DISC Type : I

Creative Director at Mad Minds Entertainment

Los Angeles, California, United States

Overview

Taylor Thompson is a versatile creative director, writer, and film director with over a decade of experience in films, music videos, and commercials. Represented by A-list management company Range Media, he co-owns Lonesome Pictures and is noted for creating character-focused stories and high-level commercial pitch decks.

He describes his creative process as deeply personal, often borrowing directly from his own life to understand himself and the world through filmmaking.
