Read full biography of Taurus Lowe

Taurus Lowe is a Los Angeles-based writer, director, producer, and creative executive. He founded Scorpion’s Lair Productions in 2016 and serves as Launchpad Director at Reel Funding Group, where he also contributes to Americas Operations.

Taurus’s background in live entertainment, event hosting, and DJing has given him a feel for the rhythm of a performance and what holds an audience’s attention. Before moving full time into creative work, he spent approximately six years in film funding. That experience still shapes how he develops an idea, from the characters and premise to the audience it could reach and what it will actually cost to produce. He looks for concepts with room to grow creatively and commercially, and a realistic plan for keeping them going.

His credits include executive producer on The Wise Guy (2021), associate producer on Camp Twilight, and work on Royalty Free. Through Scorpion’s Lair, his development slate includes House of Signs and She the People. He is also the creator of Field Day and Pass the Bar, original game formats being developed for episodic television production.

As Director of Reel Funding Group’s Launchpad Fund, Taurus brings an understanding of what creators need to tell their stories and what investors need to evaluate a project. Working with both developed concepts and ideas still taking shape, he focuses on bringing strong creative ideas together with workable production plans and sound business thinking.

House of Signs Cinematic Zodiac Universe

House of Signs builds a world around something audiences already feel connected to: their sign. Its characters draw their identities from the zodiac’s traits, mannerisms and birthstones, creating a distinctive ensemble with stories to tell through scripted series, stand-alone adventures, and content across social and vertical platforms.

Original music, birthday shoutouts and live experiences offer new ways to connect with the characters, while coloring books, costumes and merchandise invite audiences to carry a piece of House of Signs beyond the screen.
