Jastin Nolan
Actor/ Filmmaker/ Producer · Video Project
I’m an actor, producer, and creative based in Indiana, building my career across film, television, and live performance. I gained national exposure as a contestant on Squid Game: The Challenge Netflix, appearing in three episodes and introducing my work to a global audience. I graduated from Indiana University in 2023, and since then I’ve worked both in front of and behind the camera. I acted in and produced the feature film Sunday, and have taken on production roles in projects like the Oscar-shortlisted short film The Ice Cream Man and the upcoming Losing Hope. I’ve also competed in film festivals, winning at an Indiana University competition judged by the Duffer Brothers and earning nominations for Best Film and Cinematography at the 48 Hour Film Festival, where my team also won Best Poster. Right now, I’m focused on developing original work, including a psychological thriller based on my mom’s novel, while continuing to train, audition, and grow as an actor. I’m passionate about storytelling that feels real, intense, and human. Beyond film, I bring an entrepreneurial mindset to everything I do, combining creativity with business through ventures in advertising and content production. I’m building a career not just as a performer, but as a creator with a long-term vision—someone who can develop, produce, and lead meaningful projects from the ground up.
