Taylor James (yes… like the singer in reverse) is a former backup dancer turned director, writer, and photographer.

After 15 years performing alongside icons like JLO, Beyoncé, Dua Lipa, and Katy Perry, he traded the stage for the director’s chair, bringing his instinct for movement, comedic timing, and collaboration into bold, playful filmmaking. His award-winning short film ILY, BYE, starring Meg Stalter, Kanoa Goo, and Rainn Wilson, screened at over 50 festivals, winning the Grand Jury Prize at Sonoma International Film Festival and the Vimeo + NewFest Best First-Time Filmmaker Award. ILY, BYE is also a Vimeo Staff Pick and Short of the Week.

Working across narrative, music videos, fashion, and branded entertainment, Taylor brings a distinct mix of humor, energy, and pop culture sensibility to everything he creates. His credits include Amazon’s Celebrity Substitute, music videos for MUNA and Jason Mraz, and campaigns for Netflix, Verizon, Old Navy, Naturium, Jimmy Choo, Dragun Beauty, and QUAY.
