Logline: In order to cement his place as Rightful Heir of Crete, King Minos summons a divine bull from the ocean and with it, a series of tragedies that lead to his undoing.

Bio: Taylor Geu was born in Yankton, South Dakota. Her first publication was a weekly comic book they passed around the playground in 4th grade. They learned general audiences were philistines. Since then, she’s become passionate about gender abolition and social justice, centering them in her scripts for stage and screen. A surrealist and fantasist, she’s interested in using the weird and spectacular to aid audiences in reconsidering what it means to be human beyond the usual societal script and norms.
