Not to be mistaken with the famous Pop / Jazz Musician also named Lewis Taylor, Lewis Taylor is an award-winning London born writer/director and trained animator. Lewis has worked extensively in all aspects of the film and television industry for the last ten years. Whether it’s helping develop scripts for Hammer Films or creating costumes for Transformers, his energy and enthusiasm for film is as extensive as his collection of laser-discs. Wait? Why am I referring to myself in the third person?
My short ‘Sleep Tight’ played in large festivals worldwide and has gone on to win several awards including Worldfest Houston International Film Festival's Remi Award for “Best Horror Short” as well as qualifying for BAFTA consideration. My spec scripts have also received several awards and achievements including "Gold List for Best Unproduced Screenplay - British Independent Film Festival 2020” and "Winner for Best Comedy Screenplay - Cordillera International Film Festival 2020”. If my braggadocios ramblings haven’t put you off, please feel free to get in contact.
