Weill Cornell Medicine: Taylor's Story

Taylor Rhodes was an all-American boy from an all-American family. A mother, a father, a younger sister. At 14-years-old, Taylor was prescribed Percocet for a tennis injury and it opened a door he never expected to walk through. Taylor was just 20-years-old when he passed away from co-occurring disorders of substance use and mental illness. I directed this short film on Taylor's story for Weill Cornell Medicine's addiction psychiatry department.
