From the moment she appeared onscreen in “Tangerine,” it was clear that Mya Taylor was meant to be a star. The 2015 film made waves at that year’s Sundance Film Festival, first for having been shot entirely on iPhone and then for its candid and humanizing look at a day in the life of two transgender women of color as they navigate survival sex work in Los Angeles. An instant queer classic, Taylor won home Best Supporting Actress and Breakthrough Talent from Independent Spirit and Gotham award shows.
“I thought it was just gonna be some project that you get paid a few hundred dollars on. And it blew up,” Taylor said during a virtual interview during the Provincetown Film Festival, where she was honored with the queer-friendly festival’s Next Wave Award. “Especially when he said it was going to be filmed on iPhones. I did not see that at all.
