, and a creative director whose work inhabits the space between beauty and chaos. Moving fluidly across film, photography, and visual storytelling, Nolan creates projects that explore memory, identity, and desire through bold imagery and intimate character studies.


Alongside his independent film work, Nolan has served as Associate Creative Director for a leading beauty brand, where he directed and shot high-impact model campaigns for new product launches. His ability to merge cinematic storytelling with editorial and commercial aesthetics has shaped a distinct creative voice — one that bridges independent filmmaking and brand-driven visual narratives.


As a filmmaker, Nolan’s work has screened internationally, including Hounds of Love, which premiered at Filmschool Fest Munich and went on to screen at the Los Angeles CineFest, Milwaukee Film Festival, and Blowup Arthouse Filmfest Chicago. Nolan’s production design work on Mono No Aware was featured at the BFI London Film Festival.
