MEET THE STARCATCHER TEAM
KIA RIDDICK-TAYLOR, owner-founder
Kia owns StarCatcher Productions, LLC in Orlando, FL, where she is an Acting Coach and Casting Director.
Kia’s career in entertainment spans over 25 years. Her career started in casting, where she fell in love with artists, the art of storytelling, and a genuine respect for the craft. She remained in casting until it was time to expand her journey, making way for the birth of StarCatcher Acting Studio. Since the inception of StarCatcher, Kia has helped her students reach their goals, creating a space for exploration of the craft and mindset in a safe environment. This space allows them to play, explore, and grow at a pace that meets them where they are and helps them navigate the uncertain waters of this business.
DANIEL TAYLOR, owner/founder
Dan is our resident guide and guru, behind-the-scenes mastermind, and fixer. Everyone knows that so much of what makes a show or film successful is what happens behind the scenes; Dan’s objective lens has helped Star Catcher navigate everything from its inception to community outreach and national and international recognition. Dan’s business experience, forward-thinking insight, and love of entertainment brought StarCatcher to light. In addition to his business expertise, his love of TV, film, great stories, and storytellers is why StarCatcher is the successful studio it is and will continue to be.
