#206 Taylor Sharp, Producer, Director, Creator on The E-Spot with Camille
Taylor Sharp is a producer and documentary filmmaker with a specialty in telling meaningful stories, oftentimes originating at the intersection of sports and social impact. A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2016 as a Morehead-Cain Scholar, Taylor spent time working at a basketball nonprofit in Zimbabwe, a sports agency in D.C., and the NBA league offices in NYC. From Zimbabwe to Toronto to Egypt, Taylor has since traveled the world capturing compelling content and telling stories on a variety of platforms. Along the way, he has conducted 1-on-1 interviews with some of the most influential athletes in the world. While Taylor has focused mainly on unscripted content (commercial and promotional videos, digital series, feature documentaries, etc.), he recently produced a narrative short film for his production company Blue Cup Productions and has multiple scripted projects in development. In addition to filmmaking, Taylor co-founded and still serves as Vice Chair of the Board of Casting for Hope, a nonprofit that assists women and families in NC living with gynecological cancers.
