Nathan Xia

Biography

Nathan Xia is a Chinese American actor, filmmaker, and indie-rock artist from San Diego, California. His films have been screened at film festivals like Lebron James’ Uninterrupted Film Festival and Los Angeles International ShortsFest, won Audience Awards at the Nashville Film Festival and National Film Festival for Talented Youth, and distributed worldwide by platforms like Apple TV, Amazon Prime, and PBS. His performance in “ADAM’S SONG” won him “Best Performance” at the Ouray International Film Festival and caught the attention of Brian Tallarico, Managing Editor of Roger Ebert, who said, “The heartfelt film should propel its multi-talented star/writer/director to another level.” Xia's innate fascination with misunderstood people inspires him to tell stories driven by deeply emotional performances from complex characters. His films explore themes of mental health, coming-of-age, and the Asian American experience through an emotionally vibrant and comedic personal lens.
