Nathan M Rose
Chairman of The Board
Nathan M. Rose is the founder and CEO of FlickDirect Inc., an independent entertainment news and film coverage platform serving moviegoers and industry professionals since 2006. A lifelong film enthusiast raised in South Florida, his passion for movies began at an early age with formative theatrical experiences such as Die Hard and Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
Before launching FlickDirect, Rose built an early digital entertainment brand with MagicalMountain.net, which became a recognized fan and travel community and officially collaborated with Walt Disney World Theme Parks and Resorts. During that era, he hosted approved live events with Disney and co-hosted the Disney podcast MouseTunes, which won the People’s Choice Podcast Award for Best Travel Podcast in 2006.
Founded from the ground up, FlickDirect has grown under Rose’s leadership into a long-running and trusted media outlet. In addition to overseeing editorial strategy and operations, Rose personally leads the company’s technical infrastructure and development, designing and maintaining its platforms while contributing as a film historian, award-winning podcaster, and photojournalist. His hands-on approach has helped establish FlickDirect as a consistent and credible voice within the entertainment industry.
