The Writer: Kris Taylor

An aspiring pro screenwriter of films and TV. Telling stories that get the pulse racing and heart aching in equal measure. North East based, My two feature films The Grace and Syd and the Geordie Men, have previously been under option and in 2024, I was hired to write a feature screenplay (subject to NDA) for a local production company. With many other projects at varying stages of development, I'm seeking representation and keen to connect with producers to help bring my stories to life. I want to collaborate, so let's collaborate! I've also directed two short films, the latest a zero budget, supernatural horror, 'Commercium (the summoning), available on YouTube now. Go to bio
