Heather Taylor is a writer/ director of TV and films about complicated family relationships - often told through a supernatural/ horror/ sci-fi lens. Originally from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, she is a dual Canadian and UK citizen and US Green Card holder.

She hopes the conversations on Braaains help people look at mental health and disability representation in a new - and more informed - light.
