Nathaniel Tesfaye

Nathaniel Tesfaye, born in Edmonton, AB, Canada is a firestarter talent with a passion for connection. Working with the Make it Awkward campaign, Nathaniel worked with his start-up studio "North Star Studios" to workshop compelling narrative commentaries for the movement. Featured in an "EDO" TV ad, and national "The Brick" commercial, Nathaniel has found himself behind and in front of the camera throughout his young career. On an indie side of things, "Black Dog" written, directed and lead by Tesfaye saw him working with ACTRA to create a union standard independent horror short. Most recently, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Nathaniel under Alberta Health regulations and recommendations worked as an actor and producer on the pilot episode of a new drama "Locked in Love" that delves into the trials of and tribulations of quarantine and its impacts on the relationships we hold dear.
