Taylor Owenby is an independent film, television and new media producer committed to uncompromising visions that challenge conventional paradigms. As a child actor in the 90's, he fell in love with the collaborative, (sometimes dysfunctional) family environment that a project creates. He knew then, whether a film, television, live event of theatrical production, it is the spirit and power of collaboration that could make "magic" real. He made short films on a flip camera with his friends. He produced stage plays for his public high school, that otherwise could not afford them, by selling sponsorship and ad space in the programs. To pursue his lifelong quest, he engaged in producing projects for community college then enrolled at The Savannah College of Art and Design on a scholarship, where he attended Advertising school. At 22, he moved to Atlanta and founded Matchbook Media + PR, Georgia's first locally-owned hybrid public relations and media production firm. He worked with several film festivals in the State and had the opportunity to work with entertainment leaders from Nashville, New York, Hollywood and Atlanta. After doing a lot of traveling, he foresaw the necessity for the talent in Georgia to match the standards of those in more developed markets. That launched his producing career in television and film as a professional.
In 2013, Taylor became the youngest Executive Producer in Georgia with one of the first SAG-AFTRA New Media pilots. Subsequently, he became the youngest Feature Film producer in Georgia to produce a project with name Talent, securing global distribution. He filmed an action-thriller called Operator in his hometown of Covington, Georgia, where he worked with Ving Rhames, Mischa Barton, Luke Goss and Michael Pare. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and screened in theaters around the world. He also began representing projects for marketing and distribution, while showcasing a Hollywood premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre. In 2017, by partnering with industry veterans and investors, he launched Cinema Park Studios, a film studio and talent incubator in downtown Atlanta. Next, Taylor will be adding Screenwriter to his credits while Executive Producing a feature-length horror project in Stone Mountain, Georgia.
