Winston

Tanya E. Taylor is a passionate director who hails from Jamaica. With almost two decades of production experience, she has developed over 400 hours of content.
At her core, she’s still the 5-year-old sitting on the terrazzo tiled floor, too close to the black and white television. Grinning as the station identifier cross dissolves into the Jamaican flag billowing in the wind to the national anthem. The beginning of transmission of the island’s only television channel. Her love affair with the escapism promised by the screen began then and has intensified over the decades.
She made her transition to television after a three-year tenure in Advertising, in which she served as a Creative Director for 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.  
In 2002, Tanya founded Anyhoo Productions, a boutique company that specialized in creating branded content from concept to completion. During her time overseeing Anyhoo, she co-created a nine-season studio series the KFC Quiz Show and a competition series Heineken Green Synergy. She also produced and directed several other series including the international game show (Digicel’s) Deal or No Deal. From scripted to unscripted, her experience and expertise spans across a variety of formats.
Tanya relocated to New York to continue developing global content featuring her culture. She continues to write, produce and direct in the Jamaican commercial world and securing awards for same.
Winston is her first bold step into further exploring her art through film.
