About the Filmmaker

It Happens Every Day was produced by Ross Taylor, a visiting professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, with the help of Kelsey Ray, a graduate student at the University of Colorado Boulder and Luke Rafferty, an undergraduate student at Syracuse University. Ross Taylor produced this film in order to share Kristina’s story, with the hopes of igniting conversations among those who are survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) via the art of film.

Ross Taylor’s professional recognitions include National Photographer of the Year, Northern Photographer of the Year, New England Photographer of the Year, Virginia Photographer of the Year and North Carolina Photographer of the Year (twice).
