Meet Our 2024 Clinicians
Director, Documentarian
Taylor Dueweke
Taylor Dueweke has been to prison, twice, since becoming a documentarian— by invitation of the warden, of course. For Taylor, sometimes non-fiction storytelling turns into non-fiction story-investigating. After he began asking about a new murder suspect, the State of Massachusetts reopened their cold, 50-year-old, serial killer case— The Boston Strangler. His research into the unsolved murders earned him the crown of “expert” from GQ Magazine. Aside from detective, his other roles include audiographer, producer, fixer, and (the most fun) a development director. It’s all the stuff you don’t see: pitching, budgeting, fundraising, and educational outreach. Taylor took the Emmy-nominated documentary Birth of a Movement on tour around Boston Public Schools where taught students the history of racism in cinema.
