TANNER K WILLIAMS is a queer, Ex Mormon director and photographer based in Los Angeles. His anti-triumphant body of work enables viewers to grapple with difficult-to-approach 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 storytelling language that satirizes traumas and critiques conservatism in a nuanced, poignant way. Tanner’s recent stand-out music videos have won three golds at CICLOPE, gold at The British Arrows, YDA Gold, and recently earned him the achievement of Best New Director at the 2026 Shots Awards.
