Victoria Taylor

Creative Director|Writer|Co-Founder of Beast Films Los Angeles

Victoria Taylor is a British creative director, writer and executive producer working between Los Angeles and London across branded content, commercial campaigns and long-form narrative development. As co-founder of Beast Films Los Angeles alongside director Lawrence Jacomelli, she has helped build a filmmaker-led production company recognised for cinematic storytelling, emotionally driven campaigns and visually distinctive branded content.

Working across both commercial and narrative projects, Victoria’s creative approach combines emotional storytelling, strategic thinking and cinematic visual language — helping brands communicate through atmosphere, character and human connection rather than traditional advertising formulas.

Today, Victoria develops campaigns, films and long-form projects through both Beast Films Los Angeles and Fastback Films, operating across the United States, the UK and international markets.

Building Beast Films Between Los Angeles and London

Victoria Taylor co-founded Beast Films with Lawrence Jacomelli in 2014, helping establish a filmmaker-led production company operating between London and Los Angeles.

While the company first developed through the London commercial and creative industries, Beast Films maintained strong creative links to Los Angeles from the beginning — reflecting a shared interest in cinema, independent filmmaking and narrative-driven visual storytelling.

As Beast Films expanded internationally, Victoria played a central role in establishing Beast Films Los Angeles as the company’s US division, allowing the studio to collaborate more directly with American brands, agencies and feature film productions.

Today, Beast Films Los Angeles operates across commercials, branded storytelling, corporate campaigns and long-form narrative projects — combining international production experience with the creative flexibility of an independent film studio.

Creative Direction & Cinematic Brand Storytelling

Victoria Taylor’s work focuses heavily on emotional communication, cinematic storytelling and narrative structure.

Rather than approaching campaigns through conventional advertising language, her work often prioritises atmosphere, emotional realism and visual restraint — helping brands communicate identity and feeling through cinematic storytelling.

This creative philosophy has shaped Beast Films’ approach across projects for clients including:

  • British Airways
  • IKEA
  • DAZN
  • Liberty Global
  • Swatch
  • Cambridge Audio
  • Tommy Hilfiger
  • Zalando

Her work regularly sits at the intersection of filmmaking, branded content and commercial storytelling, combining strategic clarity with emotionally driven creative direction.

From Destination Film to British Airways Broadcast

One of the defining examples of Victoria’s storytelling-led creative approach came through Beast Films’ collaboration with London creative agency Mr H and the Cayman Islands Tourist Board.

The campaign focused on creating cinematic destination films built around emotion, atmosphere and sensory experience rather than traditional tourism marketing.

Following the success of the project, the films later attracted the attention of British Airways Holidays and were adapted for international television broadcast and global in-flight distribution across British Airways’ entertainment network.

The project became an example of how cinematic branded storytelling can evolve beyond its original commercial brief — functioning simultaneously as tourism content, brand storytelling and broadcast advertising.

International Production & Creative Leadership

Victoria also played a central role in shaping Beast Films’ internationally coordinated productions, including Liberty Global’s large-scale 2023 end-of-year campaign.

The project required creative oversight and narrative consistency across productions filmed in:

  • London
  • Amsterdam
  • Northern England
  • Ireland
  • Singapore
  • Denver

Working across scripting, creative structure and production coordination, Victoria helped maintain a unified cinematic identity across multiple international crews, production environments and delivery formats.

This ability to combine emotional storytelling with large-scale production coordination has become a defining part of Beast Films Los Angeles’ international production model.

Fastback Films & Long-Form Narrative Development

Alongside Beast Films Los Angeles, Victoria Taylor also co-founded Fastback Films — a production company focused on feature films, television and long-form narrative storytelling.

Within Fastback Films, Victoria works across writing, development and executive production, focusing particularly on psychologically driven stories, contained thrillers and emotionally grounded genre filmmaking.

She served as writer and executive producer on Blood Star, the debut feature directed by Lawrence Jacomelli and filmed in the California desert before premiering at the Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival.

Fastback Films reflects Victoria’s ongoing interest in stories exploring psychology, identity, isolation and emotional tension through cinematic form.

Awards & Industry Recognition

Projects developed through Beast Films and Fastback Films have received international recognition across both advertising and filmmaking industries.

The companies’ work has also been featured in industry publications discussing cinematic advertising, filmmaker-led branded content and independent feature filmmaking.
