Cicatrix — Turning Scars into Stories of Redemption
Born from one of the most difficult chapters of his life, Cicatrix was Nathanael’s first fully realized film project — a story that began as personal therapy and became an award-winning international pilot. The show follows a fallen angel and a modern-day Samson searching for faith and purpose — a metaphor for the scars we all carry.
Cicatrix earned honors such as Best TV Pilot (Oniros Film Awards, Italy), Best Ensemble (Vegas Movie Awards), and multiple international festival selections spanning France, Russia, India, and the U.S.
The project reflects Nathanael’s essence as a creator: finding light in brokenness, faith in failure, and meaning in the mess. His filmmaking journey isn’t just about visual craft — it’s about restoring hope through story.
“What began as pain became purpose.”
— Nathanael Paul
