I recently caught up with Taylor Brock to find out thêm about “Next.”
Give us an overview of your new project “NEXT, the web series.”
TAYLOR: tiếp theo chronicles what happens as the male-dominated tech world gets an injection of female leadership. It’s a scripted 5 episode dramedy created, written, directed, and produced bởi women about a Silicon Valley Tech start-up led bởi women. The season begins when the company CONNEXT, which has created a personal assistant device, the YES DEAR (voiced in a loving man’s voice after each request), goes on a retreat at a pivotal time to regroup…ironically, without any mobile device.

TAYLOR: My character, Ilona, is the founder and CEO of the company who desperately wants her company to succeed. This leads to her trying so hard to be cool and be just like the other startups which are founded bởi 20-somethings.
What would bạn consider your characters ‘best’ quality? And their ‘worst’?
TAYLOR: My character’s best quality is her determination. Worst: Inflexibility.

TAYLOR: It’s a lot of work and a lot of fun creating my own project. I absolutely would do it again; I’m thinking about Season 2. I’ve also produced a play that I acted in; Edward Albee’s The Goat or, Who is Sylvia?
