About Us


Between VHS and Blockchain

Karen Taylor is a producer, creative strategist, and occasional writer, raised on the sharp end of Gen X idealism and VHS-era storytelling. She’s spent decades in the film and television trenches — moving between broadcast drama, low-budget indies, music promos, and original IP, all with the same instinctive eye for story and survival.

Her debut feature as producer (and co-writer) was Christmas Presence, a genre-bending horror picked up by AMC Networks , co-produced by Plenitude’s Financial Controller, Andrew J. Hill, and streaming on Shudder. Since then, she’s shaped narratives across genres and formats, always drawn to stories that bite back—darkly comic, political, or quietly surreal.

Karen also co-produced award-winning short films including LAIKA, which received Best VFX at LA Global Shorts and Hellifax Horror, with official selections at Torino Film Festival, Fantasia Film Festival, and many more.

Now, through her studio Plenitude Productions, Karen’s in radical reinvention. Sequestering new AI skills to merge with a foundation of traditional filmmaking, she’s developing a new slate of work—animated YouTube series, spiritual tech shorts, and satirical ads that skewer the chaos of late-stage capitalism. She’s also exploring Web3 as a new model for feature film funding, with AI and traditional craft coexisting within the same creative ecosystem. Alongside this, she acts as Head of Content & IP at a growing media company in London.

Her style is visceral yet reflective—defined by analogue textures, narrative risk-taking, and characters on the edge of collapse or clarity. With new projects under wraps and a digital toolkit always half-exploding, Karen’s not just adapting to the new landscape—she’s helping create it.


What’s Next?


Karen was selected for the founding cohort of Xtendency Academy, a live AI training programme for creatives reshaping how stories get made. Alongside that, she’s helping launch new IP at an emerging media company — complete with children’s books, an animated YouTube channel, and enough magic to make a licensing team sweat.

To future-proof her creative practice, she’s also attending SheFi Cohort 14, gaining foundational knowledge in blockchain, DeFi, and Web3 tools. It’s all part of building new models for storytelling — where AI, crypto, and independent filmmaking can finally coexist.
