Hailing from the mountain ranges of Taranaki, Taylor moved to Wellington to pursue his love of writing and filmmaking - while working in Art Department on projects such as Timebandits, the Avatar Sequels, and Westside, in his spare time, he wrote and directed his own projects, creating the award winning short, Absence of Emily, the comedy collective Rickety Banter, and the two-time Best Pilot Roadie among other projects.
Now he’s working in the music and commercial scene, capturing music videos for Aotearoa greats like Sofia Machray, Estelle Sierra, Milktooth, and Sig Wilder. He also captures events like Fringe Festival, Classical on Cuba and Froth at the Grand, while crafting commercials for companies like Xero and FIFA.
Passionate about telling stories that connect and uplift, Taylor is always gearing up for a new project, and learning from the professionals working around him. He's also the founder of Proud Dad, a collaborative community connecting the creative scene in Aotearoa closer together.
His ambition is to work in Television, creating binge-worthy series and telling stories with heart and soul.
