Natty Gray is an accomplished videographer. As an analog fetishist, his work often revolves around the use of physical media such as Video8 and VHS-C, however, he is also well versed in digital formats. His video work is thematically and stylistically broad, spanning sensory ethnography and documentation, to music videos, art films, and promotional pieces. The video projects of Gray are often married with his audio work.

The Cult House Documentary has been screened at the Second Line Film Festival. As a teenager, his art film, JAN 1ST 1200 AM, created with friend and Cult Love co-founder, George Christ, was screened at the Tulsa Overground Film Fest.
