Director Tobias Nathan has signed with JOJX for representation in the U.S. spanning commercials, branded content and music videos.
Nathan has directed music videos for artists such as G-Eazy, Miguel, Luav, Walk the Moon, and Alessia Cara, for which he’s garnered over a billion views combined. In the ad realm, Nathan has directed spots for brands including Apple Music, Samsung, Infiniti, Vodafone, Nespresso, Grey Goose, and Remy Martin. Additionally, his documentary short Breaking the Circle chronicles a group of female samba players changing the cultural norms in Brazil.

Nathan shared, “I’ve always been interested in stories, the human condition, what makes us tick. I think that’s why I make films; to dive headlong into life’s unanswerable questions and try to answer some of them.”
Nathan said of joining the JOJX family, “Watching their work from afar has been inspiring for me. Their sensibilities–as filmmakers and as people–align almost too perfectly with my own and I’m excited to see what we can do together.”
Jackson Morton, founder of JOJX, said of Nathan: “Tobias is a natural at bringing out hidden authentic moments within the narrative of a script that otherwise can be overlooked. We’re looking forward to giving him more opportunities to further develop this incredible gift.”
Austin Stowell Gets Emotional About Portraying Stoic Jethro Gibbs In “NCIS: Origins”
Once again, Austin Stowell is having the best day ever — all thanks to him winning the role of legendary TV character Leroy Jethro Gibbs in "NCIS: Origins."
"Since I got this job, it has just been day after day after day of the greatest day of my life," says Stowell, smiling.
The actor has his shoulders back and chest up to portray the ex-Marine-turned-naval investigator, set 25 years before audiences first met "NCIS" star Mark Harmon.

"Mark and I talk a lot about what it means to be the leader of a team, about what it means to be a leader of this set and crew," he says. "Those conversations have been invaluable to me because I don't know what it's like. I've never been No. 1 on a TV show before."
The lessons he's learned: be on time, be kind, respectful and professional.
