NATASHA NEGOVANLIS

Natasha is a Canadian Screen Award winning, openly bi/pansexual actress, best known for playing the titular role in the digital phenomenon-turned-feature film Carmilla. Since her globally renowned portrayal of the “broody lesbian vampire” she has amassed a loyal social media fanbase of over 168K followers on Instagram and 114K on Twitter, where she is admired for her quirky sense of humour and advocacy for mental health awareness and positive LGBTQ+ representation.

With a background as a trained classical singer, Natasha studied music at McGill University in Montréal where she was also an active member of the improv comedy community. Since then, has had numerous screen credits, including: guest starring spots on shows such as: Slasher and Murdoch Mysteries and lead roles in female-driven movies such as: Almost Adults (2016) and Freelancers Anonymous (2018). Most recently, she can be seen in several episodes of the new Highball TV series Band Ladies.

In addition to acting, Natasha is a writer and producer and co-created the NYC Web Fest award-winning digital comedy series CLAIREvoyant with Shaftesbury Films, and her creative partner Annie Briggs. All fourteen episodes are available on the YouTube channel KindaTV, where Natasha also worked as a host and writer from 2016-2018, increasing the channel's subscribers by over 100K.

But when Natasha isn't wearing many hats (sometimes literally) loves travelling to meet her fans at conventions, inspiring people with her candid writing and doodles, and hanging out with her adopted rescue dog. She is also currently working on her first children’s book, and frequently volunteers with Canadian non-profit “Get Real Movement” focused on combatting discrimination in schools.
