## Production

### Concept and Creation

Following the cancellation of Dylan Basham’s project, *The Door Lord*, it was decided by Basham that it would be easier to produce a prequel series as opposed to a feature film. Originally titled The Murders of Kyle Clemont, the series would explain the human life before Door Lord became a supernatural villain. This would be done in the style of a vlog. Nate Williams was introduced as a character only to further the story of Door Lord.

However, during the early writing and planning stages, Basham became fond of the Nate Williams character and decided that the series should be based around him instead. The title of the series was then changed to Nate’s Mysteries to reflect this new shift.

### Writing

Basham came up with the initial storyline for the first season to follow. He then got a few close friends and even a relative to take up spots to write a few of these episodes while he wrote the rest.

### Filming

The first season began filming in August 2020 and concluded in December of the same year.

### Music

Not having a composer, Basham decided that he would make the music himself. He composed the opening, closing titles, and the majority of the score featured throughout most of the episodes.

## Soundtrack

Nate's Mysteries: Season 1 (Music from the Original TV Series) was released on January 23, 2021.

Soundtrack on Apple Music
