Let's Talk Life with Tanya Taylor: Finding Success As A Black Film Director
On this week's episode of Let's Talk Life I sit down with Hollywood Director & Show-runner, Tanya Taylor as she shares her experiences and advice as a black woman in the heavily white, male dominated space of TV & Film production.
Tanya is a multi-hyphenate filmmaker, who hails from Jamaica.
She made her transition to television after working in advertising as a Creative Director on various campaigns for KFC, Pizza Hut, Jamaica Broilers and many others.
That experience inspired her to get behind the camera and embark on directing commercials and long form content.
Tanya's devotion to culturally relevant programming is evident in the content she continues to create. From commercials to narrative to reality series, her experience and expertise spans across a variety of formats.
In 2015, Tanya relocated to New York to continue developing diverse content for the global market. To showcase her narrative talent, Tanya wrote, directed, and produced her first independent narrative short.
Tanya currently resides in Los Angeles and just wrapped production on the new Fuse TV competition series- ‘Upcycle Nation’ that she developed and directed. Tanya also intentionally worked to hire a cast and crew of color for this project.
Tanya also worked as the challenge producer for the hit HBO Max show ‘The Hype’.
For Tanya, work is fun, so she’s developing the LGBTQ+ themed 7-part docu-fiction feature. Jamaican pride and the supernatural feature thriller Kumina, while producing, directing and/or show running whatever culturally uplifting projects cross her path.
