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, a Finalist for the Humanitas New Voices Fellowship, and a 2025 AFF Second Rounder. 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, Film Independent, and Ghetto Film Roster. 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).
