The Taylows

The past is never far behind.

A teen’s sudden disappearance in Richmond, Virginia unravels a chilling legacy of greed, tragedy, and supernatural vengeance that the Taylow family has cast over their community for generations.

Developed and filmed over several years, The Taylows is a three-part short film anthology set in Virginia and revealed through the eyes of its community. From the screenwriting and performances to the filmmaking itself, the shadow of the South’s dark history shapes the lived experiences of its characters.
