NATHAN TAPE

Nathan Tape grew up in the Deep South and started making movies as a teenager with his family’s home video camera, using their VCR for editing.

As a Filmmaker, Nathan tells stories about outsiders on the fringes of society. With his background in photography and music, his films have a bold visual style and exhibit a strong connection to music. Nathan graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Loyola University in New Orleans, and afterwards obtained his Master’s Degree in Film Production from Loyola Marymount Los Angeles.

After school, Nathan returned to Louisiana and began working in the lighting department on major Hollywood productions, soon graduating to becoming a Gaffer for films and television (Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, Night Teeth, Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger). Meanwhile, Nathan continued to work as cinematographer on various short films (Stick Up, One Last Ride) as well as feature films (The King of New Orleans, Demigod).

Nathan has also directed, produced and photographed music videos for artists such as: Rotary Downs, Kristin Diable, Flaunt, The Buttons, The Asylum Chorus, Cha Wa, Silent Em and his own group Know-One and DamNathan.

In 2020, Nathan wrote, directed, photographed and edited MORIAH, his first narrative short film since graduate school. MORIAH has won multiple awards and screened at over 30 festivals world-wide.

In 2022 Nathan directed his first feature film: OFF RAMP. A film about a couple of lovable, degenerate Juggalos must sojourn through America’s hellish underbelly to The Gathering of the Juggalos, the one place on earth they feel accepted.

Nathan lives in New Orleans and is a big fan of peanut butter and the New Orleans Saints.
