Nancy Boy Pictures is a Toronto-based production company devoted to cinematic storytelling that is intimate, emotionally resonant, and unafraid of complexity. Founded in 2012 by writer/director Bill Taylor, the company develops feature films and documentaries that explore forgiveness, resilience, and the complicated ways people connect in a fractured world.

Alongside the company’s own work, Taylor has built a reputation for producing fearless, culturally significant projects. While working with Gay Agenda, he produced AntiDiva: The Carole Pope Confessions in partnership with Here’s The Thing Productions for CBC, supported by Telefilm, CMF, and Ontario Creates. At Cineflix, he oversaw the production of Summer Qamp, which premiered at TIFF and is now streaming on Peacock. He also produced the A&E docuseries Secrets of the Bunny Ranch for Yap Films.

Nancy Boy Pictures debut feature, Don’t Get Killed in Alaska, premiered to acclaim and established the company's commitment to character-driven storytelling. The film—written, directed, and produced by Taylor—was supported by the Canada Council and Ontario Arts Council, ran theatrically in Canada, was distributed in Europe, and screened at festivals across the country.

Bill’s breakout short Silver Road, developed under the mentorship of Sarah Polley, screened at over 30 international festivals, aired on CBC and MTV Logo, and has been viewed over 3 million times online. The film helped shape the company’s ethos: a belief in stories that are personal yet expansive, and emotionally honest without being sentimental.

At its core, Nancy Boy Pictures champions stories that balance intimacy with impact: sometimes funny, sometimes devastating, but always grounded in emotional truth. Whether developing award-winning screenplays or producing compelling documentaries, the company believes in the power of storytelling to spark conversation, bridge divides, and leave a lasting impression.
