Hi, I’m Stephen Taylor, a multi-faceted filmmaker and founder of Colorway Productions. I love bringing bold visual stories to life and lifting the voices of queer folks and communities of color through accessible production services, collaborations with theaters and venues, and a focus on social impact. I’ve built a collaborative network of artists to craft editorial, narrative, and branded work that resonates while staying true to community values. In my downtime I’m learning music on my kalimba, traveling with my point-and-shoot, crossing films off my watch list, and digging through vinyl and CD collections.…Hi, I’m Stephen Taylor, a multi-faceted filmmaker and founder of Colorway Productions.
