A redhead who hails from Kentucky, Taylor Coriell is a bicoastal writer & director with an affinity for ladycentric stories about belonging and the search for "home", through the lens of hour-long dramedies, buddy comedies, and rom coms.

A Black List Recommended writer, she has been honored to be in the Top 15% for the Nicholl Fellowship, a 2x Semifinalist for the Sundance New Voices Labs, and a Finalist for the Humanitas New Voices Fellowship, Atlanta Film Festival's TV Pilot Competition, & Catalyst Content Festival's Live Pitch Competition, and was most recently featured on The Stunt List's 2023 Naughty List. In 2024, Taylor won Panavision's New Filmmaker Award for her short film, Ladylike, and PANO's Production Microgrant for her short film, squish. Her work as a director & producer has been seen on Amazon Prime, Dekkoo, SeekaTV, and in festivals all over the world.

Taylor is a member of PANO, NYWIFT, Ghetto Film Roster, and Big Vision, Empty Wallet's Kickstart Diversity incubator. Taylor also volunteers for Fair Fight Action, Hood To The Holler, Mutual Aid LA, and Eastern KY Mutual Aid.

A former figure skater, recovering opera singer, and full-time pal, Taylor would love to talk about your favorite period piece, whether or not LA can one day provide her with a *actual* bagel, or even hear if you have a theory about why Barack Obama follows her on Twitter (yes, still).
