TANNER K WILLIAMS  

Tanner K Williams is a Los Angeles-based, queer, Ex Mormon director and photographer using repulsion and nostalgia to digest conversations of mental health, trigger social reeducation, and disintegrate myopic religious expectations of sex and gender. Their anti-triumphant body of work enables viewers to grapple with difficult-to-approach religious and political issues by providing a familiar, albeit uncomfortable space. Gaudy absurdity contrasts with heavy, lived human experiences to present a satirical harmony of the yucky and the cute.

Tanner is a creative force having developed a niche and relatable language that satirizes traumas and critiques hate groups in a nuanced, poignant way. Tanner’s recent stand-out music video “shiversucker” for Madge won three golds at this years Ciclope’s festival of creativity demonstrating the filmmakers raw talent and fresh intentional approach to meaningful visual storytelling.
