Semifinalist, 2026 Roadmap Writers' Shorts Competition
BIO
A born-and-bred Kentuckian, Taylor Coriell is a Black List Recommended, bicoastal writer/director with an affinity for ladycentric stories about belonging & the search for "home". Her work has been recognized by the Humanitas New Voices Fellowship, the Nicholl Fellowship, the Sundance New Voices Lab, and the Austin Film Festival, and can be seen on Amazon Prime, Dekkoo, and SeekaTV. Taylor most recently won Panavision's New Filmmaker Award, PANO's Production Microgrant, and the Audience Choice Award for Comedy at YoFiFest. A former figure skater, recovering opera singer & full-time pal, Taylor would love to talk about your favorite period piece, whether or not LA can one day provide her with an actual bagel, or even hear if you have a theory about why Barack Obama follows her on Twitter.
