Fort Worth Film Commission

Taylor serves as Associate Film Commissioner and Marketing Manager at the Fort Worth Film Commission and Visit Fort Worth. She is a graduate from the Steer Fort Worth Keyholder’s Program and Leadership Fort Worth’s Leading Edge.

Taylor has always been passionate about the arts and entertainment.  From a young age, she was drawn to all things dance and musical theater, which led to an appreciation for storytelling.  She continued on this path as a student at Texas Christian University, studying Film, Television and Digital Media and Strategic Communication.

After completing a myriad of internships in the entertainment industry, she was selected as one of the first interns at the Fort Worth Film Commission, just two months after their launch in October 2015.  Now, Taylor serves as Associate Film Commissioner and Marketing Manager at the Fort Worth Film Commission and Visit Fort Worth. Taylor has worked to help build the Film Commission from the ground up, including launching a local production directory and location gallery.  She’s assisted in bringing feature films to Fort Worth, including Never Goin’ Back, Miss Juneteenth and 12 Mighty Orphans, and launched a Female Filmmaker Friday initiative which kicked off with an activation at SXSW 2019 and featured over 30 local crew members.

Taylor actively participates in the Fort Worth community, and is a graduate from the Steer Fort Worth Keyholder’s Program and Leadership Fort Worth’s Leading Edge.  She also served as a non-voting Board member for Performing Arts Fort Worth, a non-profit organization that manages the iconic Bass Performance Hall.
