As a writer
Nadres first wrote professionally for Komiks, together with Mars Ravalo doing layouts and writing stories for the publication and in 1968 became the managing editor of the same publication. In the 1960s, he worked for G. Miranda and Sons Publishing Co. which later inspired him to write Masikip, Maluwang... Paraisong Parisukat. Later he became the editor of Sixteen Magazine, a job which introduced him to the world of film. He became involved in theater because of his involvement with Lino Brocka, who introduced him to Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA). After martial law was declared, he helped sustain PETA, as an actor, playwright and trainer in CITASA. In the 1970s, Nadres wrote Hanggang Dito na Lamang at Maraming Salamat, a stage play about homosexual love. In the late 1980s, when he decided to stay in his hometown Tayabas, Nadres formed the theater group Sanayan at Ugnayan sa Sining (SUSI), which revived the traditional performances of Carillo, Santacruzan, and Sarswela.
