Tayler Carter, a filmmaker originally from Troy, Missouri, shares his journey into the creative field of animation.

Despite an initial focus on what he considered rigorous academics, Tayler experienced extreme burnout. An unexpected study break created the awakening he needed to following his true passion for creative arts. This led him to Webster University where he wrote horror and comedy scripts.

His animated film "The Automaton" was recently showcased at a Filmmaker Showcase and is now streaming on EncoreNOW.
