Writer/Director/Editor Haylar Garcia is a seasoned veteran to the
entertainment business having literally grown up on the road. A
vocalist/musician/songwriter and hailed lyricist, Haylar began his
professional music career at the age of 17 while playing and touring
with any one of his three band incarnations. After five albums and more
than a decade of experience on stage, he took a behind the scenes
position in music production while owning and operating a Denver area
recording studio. After being credited as engineer/producer on a slew
of CD album projects and demo recordings for nearly every music genre
including: Pop, Rap, Rock, Country, Acoustic and Spoken Word, he turned
his creative efforts toward screen writing. His writing career was
jump- started in 2002 with a break to rewrite a script entitled "Risk"
for Agnelli Bloom productions with executive producer Penny Marshall.
After this accomplishment, Haylar decided it was time to do exactly
what he'd originally intended when he'd begun writing. He decided to
direct. Since then he has founded Tao Engine Philms, penned 7 full
length features and written and directed multiple short films and music
videos, honing his directorial and editorial skills for his most
current project, a feature entitled "Narcophonic (The Ballad of Bad
Bax)". Haylar's long and experienced past as well as his uncommon spark
for expression and innovation has now placed him in the role of
filmmaker. A place the rest of us think he has belonged for quite some
time. Haylar has currently written, directed and edited the award
winning feature documentary film "Do it for Johnny" A documentary about
indies as they try to bestow their screenplay unto mega-star Johnny
Depp. The doc has been accepted to and screened at 5 major American
film festivals, and is currently pending international distribution.
