Nathan Xia is a Chinese American actor, filmmaker, and alternative artist from San Diego, California. At age 19, he gained notoriety for his viral film GOODNIGHT AMERICA (starring Xolo Maridueña and Jacob Bertrand), boasting 1.8M+ views across the film and trailer. At age 20, he made his next film, OH, MIGHTY OCEAN! (starring Jack Griffo, Peyton List, and Jacob Bertrand) which was quickly acquired and distributed by Omeleto, ShortsTV, and Gonella Productions. Concurrently, Xia wrote, directed, and starred in his debut micro-budget feature film, CHASING SUNDANCE, acquired by Freestyle Digital Media and distributed worldwide on platforms like Apple TV, Amazon Prime, and Tubi. As Xia matured, his films and creative sensibilities did as well. His next film, ADAM’S SONG, screened at a multitude of film festivals and won awards at the Nashville Film Festival and the Ouray International Film Festival before being acquired for online distribution by Wong Fu Productions, NextShark, and FilmShortage, and for broadcast television distribution by PBS. AYO, CHECK UP!, a basketball mental-health dramedy, followed. The film premiered at LeBron James’ Uninterrupted Film Festival and was distributed online by Omeleto, NextShark, and NBA legend Jeremy Lin. His latest film, FLAVOR OF THE MONTH, has played festivals like the Fantasia Film Festival, Hawaii International Film Festival, and HollyShorts Film Festival, won 'Filmmaker to Watch' at the Ouray International Film Festival, and been distributed online by Short of the Week, Directors’ Notes, and NextShark. Xia is now developing the ADAM'S SONG feature with Benjamin Wiessner of Vanishing Angle, and is an alumnus of the Black List Project Lab. As an actor, Xia has appeared in Apple TV’s LOOT, as well as in film and TV projects for Matty Matheson & Ricky Staffieri, Jim Cummings, and Danny Madden. Up next, he has been cast in an undisclosed Netflix show in a role that has yet to be announced.
