Short Film: Bliss won Best Short and Best Cinematography at She Directed Film Festival 2024. Bio: Tayla (She/Her) is a Queer actor, writer & director with bases in Melbourne, Sydney & QLD. She is of West Indian, Celtic, and English heritage and is a huge supporter of both Queer and chronic illness representation in the performing arts. Tayla grew up in Indonesia, NZ, America, and China before returning to Australia - as a result she's always ready for the next adventure! As a certified Scuba and Free diver Tayla has a passion for marine life & reef restoration projects across the globe. She has had extensive training in Theatre, Screen, and Voiceovers and loves working in these fields to bring unique & complex stories about the human experience to life. Tayla is currently in the process of writing her own Queer Coming of Age Drama (Short) and Feminist Paranormal Horror (Feature) to fulfill her own creative needs and learn about all aspects of this industry! She works closely with friends in a film collective to bring their stories and scenes to life.
