104 years ago today, Irish film director William Desmond Taylor was found murdered in his Hollywood home — one of early cinema’s great unsolved mysteries.

That story continues to inspire creativity and connection. Cleverality founded Taylorfest, an annual film and arts festival in Taylor’s hometown of Carlow, to celebrate his legacy and the spirit of storytelling that endures.
