Bio & background

Tobias Nathan is a commercial director who transitioned from journalism and New York agency copywriting into film. After studying journalism and creative writing at Boston University, he worked as a copywriter and creative director before pivoting via a short he wrote and shot upstate and a breakthrough co-directed Miguel music-video package. His commercial work includes Cadillac Lyriq “Paint Your Day,” Infiniti “Demand Center Stage,” KIA “Alongside You,” eBay Motors “Locked In,” Florida Power & Light’s “Here’s to Appliances” and “Powering Your Everyday,” Vodafone “Reimagine Your World,” Nespresso “This is Home,” Virgin Australia campaigns with Arc, the NHTSA PSA “Say Something,” Grey Goose including a Jay Ellis holiday film, Skyn “Feel Everything,” and reMarkable “Think Better.” Signature craft proof is Kith’s Team USA–tied “Moments In Life” (Matte)—three 90-second single shots following aspiring athletes in solitary peak moments. Press signing copy also names Apple Music, Samsung, and Remy Martin. His 2019 documentary short Breaking the Circle earned recognition from the Clio Awards, Telly Awards, and Lovie Awards. Trade profiles frame a hybrid storyteller whose writing background shapes thematic messaging, with imaginative shot-making and music-video/documentary-informed aesthetics. He is working with Photoplay in Australia, Film Construction in New Zealand, and LOS FILMS in the US, based between Los Angeles and Sydney.
