HELLO!
My name is Taylor Mills and I am the heart and soul behind T. Mills Films. I have a lifelong passion for filmmaking, both behind and in front of the camera. I am a motivated director, cinematographer, photographer, drone pilot, and actress that is always looking for new challenges and opportunities.
My Story
I started making videos at a very young age, and I can credit my dad for that. After watching him set up our home video camera while my siblings and I played, I finally got the courage to pick it up myself and at the age of 7, my life's passion had begun (the first video I made is under this for embarrassing proof). This hobby continued for the rest of my childhood, and once my teenage years came into frame, I knew that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

After graduating high school, I decided to continue my education at University of Winnipeg and in 2016, I received my BA in Filmmaking.That summer I was offered my first career job at Running Aces Horse Race Track as the lead camera operator and from there, I went on to be the St. Paul Saints first film intern in 2017.

In 2018 I was offered the incredible opportunity to work for Star Studio, a TV studio inside of the Children's Minnesota Hospital. Everyday, me and my 6 coworkers get to make a difference in patients live's by hosting and running 10 interactive shows a week, as well as filming and editing prerecorded videos for our 24/7 channel.

Currently, I am doing freelance video, photo, and drone work alongside my full time job. I am incredibly lucky to have a flexible schedule that allows me to work on other projects, as well as supportive coworkers who encourage me to progress in my film career. The majority of my work is filmed with a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4k/6k, my photos with a Canon 5D Mark 4, and my drone shots are a mixture of the DJI Mavic Pro 2, Air 2S, and Mavic Mini 3.
