Hi, I’m Luke Taylor — a filmmaker, storyteller and founder of LT Film, where I work with individuals, businesses and organisations to bring stories to life through film. Whether it’s a documentary, promotional video or short film, I’m all about creating content that connects with people and leaves a lasting impression.
​
I’ve been working in the film and video production industry since 2012, but it all started much earlier — as a five year old with the family camcorder, filming everyday life just for the joy of it. That early curiosity grew into a real passion, and eventually a career in filmmaking.
​
I graduated with a first-class degree in Media Production from Bath Spa University in 2014 and have since produced a wide range of content for clients across the UK — from promotional and training videos to documentaries and creative shorts. I work alongside and in collaboration with Joanna Crosse and a team of experienced professionals who can bring your story to life.
​
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with clients such as Clark and their life insurance brands Polly.co.uk, Tom.co.uk and Winston.co.uk, Bluebird Care, St John’s Foundation, Trunki, Shaw Trust, Andrews Property Group, Lyons Seafoods, Revive! Auto Innovations, Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, Mytton Williams, Stone King and Theatre Royal Bath. ​I’ve also produced work for schools and universities including King Edwards School, Writhlington School, Bath University SU and St Mary’s University.
​​​​
One of my favourite parts of this work is documentary filmmaking. A few recent projects include:
​
-
The School on the Hill – following the closure of a much-loved school in Bath
-
What Happens When You Die? – exploring personal experiences around death and dying
-
A Roof Over My Head – a documentary on homelessness in Bath and North East Somerset, funded by St John’s Foundation​
​
And our latest documentary — which we’re currently working on! — is called Briefest Encounters. To mark the 80th anniversary of the iconic David Lean film Brief Encounter, we’re telling the untold story of a real-life love affair.
​
My short film Nan was awarded a Royal Television Society Award, televised on ITV and Sky Arts, and went viral online after being featured by Ancestry.co.uk. Other films have been selected for festivals in the UK, Europe and the US.
​
Alongside LT Film, I also co-founded Meaningful Films with Joanna Crosse, a platform focused on creating content that helps individuals and organisations to share their stories in a compassionate way that inspires change.
​
From 2019 to 2022, I was a trustee for BA1 Radio, a local Community Interest Company (CIC) helping people gain confidence and skills through community radio.
​
And outside of work? I live with my partner Dan and our rescue dog Daela, who came all the way from Bosnia!
JOANNA CROSSE
Joanna started her professional life as a trainee reporter on the Doncaster Evening Post where she had the chance to work on a range of stories from the Miners’ Strike to social deprivation and crime. She went on to work in commercial radio in Scotland and Leeds where she covered everything from business affairs to the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper.
​
Joanna's work took her to London where she became a network newsreader for IRN and LBC and had the opportunity to work on topical national stories and a range of human interest features. She moved to Breakfast Television – TVam - working as correspondent covering daily news stories.
​
Just when it looked like Joanna had the perfect life – a great job and recently married, she was sent to rehab by her TV boss. Three months later she came out with a completely different outlook and self-awareness which was to form the foundation stone for her work.
​
Joanna had three children and became a single parent, which alongside recovery from addiction, gave her some insights and understanding of life which she has brought into her work. Over 23 years ago Joanna moved to Bath and worked as a Crimestoppers reporter for many years as well being a voice and presentation coach for ITV, BBC, C4 and C5.
​
Joanna originated several documentary series – some of which were award winning – on social issues and it is an area that remains close to her heart.
​
It was Joanna's job as a Crimestoppers reporter that helped her to see how vitally important it is for people to find their voice and speak out about experiences. If not, how else are we to understand what is going on in the world around us and behind closed doors?
