Today, I’m joined by filmmaker Kelsey Taylor — a powerful voice in modern storytelling whose work explores the emotional terrain where pain meets resilience. Kelsey is the writer and director of the upcoming feature film To Kill a Wolf, a haunting and heart-wrenching reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood, set against the backdrop of the Oregon wilderness. Through raw performances and deeply human characters, Kelsey dives into the complex themes of trauma, survival, and the long road to healing. With a background in both narrative and genre filmmaking, she brings an empathetic yet unflinching lens to the screen — and her work refuses to shy away from the darkness in order to find the light. I’m honored to welcome Kelsey to the podcast.
